Error: The head commit for this pull_request event is not ahead of the base commit

[bstuff]

Error output in GitHub action pushed me to create this issue:

./.github/workflows/check-codestyle.yml

name: Check codestyle

on:
  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened
      - synchronize

jobs:
  php-cs-fixer:

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:

      - id: files
        uses: jitterbit/get-changed-files@v1

          mapfile -d ',' -t added_modified_files < <(printf '%s,' '${{ steps.files.outputs.added_modified }}')
          for added_modified_file in "${added_modified_files[@]}"; do
            echo "Do something with this ${added_modified_file}."
            CHANGED_FILES=$(printf "%s\n${added_modified_file}" "$CHANGED_FILES")

          done

          set -x
          // truncated due to nda

Yes this probably should be an option if the author is around.

In the mean time you can ignore the error of the step I believe with github actions

I used another way to get modified files that is not based on tree relation between commits:

          API_URL=$(jq --raw-output .pull_request._links.self.href "$GITHUB_EVENT_PATH")

          FILES=$(curl --request GET \
            --url "$API_URL/files?per_page=100" \
            --header "accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
            --header "authorization: token ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}")
          echo $FILES

          CHANGED_FILES=$(echo $FILES | jq '.[] | select(.status == "added" or .status == "modified") | .filename')

CHANGED_FILES=$(echo $FILES | jq '.[] | select(.status == "added" or .status == "modified") | .filename')

This is working for you?

Running this locally I am getting:

parse error: Invalid string: control characters from U+0000 through U+001F must be escaped at line 23, column 33

IceTDrinker, can you suggest a resource on how to ignore the error?

[bfenton-smugmug]

@merobi-hub I'm guessing they're suggesting something like this? that's what I'm about to try

    - id: files
      name: Get changed files
      uses: jitterbit/get-changed-files@b17fbb00bdc0c0f63fcf166580804b4d2cdc2a42 # v1
      continue-on-error: true
