On: Issues: not firing when Issue is Created by Another Action #26518
-
|
Super confused by this at the moment. I have an On: Issues: action setup and it’s working exactly as I’d expect on its own. For instance I can make manual or API Issue changes (create,delete,assign,etc.) and the action works as expected. My problem is that I have another action that performs a task and at the end of that task creates an issue. When this issue is created it does /not/ trigger the above mentioned action. My current theory is that events caused from within an action are somehow unavailable to another action but I have no proof of this. Anyone have an explanation as to why this is happening or where I can look for more information? Appreciate any insight, Thanks. |

Hi @anthonyherman , How did you create the issue in the action? By default, GITHUB_TOKEN will be used in the workflow, and it’s by designed that workflow cannot be triggered with GITHUB_TOKEN. Please specify a personal access token as the secrets instead. I created an issue with PAT: https://github.com/weide-zhou/ticket21/runs/591141899?check_suite_focus=true#step:2:2 And it will trigger another workflow (on: issue event): https://github.com/weide-zhou/ticket21/runs/591142017?check_suite_focus=true |
