Error when running action: `Cannot find module '@actions/core`

I was trying out issue-labeler at the current HEAD commit (772f647), but I get this error:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:818
  throw err;

The problem may be that JavaScript Actions are supposed to have the node_modules directory checked in, as documented here. Note also that the doc recommends checking in package-lock.json.

I'm not sure why this worked before without the node_modules directory checked in 🤷

The GitHub Action is not working at all cause of this.
Did there is workaround existing ?

Please use one of the release branches rather than the head branch as each of those include the node_modules.
