I'm attempting to create a GHA workflow and I am getting an error that I'm unsure how to fix as I've implemented this in similar environments before.

I don't understand quite where I'm going wrong here but when I merged my actions branch and I attempted to get it to work, I received the following message:
error parsing called workflow "./.github/workflows/build.yml": workflow is not reusable as it is missing a `on.workflow_call` trigger
Below is my build file for reference.

If you want to call another workflow (reusable workflow), the workflow you're calling needs to have the trigger workflow_call
.
Therefore, in order to resolve your error, change build.yml to:
name: Build
on:
workflow_call:
pull_request:
# etc..
