I am going through similar issue. I tried a bunch of things, however I keep coming back to this error:

Node.js 16 actions are deprecated. Please update the following actions to use Node.js 20: actions/configure-pages@v3. For more information see: https://github.blog/changelog/2023-09-22-github-actions-transitioning-from-node-16-to-node-20/.

I also tried bumping up GitHub Actions versions with negative results ☹️

Hey @rudzainy. I managed to solve the "warning" about Node.js by following @joshjohanning commit. My issue remained hence I reverted the change, either way the warning from github actions was gone.

For the time being, I just commented out the tests in pages-deploy.yml so that at least something is showing on my site 😞

I'm thinking if the test failed in setup or build stages 🤔

You can temperarily bypass the problem by modifying Gemfile

- gem "jekyll-theme-chirpy", "~> 6.5", ">= 6.5.1"
+ gem "jekyll-theme-chirpy", "~> 6.4.2"

---

update: 24.03.01
You can now update to version 6.5.2 to solve this problem.

@Brainor you wizard, it works now, thank you.

Do you mind explaining or pointing me in the right direction on why this version change solves the github page issue?

[Brainor]

I just know the version 6.4.2 works and version 6.5.1 doesn't work, so I manually set the jekyll-theme-chirpy version to be 6.4.2 to solve this problem.
I don't know where the true problem/bug lies, so this is the best I can do😄
