GitHub CI: Push React build to another repo - react-native

Question

I've set a GitHub action that make a build of my React application.
I need that build to be pushed to another repo that I'm using to keep track of the builds.
This is the action that is actually running:
on:
push:
branches: [master]
jobs:
build:
name: create-package
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
node-version: [14]
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- uses: actions/setup-node#v2
name: Use Node.js 14
with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
#- name: Install dependencies
- run: npm ci
- run: npm run build --if-present
env:
CI: false
copy:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: build
steps:
- name: Copy to another repo
uses: andstor/copycat-action#v3
with:
personal_token: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN_GITHUB }}
src_path: build
dst_path: /.
dst_owner: federico-arona
dst_repo_name: test-build
dst_branch: main
By the way when the action run the copy job it fails with the following message:
cp: can't stat 'origin-repo/build': No such file or directory
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

For anyone that needs an answer on this.
The problem was related to the fact that I was using two different jobs, one to run the build and one to copy that build to another repo.
This won't work because each job has its own runner and its own file system, meaning that the data aren't shared between jobs.
To avoid this problem I made all on in one job. Another solution is to pass the build between jobs as artifact:
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/guides/storing-workflow-data-as-artifacts#passing-data-between-jobs-in-a-workflow
Another problem was related to the copy action I was using. For some reason that action didn't find the build directory, probably because its assuming a different working directory. I switched to another action.
Here's the final result:
on:
push:
branches: [master]
jobs:
build:
name: create-package
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
strategy:
matrix:
node-version: [14]
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- uses: actions/setup-node#v2
name: Use Node.js 14
with:
node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
- run: npm ci
- run: npm run build --if-present
env:
CI: false
- run: ls
- name: Copy to another repo
uses: andstor/copycat-action#v3
with:
personal_token: ${{ secrets.API_TOKEN_GITHUB }}
src_path: build
dst_path: /.
dst_owner: federico-arona
dst_repo_name: test-build
dst_branch: main
