Hi 👋t2:.

I’ve been playing around with the workflow_run event, and came across somewhat of an issue/unexpected behaviour.

Given a workflow like this:

name: "workflow run webhook"
on:

workflow_run:

workflows: ["do something"]

types:

- requested

- completed
jobs:

job:

name: Handle workflow_run webhook

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

steps:

- run: echo "${{ toJson(github.event) }}"

Expected:
The above workflow, will only run when another workflow (named “do something”), will be “requested” or “completed”.

Assuming a workflow run named “do something” has being requested, there will be two additional workflow runs triggered, one for the “requested” phase, and another one for the “completed” phase.

Unexpected:
When re-running the completed workflow (the one named “do something”) I would expect another two workflow runs to be triggered, one for the “requested” phase, and another for the “completed” phase, and yet, only one workflow triggered, and its the one for the “completed” phase.

So, to summarise, re-running a workflow, I would expect two additional workflow runs, and not just one.

P.S
The above is also relevant when registering for a “workflow_run” webhook.
I’ve also setup repo to demo the above scenario:
