Not deploying to production

[jpangelle]

I am having trouble deploying to production. If I remove the vercel-args: '--prod' line, it properly deploys to my Vercel staging environment, but having the vercel-args: '--prod' line just does not deploy at all. I can not figure out why.

My deploy-to-production.yml config:

name: Deploy to Vercel

on:
  push:
    branches: [master]
    paths-ignore:
      - "server/**"

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    defaults:
      run:
        working-directory: client
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: hallee/eslint-action@1.0.3
        with:
          repo-token: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}
          source-root: client
  deploy-to-production:
    needs: lint
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: amondnet/vercel-action@v19
        with:
          github-comment: false
          vercel-args: '--prod'
          vercel-org-id: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_ORG_ID }}
          vercel-project-id: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_PROJECT_ID }}
          vercel-token: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}

It appears that when I run vercel --prod command in the terminal, nothing happens so maybe this is not related to this Action.

In order for it to work, I had to remove this from my vercel.json:

"github": {
  "enabled": false
}

This is still confusing me because the instructions directed me to add this. 🤷‍♂️

Actually, argggg. Still not working even with that removed.

Where is your publish directory? Is it a static site?

example

// Your Build Script(if not static site)

      - uses: amondnet/vercel-action@v19
        with:
          github-comment: false
          vercel-args: '--prod'
          vercel-org-id: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_ORG_ID }}
          vercel-project-id: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_PROJECT_ID }}
          vercel-token: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }}
          working-directory: 'client' // your directory

Ah that makes sense.
