How to limit Github workflow runs for certain users who raise PRs #26575
-
|
I have a question about limiting the Github Action Workflow runs for certain users who raise a PR. Let’s say UserA raises a PR, and UserB approves and merges the PR into the main branch. I was wondering if there was a way for Github actions to check which user raised the PR and then decides whether or not to run a workflow when it is merged into Main. I know there is a context variable with Github.actor in which I can use, but I am unsure if that checks UserB in the situation above, disregarding who raised the PR. |

I was able to find a solution to this. In this case, you can have the build run when a PR is closed, and within an if statemnt have the workflow check if the PR was closed due to a merge, and check who opened the PR.

That would look like this when a PR is merged into develop with the person who opened the PR being octobot:
