Error: spawn npm ENOENT

[Rutger-Knijnenburg]

I'm using this action to version bump after building the project and installing NPM packages.

However on the version bump action I get this error. I don't understand why, the runner is using node V 16.13.1.

✖  fatal     Error: spawn npm ENOENT
    at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:282:19)
    at onErrorNT (node:internal/child_process:477:16)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:83:21)
✖  fatal     Failed to bump version

My folder structure:

Root
---- ProjectA [folder]
------- dist [folder
------- readme.md
------- package.json
------- package-lock.json
---- ProjectB [folder
.gitignore
.readme

Action (partly):

    - name: "Version Bump"
      uses: "phips28/gh-action-bump-version@master"
      with:
        tag-prefix: 'V'

Do you see more logs before the fatal? to maybe point to the right code line it crashed.

[EvgenySerebrenny]

Seeing the same problem with similar setup. No relevant logs before fatal crash

Can you try the latest version: https://github.com/phips28/gh-action-bump-version/releases/tag/v9.0.38
I added more logs what command fails.

It has something to do with the workspace (but I am not using this actively in my own setups)

[Rutger-Knijnenburg]

Logging while using latest version (v9.0.38):

I am using:
defaults:
run:
working-directory: ./Projects

On the job itself. Is that what you mean by workspace?

Are you running on a windows machine?
Because this has backslashes: process.env.GITHUB_WORKSPACE D:\a\DU\DU/Projects
Can you share your runs-on:
https://github.com/phips28/gh-action-bump-version/blob/master/.github/workflows/push.yml#L11

[Rutger-Knijnenburg]

Correct:

runs-on: windows-latest

[phips28]

Ok then this action is not working on windows as it seems 😄
never tested on windows, and will never use windows for dev purposes 😉

But you can make a PR to support windows:

• make sure backslash is used everywhere
• make sure npm commands are the same on windows as on linux systems
• check runInWorkspace() usage with spawn commands, if they work on windows as expected

[Rutger-Knijnenburg]

Ah I see :P Can confirm this all works on ubuntu-latest indeed.
Will try to get this working on windows when I have the time!

Thanks for your assistance.
