Cannot destructure property hasChanges

[FabioRosado]

Hello,

Thank you for creating this action, I'm using github actions for the first time so I guess there is a lot I don't understand.

I'm trying to create an action that runs black linting to a python project.

This is my actions file

name: lint

on: 
  - push
  - pull_request

jobs:
  lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: actions/setup-python@v2
      - uses: rocioar/gradual-black-formatter@v1
      - uses: gr2m/create-or-update-pull-request-action@v1.2.2
        env: 
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }

But when commit a change/open a PR, this action fails with:

Run gr2m/create-or-update-pull-request-action@v1.2.2
##[error]Cannot destructure property `hasChanges` of 'undefined' or 'null'.

Any idea what I am doing wrong or did I found a bug?

Thank you for you time.

Hmm first time I see that error. It must be originating from this code

create-or-update-pull-request-action/index.js

Line 61 in 6f066da

const { hasChanges } = await getLocalChanges(inputs.path);

The getLocalChanges method is here:

create-or-update-pull-request-action/index.js

Lines 163 to 178 in 6f066da

	async function getLocalChanges(path) {
	const output = await runShellCommand(`git status ${path || "*"}`);
	if (/nothing to commit, working tree clean/i.test(output)) {
	return {};
	}
	const hasUncommitedChanges = /(Changes to be committed|Changes not staged|Untracked files)/.test(
	output
	);
	return {
	hasUncommitedChanges,
	hasChanges: hasUncommitedChanges
	};
	}

The result of await getLocalChanges(inputs.path) should always be an object ... 🤔

Can you share the full error stack please?

[FabioRosado]

What would be the best way to do this? That error I've received from running the action so not sure how to do it sorry 😬

Is your repository public?

The best way to help would be to create a new minimal repository, reproduce the steps to get to the state where the above error is thrown, document the steps so I can reproduce it myself. You could invite me to that repository too, then I can add some debugging steps myself

Hello,

thank you for the quick reply. I created a testing repo for github actions - GitHub action Test Repo

You can probably see the action that failed on the couple pushes and PR that I tried to raise. Hope this helps
