I’m running a GitHub action to download images from an api every hour, I used the nasa image example as the template. However sometimes the run fails with this error, what could be the issue?
here’s the failed run:

Hi there! Thanks for reporting this. Could you try upgrading your version of the postprocessing library to
0.0.13So here: https://github.com/weirdyang/causeway-image/blob/main/post-process.js#L4
import { readImageFromURL, readJSON, writeImage } from 'https://deno.land/x/flat@0.0.13/mod.ts';And let us know if the error still happens for you?
updating version as advised
weirdyang commentedon Jan 25, 2022
Still failed

Happening to me as well! Also on
0.0.13https://github.com/dalanmiller/electricity/blob/master/postprocess.ts#L71

I did some digging here - looks like these errors are very intermittent and fail while downloading different modules required for the xlsx import from jspm.
For example, this Action fails on https://jspm.dev/npm:@jspm/core@2/nodelibs/process
https://github.com/weirdyang/causeway-image/runs/4997125928?check_suite_focus=true
but this Action fails on https://jspm.dev/npm:@jspm/core@2/nodelibs/buffer
https://github.com/weirdyang/causeway-image/runs/4998890994?check_suite_focus=true
One other thing I noticed is that the errors appear to start ~Jan 10th, looking through the history on your repo, @dalanmiller. Looks like there was an xlsx release around the same time:
I pinned the xlsx import to v0.17.4
https://deno.land/x/flat@0.0.14/src/xlsx.ts#L1
I'm not positive that this will fix the error, but it might! Try bumping your flat import to 0.0.14, and we can revisit if the errors are still showing up.

Thanks for investigating @Wattenberger - I bumped to
0.0.14and I'm still getting the same issue it seems.Has anything changed to the Deno runtime behind the scenes?

Edit:
But oddly, it's intermittent, this recent run succeeded:

weirdyang commentedon Feb 1, 2022
Thanks, will try and report back. Fwiw I noticed the examples are also failing intermittently https://github.com/githubocto/flat-demo-bitcoin-price/actions/runs/1778265780
irealva commentedon Feb 11, 2022
This might have been because we hadn't updated the
flat-demo-bitcoin-priceto use0.0.14but we just did to see what happens.irealva commentedon Feb 11, 2022
Following-up @dalanmiller it doesn't seem like your action has failed in a while, is that correct ?https://github.com/dalanmiller/electricity/actions?
irealva commentedon Feb 11, 2022
Also will leave a comment to follow this issue which Amelia found: SheetJS/sheetjs#2217
weirdyang commentedon Feb 11, 2022
Just bumped to 14, fwiw didn’t get any errors the past few days with 13
Bumping flat npm package to 0.0.14
andmos commentedon Feb 14, 2022
I had the some error all of a sudden, looks like a bump to
0.0.14did the trick.Wattenberger commentedon Feb 14, 2022
Thanks for the reports y'all! Looks like runs have stopped intermittently failing 🙌 Please let us know if it starts happening again, and hopefully we can stop using jsnpm for Sheetjs soon
bumping flat to 0.0.14
