Actions dont't run in the PR first introducing them

Code to Cloud GitHub Actions
#1

The following sometimes happens to me:

  • There’s a repository with no actions defined, and I want to add one.
  • I fork the repository, add an action that runs on: [push, pull_request]. It runs as expected on my forked repo.
  • I make a PR against the base repository.
  • The action does not run for this PR, despite the pull_request trigger. Here I would expect a pull_request event to be triggered and the action defined in the PR to run.
  • Once the PR is merged, the action is triggered for the following PRs.

Are actions somehow disabled until the first action lands in a repository’s branch?

Imho- while annoying- the PR always runs against the current git. In that your config is not active yet.
