GitHub Actions Not Run on PR Generated by GitHub Actions

[osterman]

I’ve found a dozen or more posts talking about GitHub Actions not running on forks or other kinds of PRs. That’s not my problem. 

TL;DR: PR created by github-actions bot  does not trigger PR workflows. PR created by a human does trigger PR workflows.

1. I have an auto-update workflow: https://github.com/cloudposse/packages/tree/master/.github/workflows which updates the packages for a repository

2. It creates a new PR if there were any changes (in a local branch)

3. It works and creates a PR like this one: Automated Package Updates cloudposse/packages#263

4. But the workflows for labeling the PR and auto-assigning the PR are not run

Should this be this possible? =)

Thanks!

Looks like you are using the create-pull-request action I created. If you check the README there is a note about this.

Note : If you want pull requests created by this action to trigger an on: pull_request workflow then you must use a Personal Access Token instead of the default GITHUB_TOKEN. See this issue for further details.

is there are the way to force the job to retrigger again after an edit or something to that PR?

You can close and reopen it to trigger the actions

Thanks, Peter! Yes, using your action (forked for security). I missed that note. Good looking out.
