GitHub action fails on npm ci - github

Question

I have git action to run prettier(Code formatter). Below is the format.yml file of git action.
name: Format code with prettier
on:
push:
branches-ignore:
- master
jobs:
format:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout#v2
# Install NPM dependencies, cache them correctly
- name: Run prettier
run: |
npm ci
npm run prettier-check
The error that I am getting is listed below.
npm WARN old lockfile
npm WARN old lockfile The package-lock.json file was created with an old version of npm,
npm WARN old lockfile so supplemental metadata must be fetched from the registry.
npm WARN old lockfile
npm WARN old lockfile This is a one-time fix-up, please be patient...

Git action yml file used to work before. I haven't changed any version/package-lock file. Still, it is failing. Can anyone suggest a solution from the error log?

Answer 1

It seems you are running different node version in your githubAction.
Set up the same node version that you use local(e.g. 14) before to run npm ci:
- uses: actions/setup-node#v2
with:
node-version: '14'
- name: Run prettier
run: |
npm ci
npm run prettier-check
