Can't push branch and create tag at the same time

[evantahler]

Version of the Action
v4 (@v4)

Describe the bug

Reading the docs, I would expect the following to both push any changes back to the branch AND tag that commit with env.CORE_VERSION. However, what is happening is that the tag is created but the branch is not updated.

Action will create and push a new tag to the remote repository and the defined branch

      - uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
        with:
          commit_message: Updating Packages
          commit_user_name: Grouparoo Bot
          commit_user_email: hello@grouparoo.com
          commit_author: Grouparoo Bot <hello@grouparoo.com>
          branch: ${{ github.head_ref }}
          tagging_message: v${{ env.CORE_VERSION }}

INPUT_PUSH_OPTIONS: 
To https://github.com/grouparoo/app-example
 * [new tag]         v0.2.3 -> v0.2.3

Expected behavior
I would expect both the branch to be pushed with the latest code & the tag to be created.

Thanks for reporting!

As you said, the tag is created: grouparoo/app-examples@1ede8b3

I wonder if this is related to this message GitHub displays :

This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository, and may belong to a fork outside of the repository.
Browse files.

Maybe it's related that the workflow was triggered by workflow_dispatch 🤔

I will try to come up with a failing test for our test suite to ensure that we can reproduce this.

[evantahler]

Thanks!

Here's what I'm doing in the interum grouparoo/app-examples#124

[stefanzweifel]

@evantahler Can confirm that the pushed commits are not correct. Will push a PR with tests and a solution shortly.

Would then be great if you could test those changes in your project, to make sure it really works as expected.

[stefanzweifel]

@evantahler I've opened a PR with a fix in #146

You can use it by updating your workflow like this:

-       - uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4
+       - uses: stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@fixes/145
         with:
           commit_message: Updating Packages
           commit_user_name: Grouparoo Bot
           commit_user_email: hello@grouparoo.com
           commit_author: Grouparoo Bot <hello@grouparoo.com>
           branch: ${{ github.head_ref }}
           tagging_message: v${{ env.CORE_VERSION }}

I will do some additional tests in my own projects. If everything goes well, I will tag a new version next week.

Thanks for checking this out so quickly! It works!

I gave it a try:

• Action: https://github.com/grouparoo/app-example/runs/1995125179?check_suite_focus=true

Produced this commit grouparoo/app-examples@8f4c57d and the tag https://github.com/grouparoo/app-example/releases/tag/v0.2.3

[stefanzweifel]

v4.9.2 has been released which includes the mentioned fix.

I will close this issue now.
Feel free to reopen or open a new issue if you have a problem.

Thanks again for reporting!

[evantahler]

Thank you!

Huh... https://github.com/grouparoo/app-example/actions/runs/622211253

Unable to resolve action stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@4.9.2, unable to find version 4.9.2

[stefanzweifel]

@evantahler Can you try it with stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action@v4.9.2 or just v4?

[evantahler]

OH! I forgot the v. Thanks again!
