My workflow has been disabled even if I use this action

[julienloizelet]

Hi,

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug ?

Every week, I run the v2 version of this action using a simple "Keep Alive" action: https://github.com/julienloizelet/ddev-tools/actions/workflows/keepalive.yml

I use it so that another "test" action is not disabled:

https://github.com/julienloizelet/ddev-tools/actions/workflows/tests.yml

But, it has been disabled today:

I don't see any error in the Keep Alive workflow:

But despite this, the "test" action has been deactivated.

Do you have an idea of what could be the reason of this behavior ?

Thanks !

I just found this release note: https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/keepalive-workflow/releases/tag/2.0.1
and I think I've found the cause of my problem.

As I started using this action with the dummy commit of v1, it was already working to have a separate "keep alive" workflow: all scheduled workflows were kept alive as a new commit was detected.

With the v2, if we use a separate "keep alive" workflow, we have to specify which workflow we want to keep active ?

Please let me know if I'm right. If it is correct, maybe it could useful to update this part of the README: https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/keepalive-workflow/?tab=readme-ov-file#migrating-from-v1-to-v2
(because a separate workflow file worked with the v1 and migrating to v2 involves managing a workflow_files input)

Thanks

@julienloizelet yes you are right. With v2 you need to add it to every individual workflows you want to keep alive. Or you can also simply use workflow_files to manually specify multiple workflows you need to keepalive.

Check the example https://github.com/gautamkrishnar/keepalive-workflow?tab=readme-ov-file#advanced-use-cases

name: Keepalive Workflow
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 0 * * *"
permissions:
  actions: write
jobs:
  cronjob-based-github-action:
    name: Keepalive Workflow
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: gautamkrishnar/keepalive-workflow@v2
        with:
          workflow_files: "build1.yml, build2.yml"
          time_elapsed: "0"
