Cannot find module '@rometools/cli-linux-x64/rome

[Th3S4mur41]

I've added rome as a dev dependecy to my project and running it locally with npm run rome ci . works fine.

Running the same in a Github Action however failed with:

node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1078
  throw err;
  ^

The reason was that on ci, I didn't install optional dependencies for performance reasons:

npm ci --omit=optional --no-audit --prefer-offline --progress=false

Changing this to no longer skip optional dependencies fixed the issue and rome is now also running fine on the CI

npm ci --no-audit --prefer-offline --progress=false

Yes, this is intentional. If you know your architecture and OS, you should install it together with the rome package as a dependency. In your case npm install @rometools/cli-linux-x64 should fix your issue.
