Troubleshooting

Action does not commit changes back to the correct branch

Verify the trigger you are using. The default branch is set to github.ref_name. If triggered on a pull request, you may notice this set to pr-number/merge. Set the branch field to github.heaf_ref which is set during pull request triggered workflows.

Action does not have permission to commit/pull_request

If your workflow requires that this action make changes to your branch, ensure the token being used has content: write permissions and the token is being set.

## Defaults to ${{ github.token }}
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.TOKEN }}

If your workflow requires that this action create a pull request (target_branch is set), ensure the token being used has pull_request: write permissions and the token is being set.

# github_token has no default. 
# To use default token use ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
- uses: RedHatProductSecurity/trestle-bot@main
  with:
    markdown_path: "markdown/profiles"
    assemble_model: "profile"
    target_branch: "main"
    github_token: ${{ secrets.TOKEN }}

Note: Using the GitHub token provided with GitHub Actions to commit to a branch will NOT trigger additional workflows.
