ci: fix CLI-from-git setup in test.yml (PER-9772)#589
Merged
Conversation
Same bug as percy/percy-selenium-ruby#39: after 'yarn remove @percy/cli' there is no local percy bin (yarn link symlinks packages, not bins), so 'npx percy --version' downloads the unrelated public 'percy' package and the step exits 1. Mirror percy-capybara: expose $(yarn global bin) on PATH after 'yarn global:link' and call 'percy' directly. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Same bug as percy/percy-selenium-ruby#39, same fix.
Problem
The
Set up @percy/cli from gitstep (workflow_dispatch path, used by the percy/cli SDK regression) always fails: afteryarn remove @percy/clithere is no localpercybin (yarn linksymlinks packages, not bins), sonpx percy --versionfalls back to downloading the unrelated publicpercy@5.0.0package, which prints "Heads up! It looks like @percy/cli is not installed!" and exits 1.Failing job: https://github.com/percy/percy-appium-js/actions/runs/28640658402
Fix
Mirror the working percy-capybara pattern: put
$(yarn global bin)onGITHUB_PATHafteryarn global:link, callpercy --versiondirectly, and make remove/link best-effort.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
