如何在推送到另一个分支时触发 Github Actions 工作流？

Question

When I push some code to master , one workflow file runs. This file builds the artifacts and pushes the code to another branch production .

Another workflow file, which looks like the following, is set to run when any push happens to production .

name: Deploy

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - production

jobs:

# Do something

  deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@master

But this workflow file is never run. I expect that when the workflow file, listening to push event on master, is done, this file should run as the previous file pushes code to production branch. How do I make sure that this happens?

Answer 1

You need to use a personal access token (PAT) for pushing the code in your workflow instead of the default GITHUB_TOKEN :

Note: You cannot trigger new workflow runs using the GITHUB_TOKEN

For example, if a workflow run pushes code using the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN , a new workflow will not run even when the repository contains a workflow configured to run when push events occur.

If you would like to trigger a workflow from a workflow run, you can trigger the event using a personal access token. You'll need to create a personal access token and store it as a secret.

name: Push to master

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    # the checkout action persists the passed credentials by default
    # subsequent git commands will pick them up automatically
    - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      with:
        token: ${{secrets.PAT}}
    - run: |
        # do something
        git push
