Unable to deploy using working_directory/deliverables

[drummerjolev]

TL;DR

Cannot deploy Express app when in a sub-directory e.g. server/app.js

I unsuccessfully tried to:

• set the working_directory variable with relative/absolute paths
• set the deliverables variable with relative/absolute paths

Expected behavior

Successful deployment to Google App Engine

Observed behavior

You need to add actions/checkout@v3 somewhere before the deployment, otherwise the workspace is empty

[drummerjolev]

Ugh 😓 very embarrassing – sorry for the bother! Works like a charm now.
