GitHub Actions blocks NODE_OPTIONS from being set through GITHUB_ENV
Due to security restrictions, GITHUB_ENV cannot be used to set the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable.
GitHub Actions rejected an attempt to set NODE_OPTIONS through GITHUB_ENV because the runner blocks that environment variable for security reasons.
Observed message
Due to security restrictions, GITHUB_ENV cannot be used to set the NODE_OPTIONS environment variable.
Why it happens
- A workflow step writes NODE_OPTIONS into GITHUB_ENV.
- The workflow tries to pass Node runtime flags through the environment file mechanism.
- The runner blocks this variable because of security restrictions.
How to fix it
- Remove NODE_OPTIONS writes from GITHUB_ENV.
- Configure Node runtime behavior using supported workflow or action configuration instead.
- If you only need a value for one command, set it directly in that step's shell invocation rather than persisting it through GITHUB_ENV.
