This will trigger CI jobs automatically when pull-request is created/updated. Until now we used only push event, as it was enough to handle all automatic jobs from repository maintainers, but this does not work for pull requests triggered by external collaborators. We can't simply turn on new event, as it results in duplicate jobs when PR is created by maintainer, so additional "if" filter is needed to prevent duplicates from running. GitHub still shows "empty jobs" in some parts of UI, but at least they don't run and fight for resources. Unfortunately, GitHub Actions "if" functionality is fairly limited at the moment: - it does not work on workflows, only specific jobs - it does not support array literals (that's why maintainer list is passed as a string) - it can't access workflow env variables (that's why maintainer list is duplicated) - it does not support regular expressions - seems to have problem with using unary "!" operator and nested boolean expressions… - … and official documentation is pretty misleading by suggesting it can do many of those things :( that's why this "if" line looks like it does and is duplicated in every workflow. |
