error: src refspec gh-pages does not match any.

See original GitHub issue

Hiya,

I am running into the following error and I haven’t been able to determine why:

error: src refspec gh-pages does not match any.
error: failed to push some refs to 'https://MitchTalmadge:As provided by GitHub Actions@github.com/MitchTalmadge/CleanTweets.git'
##[error]Docker run failed with exit code 1

The odd part to me is the “As provided by GitHub Actions” found in the URL… I know for certain that the PAT secret I am using does contain a personal access token, not anything like that.

The full build logs are found here.

Here is my workflow:

name: Web Frontend

on: 
  push:
    branches: 
      - master

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1
    - uses: actions/setup-node@v1.1.0
    - name: Install
      run: npm --prefix web install
    - name: Build
      if: success()
      run: npm --prefix web run build
    - name: Deploy
      if: success()
      uses: crazy-max/ghaction-github-pages@v0.1.0
      env:
        GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.GH_PAT }}
      with:
        build_dir: web/dist

The branch does exist in my repo:

Thanks for any suggestions.

Yeah, I realised the issue now. It’s not my project so I wanted to leave it as is but it’s ridiculous to generate it all in the root and publish that so I’m going to modify everything to be in a subfolder. Thanks for all the help 😄

Sorry for the delay. The link is: https://github.com/MitchTalmadge/Portfolio/edit/master/.github/workflows/web-deployment.yml

However you probably won’t be able to edit this unless you fork my repo. Try it on your own workflow and it’ll probably work. When editing in the GitHub website, a marketplace search area appears on the right. Search for your action and you will see the version mismatch. I made a recording to illustrate this:
