The github.actor variable refers to the GitHub user but in your case weblate is not a GitHub user. You can find the specifics of the supported variables here: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/context-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions#github-context

There is an action available called rlespinasse/git-commit-data-action which can extract the data you’re interested in and you can then use that to compare against. I’ve attached an example workflow below that will only release when the commit comes from weblate :slight_smile:

name: Release localization data
on: push
jobs:
Create a job with the id restrict which obtains the committer name
restrict:

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

# A job can expose output to another job

outputs:

# The value of committer is set (from env.GIT...) after the job is done

committer: ${{ env.GIT_COMMIT_COMMITTER_NAME }}

steps:

- uses: actions/checkout@v2

# This is the action that sets the value of env.GIT_COMMIT_COMMITTER_NAME

- uses: rlespinasse/git-commit-data-action@v1.x

release:

# needs creates a dependency between jobs: this job won't run until

# the restrict job is complete

needs: restrict

runs-on: ubuntu-latest

# a job can access the outputs of a job it depends on through needs

if: needs.restrict.outputs.committer == 'weblate'

steps:

- name: Get current date

id: date

run: TZ=Asia/Tokyo echo "::set-output name=date::$(date +'%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M-%S')"
  - uses: actions/checkout@v2

  - name: Create Release
    id: create_release
    uses: actions/create-release@v1
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.BOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    with:
      tag_name: v${{ steps.date.outputs.date }}
      release_name: v${{ steps.date.outputs.date }}

  - uses: actions/setup-python@v2

  - name: Install packages
    run: pip install vdf vpk

  - name: Build zip file
    run: python scripts/build.py

  - name: Upload Release Asset
    uses: actions/upload-release-asset@v1
    env:
      GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.BOT_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    with:
      upload_url: ${{ steps.create_release.outputs.upload_url }}
      asset_path: ./dota2jp.zip
      asset_name: dota2jp.zip
      asset_content_type: application/zip
