UPDATE : Does it mean I add uses tag before every name?

No, the error means each step must contain (order doesn’t matter) either a uses attribute (to use a predefined action) or a run attribute (to use a custom script).

There is one step in your workflow that doesn’t follow that rule:

      - name: Change directory
        working-directory: ./cvplay

You can just remove it.

Thank you @weide-zhou , that helped, only one thing gives error now after I specified python versions using setup-python that twine command not found. If all other packages are being installed by default in home directory how can one package install in some other place, I guess command not found was more pertaining to this error message that I get while installing dependencies

WARNING: The script wheel is installed in '/home/runner/.local/bin' which is not on PATH. Consider adding this directory to PATH or, if you prefer to suppress this warning, use --no-warn-script-location. multiple times.

Here is the error I get in actual build and publish part :
/home/runner/work/_temp/ace6d6e16507.sh: line 2: twine: command not found ##[error]Process completed with exit code 127.

and this is how I have specified python version in the workflow :

      uses: actions/setup-python@v2
        with:
          python-version: '3.x'
      - name: Install dependencies

and I do

        run: |
          python -m pip install --upgrade pip
          pip3 install --user setuptools wheel twine

to install packages, I added --user option to overcome this error but it is still there.

Here is the full updated workflow

UPDATE : adding ~/.local/bin/twine worked but there should be a workaround

Thank you that helped.

Hi @ashwin-phadke,

By default, the twine is installed in below location and runner can find it without issue:

pip3 install setuptools wheel twine

If you install in user directory, system cannot find twine command automatically, and you need add system path to fix it.

echo "::add-path::/home/runner/.local/bin"

Doc here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#adding-a-system-path

Thanks

For me it is by default getting installed at /local/bin.
Thanks for the help.

I used docker image. I installed the python packages successfully. But when I ran python manage.py runserver command it says package django not found.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘django’ or rather not finding installed packages.
