Build failed on Windows system in GitHub actions

[A-kirami]

I am using JonasKruckenberg/tauri-build To build my application, but there has been a recent issue where it cannot be built correctly on Windows systems.

I'm not sure where the problem is, but I searched in GitHub and no one else has experienced the same situation, so I want to seek help here.

This is a partial log of actions:

How should I solve this problem? Thank you very much if you can provide assistance.

Please make sure your tauri cli version is 1.3.1 where we published a fix for this.

[A-kirami]

请确保您的 tauri cli 版本是 1.3.1，我们为此发布了修复程序。

Its version is indeed 1.3.1.

  "devDependencies": {
    "@tauri-apps/cli": "^1.3.1",
  }

[FabianLars]

Ahh i see now. Since you're not using the runner argument of the action it will use it's own bundled version which still uses 1.3.0.
If i see it correctly, the action can't handle pnpm tauri as an input (still worth to try) in which case you'd have to install it globally (pnpm add -g @tauri-apps/cli) to be able to set runner: tauri

I forked tauri-build action and updated the tauri cli version to 1.3.1, but this error still exists.

I saw that other warehouses using the same operation did not have this error. Perhaps I did something wrong elsewhere?

[FabianLars]

You have to run "pnpm all" (or maybe "pnpm build" is enough, I'm not too familiar with that project) and commit the changes in the dist folder for the updated cli to take effect.

Thank you for your help. After using the pnpm package to update the dist folder, it can be built normally.
