Ci build fails for xblock

[Talha-Rizwan]

Hi,
I recently created an openedx xblock using the edx-cookiecutter template but turns out the github actions ci.yml is failing at this stage

- name: Create Build
      run: |
        rm -rf /tmp/myxblock-xblock
        XBLOCK=$(pwd) && cd /tmp/ && echo -e '\n\n\n\n\n' | cookiecutter $XBLOCK
        cd /tmp/myxblock-xblock && make help && pip install -e .
        cd /tmp/myxblock-xblock && make dev.build

Error:

-> Run rm -rf /tmp/myxblock-xblock
/home/runner/work/_temp/54fcbeee-2c42-4109-b7e4-76c22b1b61fa.sh: line 2: cookiecutter: command not found
Error: Process completed with exit code 127.

I also installed the cookiecutter in the ci but the build still failed with the following error:

A valid repository for "/home/runner/work/openedx-cmi5-xblock/openedx-cmi5-xblock" could not be found in the following locations:
/home/runner/work/openedx-cmi5-xblock/openedx-cmi5-xblock
/home/runner/work/openedx-cmi5-xblock/openedx-cmi5-xblock
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

This is happening from the very first commit since the template xblock got created and make upgrade didn’t help either.

Once you eliminate this Build step and perform certain necessary linting corrections in the template xblock, the workflow passes all the checks.
