Github Actions: "error Command "next" not found."

Question

So, one of my github actions workflow is giving me an error: "Command "next" not found."

i really don't know why next isn't being found, i've done an ls earlier and it's running the script in the right folder, next.js is listed as a dependency as seen here

i also had a test workflow running, and that worked perfectly

here are the full logs

this error is very odd, since i just copy and pasted this workflow from another project i have, and there everything works fine

the working deploy workflow: web_deploy.yml

the broken deploy workflow: web_deploy_broken.yml

Answer

i was missing a version entry in my package.json, yes, that's it

You are missing install dependencies step like here

- name: Install dependencies
  run: yarn install

It's not github action problem - you are just missing a dependency. next doesn't come with plain yarn

so you're suggesting i remove cache from setup-node?

i just removed caching from setup-node, yarn install ran as normal, my other services compile as normal, but the web one just breaks, it cant find next.js for some reason, i also removed 'yarn' from the script, i literally have no idea of why this is not working

OH MY GOD, the problem was that i didnt have a version thing on my package.json, now the workflow is giving a build error

Well update it or create a new one :) and provide full information about your package.json and full workflow - otherwise it's a guessing game...

i've solved it already thanks, the problem was that my package.json didn't have the version entry, the other error was some react stuff thank you
