I fixed it by using below lines in workflow yml before uses: google-github-actions/setup-gcloud@v0

- run: |
    sudo apt-get install python2.7
    export CLOUDSDK_PYTHON="/usr/bin/python2"

The first thing to do would be to go to the actions and look at the build log and specifically at the failed step (which most likely is going to be function deploying). Look at the error, good chance it is going to tell you what exactly went wrong.

If I had to make an educated guess, I'd say your service account doesn't have enough permissions (mine was setup with two - Cloud Functions Developer role and Service Account User) or the way you deploy the function isn't correct. I see that you are not exporting default credentials when you setup gcloud sdk, is there a reason for that?

Picture worth a thousand words - I've created a simple repo, where I have the most basic (default) python function that I deploy to GCF. Check it out, this should be enough to get you started.

UPDATE:
In case I decide to delete the repo one day, I am going to include the build yaml in here as well:

# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions
name: CI

# Controls when the action will run. 
on:
  # Triggers the workflow on push or pull request events but only for the main branch
  push:

  pull_request:

  # Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
  workflow_dispatch:

  # This workflow contains a single job called "build"
