Problem running action: "Received event from workflow_dispatch, but received no inputs" error message
I'm trying to run the action as part of a test pipeline (to see if it helps with a project) but the problem is that, following the readme examples, I cannot make it run correctly. The test pipeline code is:
name: "xml-lint-TEST"
on:
pull_request:
branches:
- master
- dev
# Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- name: Checkout
uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Detect changed xml files
uses: trilom/[email protected]
with:
githubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
plaintext: true
- name: Echo file changes
run: |
echo Changed files: ${{ steps.get_file_changes.outputs.files }}
Problem is, it fails with the following error:
Warning: Unexpected input(s) 'plaintext', valid inputs are ['githubRepo', 'githubToken', 'pushBefore', 'pushAfter', 'prNumber', 'output', 'fileOutput']

I do not understand fully the error, but fearing it might have something to do with the plaintext: true statement, I removed it along with githubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} (all under the with: really) and reran it, still got an error about input (this time about infering input)

githubToken: ***

I am not sure of where should I start, as the pipeline is extremely simple at this point and based on the documentation. Any help will be welcome.
Seems to be a bug if workflow_dispatch used to trigger this? I have same problem.
I was able to overcome this issue by passing the PR manually using https://github.com/marketplace/actions/find-pull-request . I think it is because workflow_dispatch is set on branches not PRs (I ended up abandoning this approach anyways since workflow dispatch could not update the PR of its test status anyways :( )
