"Unknown options: /" Error message

[D-sense]

Hi.

I am getting this error message in my build, specifically at the point of using jakejarvis/s3-sync-action@master:

Unknown options: /

This is the script I am using for the "build" job:

build:
name: Build
runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2

- name: Setup Go
  uses: actions/setup-go@v2
  with:
    go-version: '1.14.0'

- name: Install dependencies
  run: |
    go version
    go get -u golang.org/x/lint/golint

# checks out our code locally so we can work with the files
- name: Run build
  run: go build -o bin/main

This is the script I am using for the "deploy" job:

deploy:
name: Deploy
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
needs: [build]
if: ${{ github.ref == 'refs/heads/main' && github.event_name == 'push' }}
steps:
- uses: jakejarvis/s3-sync-action@master
with:
args: --acl public-read --follow-symlinks --delete --exclude '.git/*'
env:
AWS_S3_BUCKET: ${{ secrets.AWS_S3_BUCKET }}
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
AWS_REGION: 'us-east-1' # optional: defaults to us-east-1
SOURCE_DIR: 'bin/main' # optional: defaults to entire repository

Thanks in advance!

I am getting the same error after attempting to build and deploy a react app:

jobs:
  deploy-production:
    name: Deploy Production
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/production'

        uses: actions/setup-node@v1
        with:

      # Install & Build
      - name: Yarn Install
        run: yarn install
      - name: Yarn Build
        run: NODE_ENV=production CI="" yarn build

      # Deploy & Activate!
      - name: Deploy to S3

Similar error with the following:

- name: Upload non-html
      uses: jakejarvis/s3-sync-action@master
      with:
        args: --acl public-read --follow-symlinks --delete --include "*" --exclude "*.html"
      env:
        AWS_S3_BUCKET: 'canon-press'
        AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID: ${{ secrets.AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID }}
        AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: ${{ secrets.AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY }}
        SOURCE_DIR: 'site/public'

Rather than the "/" in "Unknown options: /", it shows a comma separated list of all the folders in the root folder.

@SethThoburn always use ' ' in the args. Never use " ". Not sure if it's this, but I had some issues using double quotes.

This fixed fixed the error for me 🤦🏼

Fixed the problem for me. Someone should get a PR up for this cough cough
