I’ve not been able to release a game for a week or so, although I used to be able to do so. The game used to work and other games still publish fine. The problem seems to be with installing makecode in the gh action, rather than with the game itself. I’ve been using vscode to do my development, so I’m wondering if it has changed anything.

Gh action seems the same as in other functional games: [https://github.com/bil-bas/crawly-dungeon-mca/blob/main/.github/workflows/makecode.yml](https://github.com/bil-bas/crawly-dungeon-mca/blob/main/.github/workflows/makecode.yml)

Also pxt config: [https://github.com/bil-bas/crawly-dungeon-mca/blob/main/pxt.json](https://github.com/bil-bas/crawly-dungeon-mca/blob/main/pxt.json)
