Deploy through github workflow fails only for custom env

I've followed [this guide](https://vercel.com/guides/how-can-i-use-github-actions-with-vercel) to deploy any commit to my new custom env `test`. Here is my workflow: ```yml name: Vercel Test Deployment on: push: branches-ignore: - main jobs: Deploy-Test: runs-on: ubuntu-latest environment: Preview env: VERCEL_ORG_ID: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_ORG_ID }} VERCEL_PROJECT_ID: ${{ secrets.VERCEL_PROJECT_ID }} STRIPE_SECRET_KEY: ${{ secrets.STRIPE_SECRET_KEY }} STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET: ${{ secrets.STRIPE_WEBHOOK_SECRET }} NEXT_TELEMETRY_DISABLED: 1 ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_COREPACK: 1 NODE_OPTIONS: '--max-old-space-size=8192' REDIS_URL: ${{ secrets.REDIS_URL }} SKIP_POSTBUILD: true steps: - uses: actions/checkout@v2 - name: Install Vercel CLI run: npm install --global vercel@latest - name: Pull Vercel Environment Information run: vercel pull --yes --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }} - name: Build Project Artifacts run: vercel build --environment=test --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }} - name: Deploy Project Artifacts to Vercel run: vercel deploy --prebuilt --token=${{ secrets.VERCEL_TOKEN }} ``` Running this workflow, I get a build error: ```bash Generating static pages (0/38) ...
