What i’m looking to do is that when Dependabot creates PR’s to update dependencies, it will do the following:

1. Run the NodeCI workflow defined as such

   name: Node CI

   on:
   pull_request:
   types: [opened, synchronize, ready_for_review, review_requested, reopened]
   branches:
   - master

   jobs:
   build:
   name: Build with Node.js
   if: github.base_ref == ‘master’ && (github.actor == ‘dependabot[bot]’ || github.actor == ‘dependabot-preview[bot]’)
   runs-on: ubuntu-latest
   timeout-minutes: 10
   strategy:
   matrix:
   node-version: [8.x, 10.x, 12.x]
   steps:
   - name: Dump GitHub context
   env:
   GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}
   run: echo “$GITHUB_CONTEXT”

      - name: Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@v1
   
   
   name: Use Node.js ${{ matrix.node-version }}
   
   uses: actions/setup-node@v1
   
   with:
   
   node-version: ${{ matrix.node-version }}
   
   
   name: NPM install, build, and test
   
   run: |
   
   npm ci
   
   npm run build --if-present
   
   npm test
   
   env:
   
   CI: true
   
   

approve:
name: Approve pull request
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 10
needs: build
steps:
- uses: hmarr/auto-approve-action@v2.0.0
with:
github-token: ‘${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}’

merge:
name: Merge pull request
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
timeout-minutes: 10
needs: approve
steps:
- name: Merge
uses: actions/github-script@0.8.0
with:
script: |
github.pulls.merge({
owner: context.payload.repository.owner.login,
repo: context.payload.repository.name,
pull_number: context.payload.pull_request.number
})
github-token: ‘${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}’

2. Once the NodeCI Workflow approves the PR (bypasses the need to have a reviewer approve it), and merges the PR, I have another workflow, that deploys the PR to Cloudflare Workers. That Deploy workflow look’s like the following.

   name: Deploy to Cloudflare Workers

   on:
   pull_request:
   types: [closed]
   branches:
   - master

   env:
   NODE_VERSION: 12.x

   jobs:
   deploy:
   name: Deploy
   runs-on: ubuntu-latest
   timeout-minutes: 10
   steps:
   - name: Dump GitHub context
   env:
   GITHUB_CONTEXT: ${{ toJson(github) }}
   run: echo “$GITHUB_CONTEXT”

      - name: Checkout repo
        uses: actions/checkout@master
   
   
   name: Setup Node.js ${{ env.NODE_VERSION }}
   
   uses: actions/setup-node@v1.4.0
   
   with:
   
   node-version: ${{ env.NODE_VERSION }}
   
   
   name: Cache node modules
   
   uses: actions/cache@v1
   
   env:
   
   cache-name: cache-node-modules
   
   with:
   
   path: ~/.npm
   
   key: ${{ runner.os }}-build-${{ env.cache-name }}-${{ hashFiles('**/package-lock.json') }}
   
   restore-keys: |
   
   ${{ runner.os }}-build-${{ env.cache-name }}-
   
   ${{ runner.os }}-build-
   
   ${{ runner.os }}-
   
   
   name: Install NextJS dependencies
   
   run: npm ci
   
   
   name: Build NextJS application
   
   run: npm run build
   
   
   name: Export NextJS application
   
   run: npm run export
   
   
   name: Publish to Cloudflare Workers
   
   uses: cloudflare/wrangler-action@1.1.0
   
   if: github.event_name == 'closed'
   
   with:
   
   apiToken: ${{ secrets.CF_API_TOKEN }}
   
   environment: 'production'
   
   
   name: Cleanup @cloudflare/wrangler data
   
   continue-on-error: true
   
   run: sudo rm -rf ~/.wrangler .wrangler ~/.config .config ~/configstore configstore
   
   

I assume that after the NodeCI workflow merges (closes) the PR… that because I defined:

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [closed]
    branches:
      - master

It will run my Deploy workflow? 

However the issue is that it is not. It runs the NodeCI workflow just fine, however the Deploy workflow is never triggered, even after the Dependabot PR is approved/merged. Does anyone have any ideas what i’m doing wrong?
