Pm2 Process or Namespace BackendAPI not found github actions?

Question

Hi I am just learning and implementing the github action for nodejs project on AWS server. I have executed all the commands. The node app is running and is accessible through the client side.

I have added the Github actions with runner and that is okay without pm2 restart command. Now I have started the server from AWS EC2 and running fine with pm2. But while adding the command of,

pm2 restart name-space

on github workspace file it fails, I am getting

[PM2] Spawning PM2 daemon with pm2_home=/home/ubuntu/.pm2
[PM2] PM2 Successfully daemonized
Use --update-env to update environment variables
Error: RROR] Process or Namespace BackendAPI not found
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

My files are

            - run: |
                touch .env
                echo "${{ secrets.PROD_ENV_FILE }}" > .env
            - run: pm2 restart BackendAPI

what is the issue? anyone know?

Answer 1

Actually there was a minor issue, I needed to run the pm2 command with sudo.

like this

sudo pm2 restart server-name
