How to add labels regardless of file path

[tregismoreira]

Hello, and thanks for your contribution.

I've been trying to add the labels needs code review and needs functional test to a pull request when it is open, regardless of the file match. I tried this content in my .github/labeler.yml:

needs code review:
- '*'

needs functional test:
- '*'

But it did not work.

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same issue. Here's the debug log output

  - "*"

# .github/workflows/labeler.yml

        with:
          repo-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"

Hello @tregismoreira and @JasonMFry ! The '*' glob will match only root file changes. If you want to add a label when changing a file in sub folder, you should use '**/*' glob.
