A CI job for my PR started suddenly failing with the error:

I hadn't changed my PR's title before and it's been passing for weeks. Then it started failing for no apparent reason. (I at first tried to shorten my PR title thinking that that was the issue but after reading the error better I realized there's more to it...)

here's my pr-linting.yaml

name: PR linting
on:
  pull_request:
    types: ['opened', 'edited', 'reopened', 'synchronize']

jobs:
  lint-pr-title:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Install Dependencies
      run: npm install @commitlint/config-conventional
    - uses: JulienKode/[email protected]

and my PR title is

feat(patch-detail): implement new view with in-depth patch info

[maninak]

The following workaround fixed it for me:

name: PR linting
on:
  pull_request:
    types: ['opened', 'edited', 'reopened', 'synchronize']

jobs:
  lint-pr-title:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v3
    - name: Install Dependencies
-      run: npm install @commitlint/config-conventional
+      run: npm install @commitlint/config-conventional@v17
    - uses: JulienKode/[email protected]

A new rule was introduced in v18.6 https://github.com/conventional-changelog/commitlint/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#1860-2024-01-25
