Current behavior

My tests are failing with the following error when executing in github action (these pass on local execution):

CypressError: cy.selectFile("/home/runner/work/qa-cypress/qa-cypress/cypress/downloads/PersonalTaxReturn.jpg") failed because the file does not exist at the following path:

/home/runner/work/qa-cypress/qa-cypress/cypress/downloads/PersonalTaxReturn.jpg

I have verified that this file exists in my github runner image:
Run echo "Absolute path to cypress/downloads:"
Absolute path to cypress/downloads:

/home/runner/work/qa-cypress/qa-cypress/cypress/downloads

Please correct this issue.

Desired behavior

cy.selectFile() works in github action the same as in local exeuction

Test code to reproduce

 it.only("can add note to uploaded file", () => {
    const filePath = `${Cypress.config("fileServerFolder")}/cypress/downloads/PersonalTaxReturn.jpg`;
    cy.get("input[type=file]").first().selectFile(filePath, {
      force: true,
    }); // force: true is needed to bypass the hidden input field
    cy.wait(1000); // wait for the file to upload
    
    // clean up the uploaded file by removing it
    cy.get(removeIcon).contains(localizedString("Remove")).click();
    cy.wait(2000);
    // Verify that all remove buttons are gone
    cy.get(removeIcon).contains(localizedString("Remove")).should("not.exist");
  });
