Github-Check gives POST 404 error when used inside a cron job

[rickstaa]

I currently use a GitHub action that checks whether the following action still works inside the Linux, Mac and Windows runners. This action works fine when it is run with a pull request. When it is run because of a scheduled cron job I, however, get a reviewdog: post failed for flake8: failed to create check: POST https://api.github.com/repos///check-runs: 404 Not Found [] error. You can see the action workflow log here.

After some digging into the reviewdog code, I narrowed the error down to the info variable not being correct.

reviewdog/cienv/github_actions.go

Lines 79 to 84 in de569d1

	info := &BuildInfo{
	Owner: event.Repository.Owner.Login,
	Repo: event.Repository.Name,
	PullRequest: event.PullRequest.Number,
	Branch: event.PullRequest.Head.Ref,
	SHA: event.PullRequest.Head.Sha,

It, therefore, looks like something goes wrong when the tool parses the GITHUB_EVENT_PATH variable. I am however not fully up to date with the codebase. Does anybody know why the BuildInfo is not parsed correctly when running in a cron job.

Closing this due to inactivity and since I haven't experienced the bug anymore.

I'm experiencing this today, also on a schedule run. Any pointers, including information that would not be set on the repo side? Action is https://github.com/errata-ai/vale-action

Facing the same issue. Do you plan to fix it?

@fviolette and @uoboda-splunk I opened the issue again to bring it to the attention of the other maintainers.

SHA: event.PullRequest.Head.Sha,

For a schedule event, won't there be no PullRequest portion of the context? I expect you want to look at the GITHUB_SHA environment variable, or perhaps event.sha (not sure if that's there on schedule events).
