Hmm, this looks like something that might arise if your internet connection suddenly dropped out? Has this happened more than once?

[shivshankardayal]

Yes, it is repeating. I would have tried like 20 times but it never works.

Looks like the latest version of wasm-opt has been incorrectly packaged and the GitHub API doesn't know its version. Working on a fix now. In the meantime, use perseus --wasm-opt-version version_118 <rest-of-command>. You should only need to do this once, after that it should be cached, though if the problem comes up again try that.

Fixed this in the latest commit, will wait for tests to pass and then cut a new release ASAP, thanks for opening an issue on this! (Very easy to miss these: Actions caching means tool installations only get tested sometimes I think, and otherwise they stay cached, so only new users spot these!)

For reference: fix was to use tag_name in GitHub's releases API rather than name (which apparently doesn't get set sometimes).
