Github actions Workflow not running when opening a Pull Request-CodePudding

I have the following trigger

on:
  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened
    branches:
      - 'foobranch'
  issue_comment:
    types:
      - created

When opening a PR targeting foobranch, the workflow does not run.

Is it because the workflow file does not exist on any other branch than the default? (master) ?

CodePudding user response：

Yes, GitHub uses the sources of the associated pull request so you most likely need to rebase the branch or cherry-pick the workflow to your pull request branch.

GitHub documentation here:

GitHub searches the .github/workflows directory in your repository for workflow files that are present in the associated commit SHA or Git ref of the event.
