Hi folks! As per the title, I'm having some issues with getting the Github Actions to run properly. I'm basically just using the yaml file provided in the documentation.
The problem is that the feedback I'm getting is not helping me particularly much. All the previous steps: installing dependencies, installing browsers... they all go through just fine and I'm told that until about a month or 2 ago ( I joined recently ) their CI actually worked. Eventually they started having issues with the tests and, due to lack of resources, just commented out the github actions script, continued working on the app and ran the automation manually, until i joined.
Now that I'm trying to bring the automation back though... I'm getting this error even before the tests can actually run, previously the script would at least run and then some specific tests would fail, now it doesn't even get to that point as per the error pasted below. I'll also paste the yaml file for reference though there doesn't seem to be anything particularly meaningful that has been changed there.
Any help is deeply appreciated.

This thread is trying to answer question "What is causing the error message in Github Actions and how can it be resolved?"
