Action fails with output of dist/index.js and without error

[peschee]

I have the following config

      - id: changesets
        uses: changesets/[email protected]
        with:
          publish: npm run release
          version: npm run version
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

and these NPM scripts in my package.json file:

    "release": "is-ci && changeset publish",
    "version": "is-ci && sh scripts/version.sh"

when trying to run the action with changesets available, I'm getting the following output which does not really help me diagnose the issue:

it seems the version script runs succesfully, the action then fails with

/home/runner/work/_actions/changesets/action/v1.4.5/dist/index.js:1

and the compiled output of the action script?

any ideas?

I'm having the same issue. I wonder if it's related to #327

Been debugging this and its a permissions error - the action doesn't have permission to create a pull request in your repository. You can enable this by visiting "Settings -> Actions -> General" and enabling "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests"

I also added the following to the workflow

permissions:
  pull-requests: write
  contents: write

Great catch! I had already activated "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" but was missing the following in my workflow:

pull-requests: write

under permissions. This seems to have fixed my issue.

I only wish the error message would be better in this case.
