Can anyone please help me through this issue. On App Deployment through Github actions I'm getting this error on building react app setction.

Run yarn build
yarn run v1.22.5
$ react-scripts build
Creating an optimized production build...
Failed to compile.

EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/runner/work/COVID-19-Tracker-App/COVID-19-Tracker-App/node_modules/.cache'


error Command failed with exit code 1.

My workflow contains this and I'm getting this error on "Build React App" section.

Use sudo yarn build instead of yarn build.

You should follow that, use cmd not use run

name: CI
on: [push]
jobs:
  build:
    name: Test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: borales/actions-yarn@v2.0.0
        with:
          cmd: install # will run `yarn install` command
      - uses: borales/actions-yarn@v2.0.0
        with:
          cmd: build # will run `yarn build` command

I had similar problems in github actions, it turned out that some previous step caused a directory to be owned by the root user.

sudo chown $USER invoice-app/build

fixed it.

The ssh debug action was super helpful in finding the problem, I highly recommend it if you're having these kinds of problems.
