Beginner issue - relative path, ssf

[cfjedimaster]

I'm very new to Actions, so forgive me if this is dumb. I've got Flat Data properly grabbing my JSON and I'm working on the postprocessing.

First off - there is no way to test locally... right?

Second, I'm modifying the example given for the BTC demo, so far I only have this:

import { readJSON, writeJSON, removeFile } from 'https://deno.land/x/flat@0.0.10/mod.ts' 

const filename = Deno.args[0];
const json = await readJSON(filename);
console.log(json);

When I manually run the action, I get:

Error: Command failed: deno run -q --allow-read --allow-write --allow-run --allow-net --allow-env --unstable ./fixweather.js _data/weather.json
�[0m�[33mWarning�[0m Implicitly using latest version (1.0.0) for https://deno.land/x/url_join/mod.ts
�[0m�[1m�[31merror�[0m: Relative import path "ssf" not prefixed with / or ./ or ../ from "https://cdn.deno.land/sheetjs/versions/v0.16.8/raw/types/index.d.ts"

This looks to be an error in something related to sheetjs. I also thought maybe the issue was my postprocess file being ./fixweather.js. When I changed this to fixweather.js, I got a new, but similar error:

Error: Command failed: deno run -q --allow-read --allow-write --allow-run --allow-net --allow-env --unstable fixweather.js _data/weather.json
�[0m�[33mWarning�[0m Implicitly using latest version (1.0.0) for https://deno.land/x/url_join/mod.ts

Edit 6/29/2021: Got deno installed locally, ran the same command GitHub is, and I get the same error. So it's got to be something dumb on my part. :)

Hi there! No dumb questions, thanks for posting this.

1. To your first question. Yes, you can test the Actions (somewhat) locally and the Deno script locally. The Deno script is a bit easier to test locally, you can try to:

• Install Deno locally on your computer (https://deno.land/manual/getting_started/installation)
• Create a file with your local script fixweather.js and replace Deno.args[0]; with just the name of a local file
• Run something like deno run -q --allow-read --allow-write --allow-run --allow-net --allow-env --unstable fixweather.js

With GitHub Actions, you can use the command line to trigger workflow runs but you can't fully simulate it locally. There are two approaches:

• Use the GitHub Actions cli: https://github.blog/2021-04-15-work-with-github-actions-in-your-terminal-with-github-cli/
• Use act: https://github.com/nektos/act

2. To your second question. You can solve the error by upgrading the Flat library to https://deno.land/x/flat@0.0.11/mod.ts in your fixweather.js file.
