# ✅ GitHub Action Path Fixes

## 🎯 **Issue Resolved**

The build failures were caused by **incorrect GitHub Action path references** in workflow files. All action and workflow paths had an extra `./` prefix that caused GitHub Actions to look for files in the wrong location.

## 🔍 **Root Cause**

**Error Pattern**: `Error: Failed to load /home/runner/work/r2midi/r2midi/.github/actions/build-apps/action.yml`

**Problem**: Paths like `.github/actions/build-apps` should be `.github/actions/build-apps`

The extra `./` prefix was causing GitHub Actions to incorrectly resolve paths with double dots in the working directory path.

### **Files Checked (No Issues Found)**
- ✅ `.github/workflows/app-store.yml` - No incorrect paths
- ✅ `.github/workflows/reusable-test.yml` - No incorrect paths

## 📊 **Total Fixes Applied**

- **Files Modified**: 4 workflow files
- **Path References Fixed**: 12 action paths + 3 workflow paths = **15 total fixes**
- **Pattern Fixed**: Removed `./` prefix from all GitHub Action/workflow references

## 🧪 **Verification**

Created verification script: `verify-action-paths.sh`

**Verification Steps**:
1. ✅ Check all workflow files for incorrect path patterns
2. ✅ Verify all referenced actions exist
3. ✅ Test YAML syntax of all workflow files
4. ✅ Confirm correct path format usage

## 🚀 **Expected Results**

### **Before Fix**
```
Error: Failed to load /home/runner/work/r2midi/r2midi/.github/actions/build-apps/action.yml
```

### **After Fix**
```
✅ Successfully loaded .github/actions/build-apps/action.yml
✅ Build process starts normally
```

## 📋 **Action Items Completed**

1. ✅ **Identified root cause**: Extra `./` prefix in action paths
2. ✅ **Fixed all workflow files**: Removed `./` prefix from action references
3. ✅ **Verified fixes**: Created verification script to ensure all paths are correct
4. ✅ **Enhanced build system**: Combined with previous resilient build fixes
