Make action compatible with Gitea

[bvandevliet]

Really want to use this action in my Gitea instance, but it's not compatible and it's trying to use the github API when I look at the runner logs, see below.

It might be easily solved if the action would use the git cli if it is available on the runner machine and falls back to the API method if the git cli is not available. Would this be possible? I believe the checkout action also uses this approach.

EDIT
Simply using git cli won't work as it does not include creating releases. The only way would be to support both the Github and Gitea APIs.

using git client is not efficient and would take too much refactoring.
We use the graphql to achieve most of the workload and this seems like a mistake.
Note the URL include .gitea .github/.gitea/release-drafter.yml. The configName excepts a fileName not the full repostiory path.
I suggest using .github folder cause many other GitHub actions uses this same folder since it is hard coded.

You need to set an environment variables for GHE_HOST to override it to use your gitea API url.

I see no reason why gitea API would not work if they promise 100% compatibility for both REST and GraphQL api.

Thanks for your comment and suggestion. I've been trying to set it up as you suggested and the url seems to resolve correctly now, but I get another error:

::warning::MyOrg/MyRepo: Invalid config file%0A{%0A  name: 'event',%0A  id: '143',%0A  stack: 'Error: Configuration file .github/release-drafter.yml is not found.

However, I have the config file now in /branch/master/.github/release-drafter.yml. Any idea why this error comes up?

What did you set the GHE_HOST to and what is your full URL.
Is the .github/release-drafter.yml on the default branch?
Could be master is not your default branch.

This is what I did:

    steps:
      -
        name: Set GHE_HOST
        id: ghe_host
        run: |
          $ghe_host = $env:GITHUB_SERVER_URL -replace "https://", ""
          echo "::set-output name=GHE_HOST::$ghe_host"
      -
        name: Tag Release
        id: release
        uses: release-drafter/release-drafter@v6.0.0
        with:
          config-name: release-drafter.yml
          prerelease: true
          prerelease-identifier: 'alpha'
          token: ${{ github.token }}
        env:
          GHE_HOST: ${{ steps.ghe_host.outputs.GHE_HOST }}
