@meju7015 - Hm, seems like a relative path is accepted per the documentation.

All that is happening here is that it's trying to read the file system and failing to load the path. Are you able to load files from outside the .github directory?

Try to checkout the repository at the beginning of Action

- name: Checkout
  uses: actions/checkout@v2

I had a similar problem, the issue was calling payload-file-path before I did a checkout of the repo like @luafanti said. Swapping the order of the operations fixed my issue
