GitHub Actions is a powerful CI/CD tool integrated into GitHub, allowing developers to automate their workflows directly from their repositories. It enables you to build, test, and deploy your code right from GitHub. With GitHub Actions, you can create workflows that build the code in your repository, run tests, and then deploy it to production or any other environment.
When using GitHub Actions, you might encounter an error message stating Invalid action version
. This error typically appears in the logs when a workflow run fails to execute a specified action due to an incorrect or unavailable version.
In the workflow logs, you might see an error message similar to:
Error: Invalid action version 'v1.0.0' for action 'actions/checkout'.
This indicates that the version specified for the action does not exist or is not valid.
The Invalid action version
error occurs when the version of an action specified in your workflow file does not match any available versions in the action's repository or the GitHub Marketplace. This can happen if the version is mistyped, the action has been updated, or the version has been removed.
To resolve the Invalid action version
error, follow these steps:
Check the action's repository or the GitHub Marketplace to ensure that the version you are using is available. You can find the available versions in the action's repository under the tags
or releases
section.
Edit your workflow YAML file to specify a valid version. For example, if you are using the actions/checkout
action, ensure the version is correct:
uses: actions/checkout@v2
Replace v2
with the correct version if necessary.
After updating the workflow file, commit the changes and push them to your repository. This will trigger the workflow again. Check the logs to ensure that the error is resolved.
