error: invalid value '.' for '--base <BASE>': Error with base dir `.` : Base must either be a URL (with scheme) or an absolute local path. See `--help` for more information. If you want to resolve root-relative links in local files, also see `--root-dir`.

I have also tried changing --base to --base-url and it's the same (failed run). This used to work fine until the end of Oct 2025 (working run). What has changed?

can you try --root-dir $(pwd)

If this is changed in 2.7.0 then the readme should have the example fixed https://github.com/lycheeverse/lychee-action/blob/master/README.md#passing-arguments-1

@nobkd That worked! successful run

Apologies for the oversight. I fixed the examples in the README.md now.
