[BUG] Fails to deploy NextJS app

I’m able to deploy my NextJS app directly (firebase deploy), however when I deploy via a PR or Merge action I get an error.

My repo is structured like so (the next app is in /frontend)

• firebase.json
• .github/workflows/firebase-hosting-merge.yml
• frontend/pages
• functions

My firebase.json is:

{
  "functions": {
    "source": "functions"
  },
  "hosting": {
    "source": "frontend",
    "ignore": ["firebase.json", "**/.*", "**/node_modules/**"]
  }
}

Action config

name: Deploy to Firebase Hosting on PR
'on': pull_request
jobs:
  build_and_preview:
    if: '${{ github.event.pull_request.head.repo.full_name == github.repository }}'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: FirebaseExtended/action-hosting-deploy@v0
        with:
          repoToken: '${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}'
          firebaseServiceAccount: '${{ secrets.FIREBASE_SERVICE_ACCOUNT_SDXCRYPTO_ALGOVERA }}'
          projectId: sdxcrypto-algovera

Error message

Error: Cannot deploy a web framework to hosting because the experiment webframeworks is not enabled. To enable webframeworks run firebase experiments:enable webframeworks

The process ‘/usr/local/bin/npx’ failed with exit code 1

Expected behavior

Deploys sucessfully. I have enabled the webframeworks experiment and re-tried but to no avail.

Actual behavior

Fails to deploy.

I’m experiencing the same issue. I tried adding the installation command for firebase to the action and manually enabling experiment webframeworks but it all still fails. Is there something that can be done to automatically enable this with actions?

I see there are 2 potential fixes submitted but @FirebaseExtended hasn’t accepted either one. Fix # 1 Fix # 2
