@PProfizi I'm not sure what other configuration is needed. See the below error from the doc build:

@ansjhajjar do you know why the action clones the dpf github repo? Woudln't it be more efficient to get the files it needs?

Hello @koubaa, the action clones the branch it needs based on the input parameters given, and clones with depth=1. It does need everything in the branch.
