v2.15.0

Extend inputs & support GH Enterprise

GH Enterprise is supported by using a variable base URL for GH and the GH REST API.

New inputs:

• acceptable_conclusions: Conclusion states that will not result in errors and a failure.
• fail_fast: Toggle failing as soon as a status check concludes in a state not part of acceptable_conclusions.
• gh_rest_api_base_url: The GH REST API base URL, defaults to https://api.github.com. For more information about this value, see the GH docs.
• post_sleep: Set the seconds the action should sleep after waiting for status checks to conclude.

Changed inputs:

• pre_sleep: Renamed input for the old sleep input.
• sleep: Deprecated. It is now called pre_sleep instead.

v2.14.0

Support GitHub App tokens

Instead of checking the user role, the protected key is expected to be available for all branches, providing support for GitHub App tokens, which do not have a user role per se.
This means if the response for checking a branch's protected key returns anything than a successful response with a protected key of value true, the branch will be considered non-protected, or it will raise, ending the action run due to insufficient rights.

This was brought up and tested by @Shahaed.

v2.10.0

Hot-fix for multi-user vulnerability

As reported by @juris in #114, the implemented fix for a multi-user vulnerability (CVE-2022-24765) left the action without the rights to change or manipulate the checked out files and folders. This release fixes this issue by adding the root workspace directory as a git safe directory.

v2.9.0

Check user (PAT) permissions

The API call to check whether a branch is protected or not has been updated, and can be done with the lowest of permission rights, however, at the same time, if the branch is protected, it is checked whether the user (PAT) has "admin" permission, since this is the only level that allows toggling review-protected branches, as well as getting the information about which checks are currently running.

The README has been updated with information about these permissions needed for certain use cases.

Furthermore, a debug parameter has been added to toggle set -x in the entrypoint.sh script. This is only intended for debugging purposes.

Changelog

v2.9.0 (2022-01-17)

Implemented enhancements:

• Warn or error upon using token without proper rights #94

v2.8.0

From master to main

The default branch of the repository has been changed to main. As has the the default value for the branch parameter.
To keep some backwards compatibility for users who exploit that master was the default branch parameter value up to now, this is a last resort fallback value for the branch parameter, should the main branch not exist on the remote (in the target GitHub repository).

This fallback implementation also leeds to an intrinsic sanity check for whether or not the specified target branch exists on the remote (in the target GitHub repository) at all. Should this not be the case, the action will fail immediately.

IMPORTANT: If you are using master as the default branch for your repository and not defining either of the branch or ref parameters, while also having a main branch in your repository, this action will not work as you expect from this version and onwards. There is an easy fix for this, however; specify the branch parameter to be master:

name: Pushing to protected 'master' branch
uses: CasperWA/push-protected@v2
with:
  token: ${{ secrets.PUSH_TO_PROTECTED_BRANCH }}
  branch: master  # This parameter should be explicitly set, to make sure the `master` branch is the target branch.

Again, if you are in the above situation, but do not have a main branch in your repository, then the action will keep working as it always has. However, it is highly recommended to either change you default branch name to main or explicitly set either the branch or ref parameter.

v2.7.0

New ref argument

A new ref argument has been added. It is mutually exclusive with the branch argument, meaning one cannot specify both. If neither are specified the action has the same behavior as previously, using the default for branch ("master").
The value for ref is a git ref for a branch, e.g., refs/heads/master.

The changelog generation has also been optimized, avoiding vMAJOR versions as well as the ci_test test tag.

v2.7.0 (2021-12-15)

Implemented enhancements:

• Consider adding ref #61

Fixed bugs:

• Finding the "previous version" for adding changelog info to release not working #77

Merged pull requests:

• Add ref argument #79 (CasperWA)
• Exclude ci_test and vMAJOR tags for changelog gen #78 (CasperWA)

v2.6.0

Automation, more dev tools & better console printing

Automation for dependency inclusion and more have been improved with several workflows.
Pylint, Mypy, bandit and safety have been added as CI developer tools for an improved Python code base.
When printing to the console from Python, the buffer is immediately flushed, having the effect that the GitHub Actions console immediately receives the printed statements (configuration overview and status updates) as they happen, instead of printing everything when the Python code exits.
