The head commit for this pull_request event is not ahead of the base commit #11

nolanbconaway · 2020-08-18T13:15:40Z

I squashed a bunch of commits from my PR into one, and now the action is giving me a message:

##[error]The head commit for this pull_request event is not ahead of the base commit. Please submit an issue on this action's GitHub repo.
All: [".github/workflows/black.yml"]
Added: [".github/workflows/black.yml"]
Modified: []
Removed: []
Renamed: []
Added or modified: [".github/workflows/black.yml"]

The issue is that the base commit as such no longer exists because it was squashed. However, it appears that the changed files list is still correct. Does this error need to be raised? what needs to happen to handle squashed base/head commits?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

Bertg · 2020-08-25T14:51:25Z

I see the same issue. This is possibly related to #4 and #7

justyn · 2020-09-07T17:19:34Z

I'm also seeing this issue, a lot of failing workflows - could an option be added to drop the error to a warning?

mmalek-sa · 2020-10-28T22:37:27Z

same issue here.

ahoereth · 2020-10-28T22:55:18Z

Workaround:

       - uses: jitterbit/get-changed-files@v1
         id: files
         continue-on-error: true

johentsch · 2020-11-28T17:36:22Z

Same here

dlam · 2020-12-12T03:09:21Z

A reliable way to reproduce this seems to be force push event

javipolo · 2020-12-28T18:02:32Z

Same here ...

* Integrate workaround for "head commit not ahead of base commit" Workaround proposed here: jitterbit/get-changed-files#11 (comment) * Vale GHA: filter out files that aren't inside docs/ directory - This helps avoid Vale running on non-content markdown files, like our typography test page. - A new select_docs_dir_files step is added. This step parses and filters the JSON added_modified output from the get_changed_files step. It then sets a new output for this filtered file list that the Vale step later reads from. - The jq command is used to filter the JSON list of files: https://stedolan.github.io/jq/ - This Stack Overflow served as inspiration: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/64482190/edit-the-value-inside-the-json-array-with-github-actions * Only run the Vale step if list of files in docs/ is not empty When the list of files was empty after the select_docs_dir_files step ran, the action would hang at the Vale step: https://github.com/linode/docs/pull/4304/checks?check_run_id=2546802169 * Vale GHA: add comments

I have cherry-picked 54f3703 (which fixes this issue) and released it in Ana06/get-changed-files@v1.2. I hope this change makes it upstream. In case it doesn't (or until it does), feel free to use Ana06/get-changed-files@v1.2 (which also supports pull_request_target and allow to filter files using regular expressions).

When a set of commits is squashed and force pushed, it causes errors with this action. See jitterbit/get-changed-files#11

this fork fixed the issue for me

sgibson91 · 2022-04-13T09:00:01Z

Would love to see the fork make it into this action!

Bertg · 2022-04-15T07:43:31Z

This issue has been open for a while.

We built an action similar to this one (not entirely the same) here https://github.com/younited/detect-branch-changes-action Maybe this can cover your case as well?

Change to follow jitterbit/get-changed-files#11 and use uses: Ana06/get-changed-files@v1.2

(jitterbit/get-changed-files#11)

see jitterbit/get-changed-files#11 for context when commits are pushed, then later squashed and re-pushed, the action can fail workaround is to continue on error, since the list of files changed is still correct

The previous one seems to have had a bug reported here jitterbit/get-changed-files#11

jitterbit/get-changed-files@v1 often fails with errors like: Base commit: c06f2fe Head commit: 55342d5 Error: The head commit for this pull_request event is not ahead of the base commit.
