ds-gitflows-template set-up fails

[padilla410]

Diagnosis

GitHub actions fails after cloning the template and having @lindsayplatt kick off the initial build by starring the cloned repo. Here are a few screenshots and a link to a failing build:

We also know that this repo worked as recently as 8/4 because Jesse successfully ran the gitflows training for two new hires.

We found a few red herrings:

• [bug] No module named setuptools conan-io/conan#7092 (comment)
• pip install on latest ubuntu fails with error actions/setup-python#398

I am noting them here because the lack of any calls to python -m pip install helped me find the culprit. This led me to dig into Peter Evans' create-issue-from-file repo because it is called multiple times from .github/workflows/setup.yml. He had two PRs merged 4 days ago, upgrading to v4.

Troubleshooting a solution

To troubleshoot this I cloned this repo, made my own template, and assigned myself as the github.actor, updated Issue 1, and then tried to kick-off a new repo. With the stated updates, this repo successfully builds Issue 1 and fails on Issue 2 which was the expected action.

I also verified that changing all references to from v2 to v4 will allow the build to successfully complete.

I am now going to submit a PR to this repo that updates all actions from peter-evans/create-issue-from-file@v2 to peter-evans/create-issue-from-file@v4
