Does it require GitHub Token to access to repository files?

Looks like lack of execution permission. Have you tried to

chmod +x ./scripts/moveFiles.sh

and commiting the file?

Hi mittalyashu,

The file should be lack of execution permission. You can add an extra step to check the detail permission of the bash file.

ls -l ./scripts/moveFiles.sh

Two methods:

  1. Add prior step with command below:

    • name: Moving build to artifacts directory
      run: |
      chmod +x ./scripts/moveFiles.sh
      ./scripts/moveFile.sh

  2. Or directly add ‘sh’ before the command:

    - name: Moving build to artifacts directory
    run: |
    sh ./scripts/moveFile.sh

In case it is indeed an executable bit issue, I would suggest updating the executable bit using git instead, so everybody using this repo will have that file executable.

$ git update-index --chmod +x ./scripts/moveFile.sh
