questions regarding the build process

[mtoensing]

Hi! Thank you very much for this GitHub action! This streamlined my process to deploy my SimpleTOC Plug-In: https://github.com/mtoensing/simpletoc/blob/master/.github/workflows/deploy.yml

I use the "build" feature and have a few questions. When I use

Run npm install @wordpress/scripts --save-dev

I get these warnings and the process pauses for a few seconds. Is this normal and intended? Can I remove the warnings somehow?

Run npm install @wordpress/scripts --save-dev
npm WARN ERESOLVE overriding peer dependency
npm WARN While resolving: react-dates@21.8.0
npm WARN Found: react@17.0.2

My other question is: Is the build process just for validation, or is it used for the commit to svn? So if I use "npm start" locally will the resulting JavaScript be used or the compiled script from your action?

Thank you! =)

Hi, @mtoensing this might be a mismatch of node versions causing the local node version and GitHub action node version.
You can look at this Node action and add this block action before your build process.

Here is a sample.

      - name: Use Node.js 12.1.0
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: 12.1.0
