Hello, When using reuse workflow, we need to mention the branch to reference the yml workflow. is working: This is not working when I use the predefined variable (github.ref_name) to dynamcally ref the branch: uses: Company/myRepo/.github/workflows/wf.yml@${{github.ref_name}} Is someone tried to make this working ? Regards |

Technically yes, the GitHub team is working on making it possible to use reusable workflow files from the current branch: Hey everyone - I’m the product manager for reusable workflows. We’re currently working on the local reference scenario. It should be available in the next couple of weeks. Here’s how it will work: If a reusable workflow is located in the same repository as the caller, you can reference it with a local path: {path}/{filename}. We’ll automatically use the current ref. Here’s an example that shows the two ways you’ll have to reference a reusable workflow: jobs: call-workflow-1: uses: .gi… Which of course implies it’s not possible right now. 😅 |

Calling a workflow in the current repository is possible without specifying a ref now, see: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows#calling-a-reusable-workflow |
