How to test the action?

[thamara]

Hey! I've been using this action for a while, and about one and a half months ago the action started to fail to try to use fsevents in a ubuntu env (it's supposed to try that only on mac). Testings locally on a ubuntu machine I reached the conclusion the problem was that it was trying to run npm install, instead of npm ci. I tried cloning the action repository to validate a fix before submitting a PR, but for some reason, it's not being able to run the new command (it continues to run the version from the original repository). What I did was to change the uses: taichi/actions-package-update@master to point to my repository, but it did not work. Can you please share how this can be tested/validated? Thanks!
