Difference between local and GitHub

[ians-shipt]

Hello! I've been doing a bit of debugging to try and figure out why the action wasn't working on GitHub (it would always say mergeable_state: blocked even when the merge button was green), and I finally got a chance to debug locally. From what I've observed, the calls (in fetchPullRequest) to the github api are returning different results locally vs during the action.

They both says mergeable: true, but have a different in the mergeable_state. Any suggestions or ideas? Thanks!

Also, unsure if it's this action, but the most recent label is being removed (appears to be related to this) even though MERGE_REMOVE_LABELS is set to ''

I experienced similar issues and we assumed some kind of caching issues some time ago, so headers: { "If-None-Match": "" } was added. Without access to GitHub internals we can only speculate, but I assume some kind of logic (maybe caching) that handles requests coming from GH actions differently than external requests.

Regarding the label issue, we have logger.info("Removed labels:", labelNames);, do you see this in the logs?
