fs undefined reading createWriteStream

[anibe]

Hello,

We recently noticed our builds failing the FOSSA scan due to the error below:

Run fossas/fossa-action@main
Error: There was an error fetching FOSSA CLI. TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'createWriteStream')

It appears to have been introduced with v1.2.0.

Could you please consider offering backward compatibility for build agents that don't support the new Node.js syntax?

Details of our GitHub Action runner below:
Operating System:
Ubuntu

LTS
Virtual Environment:
Environment: ubuntu-20.04
Version: 20220410.2

Same here,

As a temporary workaround, you can pin the FOSSA action version like this:

      - name: "Run FOSSA Test"
        uses: fossas/fossa-action@v1.1.0
        with:
          api-key: ${{ secrets.FOSSA_API_KEY }}
          run-tests: true

Please check the attached PR. It is working with the change suggested by @anibe. Hope to get it in soon!

Unless I've missed something, I'm still getting this when targeting v1.3.0 on the GitHub ubuntu-latest agents and node.js 16.

@tobysmith568 can you please share the pipeline run link?

[shubham1172]

Actually you are right, I just checked. The tag v1.3.0 does not contain the commit

The release v1.3.0 is behind main by 1 commit:

@himynameisdave can you please recreate the release/tag with the right commit?

Also getting this on v1.3.0
