Failing to install in Github Actions

[FluidSense]

Hello 👋

I am trying to add elm-format as a dependency to a project, but the step npm ci of my Github Action fails on a relatively simple setup.

npm ERR! -- ERROR -----------------------------------------------------------------------
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! I support your platform, but I could not find the binary package (@avh4/elm-format-linux-x64) for it!
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! This can happen if you use the "--omit=optional" (or "--no-optional") npm flag.
npm ERR! The "optionalDependencies" package.json feature is used by elm-format to install the correct
npm ERR! binary executable for your current platform. Remove that flag to use elm-format.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! This can also happen if the "node_modules" folder was copied between two operating systems
npm ERR! that need different binaries - including "virtual" operating systems like Docker and WSL.
npm ERR! If so, try installing with npm rather than copying "node_modules".
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! NOTE: You can avoid npm entirely by downloading directly from:
npm ERR! https://github.com/avh4/elm-format/releases/tag/0.8.7
npm ERR! All this package does is distributing a file from there.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The workflow file is as little as this:

name: Continuous Integration

on:
  push:
    branches: [ main ]
  pull_request:
    branches: [ main ]

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    strategy:
      matrix:
        node-version: [16.x]

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    - name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
      uses: actions/setup-node@v2
      with:
        node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
        cache: 'npm'
    - run: npm ci
    - run: npm run build
    - run: npm test
    ```
    
Have I missed something obvious? I tried searching through previous issues, but I could not find anyone with a similar problem.

Any help appreciated!

Your workflow file seems to work for me: lydell/elm-github-actions-test#1

Yeah, I haven't heard of this before. Personally I'd maybe be looking at: - is there something bad in the package-lock.json? Maybe as a test make a clean updated one `rm package-lock.json; npm install` and see if that helps anything? - maybe there's something bad in the cache -- can you clear the cache or run a build without the cache? - are you using github's hosted runners, or do you have your own runners? if the latter, maybe something is weird on the runners themselves?

Thanks for the help! Probably something to do with the package-lock as you suggest. I set my local node to same version as the runner and recreated the package-lock. That seemed to fix it!
