@TimonVS FYI

Thanks for the contribution!

I've been thinking about adding outputs, which would allow you to compose actions to get this functionality for free basically.

What are your thoughts on this? Would you be interested in contributing this?

Example:

name: PR Labeler
on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened]
    
permissions:
  contents: read

jobs:
  pr-labeler:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read # for TimonVS/pr-labeler-action to read config
      pull-requests: write # for TimonVS/pr-labeler-action to add labels in PR
    steps:
      - uses: TimonVS/pr-labeler-action@v4
        id: pr-labeler
        with:
          configuration-path: .github/pr-labeler.yml # optional, .github/pr-labeler.yml is the default value
      - uses: actions/github-script@v6
        if: ${{ fromJSON(steps.pr-labeler.outputs.new-labels)[0] != null }}
        with:
          script: |
            github.rest.issues.addLabels({
              issue_number: context.issue.number,
              owner: context.repo.owner,
              repo: context.repo.repo,
              labels: ["default-label-here"]
            })

I guess that would work (isn't the if: ..!=null condition wrong?) but it feels like a lot of finicky extra work with the conditional step and the rest call, for something that could easily be part of this action and thus be sort of tested and safe.

Sorry folks, I submitted this PR and then completely ignored feedback - tsk tsk!

I think I agree with @w5l that leveraging the output can achieve a similar result, the user experience I think is nicer to have a catch-all default-label parameter.

I do agree that outputs should be added, it's always worth having some representation of the action taken so other actions can behave differently if desired.

I've raised #86 to cover that functionality, and I will contribute that change.

I've updated this branch based on the current state of main it should be clear to merge

the if condition you passed @TimonVS does not seem to work, managed to get it to work with

jobs:
  pr_auto_labels:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: TimonVS/pr-labeler-action@v5
        id: pr-labeler
        with:
          configuration-path: .github/config/pr-labeler.yml
      - uses: actions/github-script@v7
        if: ${{ steps.pr-labeler.outputs.new-labels != '[]' }}
        with:
          script: |
            github.rest.issues.addLabels({
              issue_number: context.issue.number,
              owner: context.repo.owner,
              repo: context.repo.repo,
              labels: ['default-label']
            })

Currently stuck waiting on the required test check, unsure if this is a placeholder status check?
