gitea.event_name set to push when running scheduled

[nephatrine]

Description

I have a workflow that runs both on push and on a cron schedule. When I echo ${{ gitea.event_name }} though it shows push both when I push it out and when it runs due to the schedule. From what I can tell, GitHub sets the event_name to schedule when running from a schedule so I expected Gitea to work similarly.

Is this a bug? If not, is there an alternate means to have a workflow detect which trigger it is running under?

How are you running Gitea?

Gitea self-built and running on a docker image. Recently "updated" from 1.20.5 to 1.21.0-rc1 to for the cron actions.

I see this as well.

gitea v1.21.0-rc1
gitea-runner v0.2.6

Cross-referencing the implementation PR:
#26655

Not entirely sure, but it looks like a schedule value may need to be added here:

• modules/webhook/type.go#L11-L33
• modules/webhook/type.go#L37C9-L68

So it is returned here:

• routers/api/actions/runner/utils.go#L124-L126

I test main branch with yaml:

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "*/5 * * * *"

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Make some test files
        run: |
          echo "🎉 The job was automatically triggered by a ${{ github.event_name }} event."
          echo "🎉 The job was automatically triggered by a ${{ gitea.event_name }} event."

Action prints:

So maybe it's a 1.21-only problem.

I see this as well.

gitea v1.21.1
act_runner v0.2.6

on:
    push:
    schedule:
        - cron: "*/5 * * * *"

jobs:
    build:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        steps:
            - name: Make some test files
              run: |
                echo "🎉 The job was automatically triggered by a ${{ github.event_name }} event."
                echo "🎉 The job was automatically triggered by a ${{ gitea.event_name }} event."

Build via "push"

Build via "schedule"

It seems the issue is with having two triggers, one on push and one on schedule.

In the Set up job step, what does it say for the this job was triggered by event: ... (paraphrasing)

[t4skforce]

Build via "push":

act-org-github(version:v0.2.6) received task 713 of job 708, be triggered by event: push
workflow prepared
evaluating expression 'success()'
expression 'success()' evaluated to 'true'

Build via "schedule":

workflow prepared
evaluating expression 'success()'
expression 'success()' evaluated to 'true'

I have the same Problem.
It actually goes a bit further.

For testing I created a new Repo with the following workflow:

.github/workflows/test.yml:

on:
    push:
    schedule:
        - cron: "*/5 * * * *"

jobs:
    build:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest

        steps:
            - name: Make some test files
              run: |
                echo "🎉 The job was automatically triggered by a ${{ github.event_name }} event."
                echo "🎉 The job was automatically triggered by a ${{ gitea.event_name }} event."

It never gets executed.
Then I create a second workflow:
.github/workflows/push.yml

on:
  push:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - name: Make some test files
        run: |
          echo "🎉 The job was automatically triggered by a ${{ github.event_name }} event."
          echo "🎉 The job was automatically triggered by a ${{ gitea.event_name }} event."   

After this the first workflow is executed every 2 minutes.
I checked my other repos with scheduled Jobs. They seem to use whatever event happened last for github.event_name regardless if they triggered a Workflow or not.
