The error message "Process completed with exit code 1" indicates that the command being executed in the Github action has failed. To resolve this issue, you need to identify the command that is causing the error and fix it.

Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

  1. Check the logs: Github actions provide detailed logs of the commands being executed. Check the logs to identify the command that is causing the error.

  2. Test the command locally: Once you have identified the command, try running it locally to see if it works. This will help you identify any issues with the command itself.

  3. Check the environment variables: Make sure that all the environment variables required by the command are set correctly in the Github action.

  4. Check the file paths: Make sure that all the file paths used by the command are correct and accessible in the Github action.

  5. Check the dependencies: Make sure that all the dependencies required by the command are installed and configured correctly in the Github action.

Once you have identified and fixed the issue, commit the changes and re-run the Github action.

Example:

- name: Run tests
  run: |
    npm install
    npm run test
  env:
    NODE_ENV: test
