Workflow Configuration

Discussion Details

Hello, I have possibly found a bug in the action/workflow dispatching.
I have a workflow file which includes three jobs. The "linting" and "audit" jobs should only run when the "production" branch is not included, either on base nor head ref. Only the "audit-dev" job should run. (for PR, workflow_dispatch has different rules)

The PR which is currently "producing" this error is: nkaaf/pyds-stubs#18
The workflow file of the PR:

• https://github.com/nkaaf/pyds-stubs/blob/ca1b4a8c909fa12922f4b3aa28968a7280292f72/.github/workflows/audit.yml
• https://github.com/nkaaf/pyds-stubs/actions/runs/16823671354/workflow?pr=18

I have set Debug information in the linting output to double check my condition. In the best case the "linting" job should not run, but it runs and fails (like the audit job).

The Action can be found here: https://github.com/nkaaf/pyds-stubs/actions/runs/16823671354/job/47655369482?pr=18

I currently don't see any configuration errors in my workflow file, so it could be a bug in the action dispatch mechanism (?!)
But if i should reconfigure the workflow, please make a suggestion :)

Because of internal rework, this error is not applicable anymore to my repository. But the links are still valid and the bug can still persist.
