release published trigger

[tcurdt]

I want to trigger another workflow when the release has been published

on:
  release:
    types: [published]

Looking at the code I am not sure, but it looks like this might cause a race condition with the file upload.

Does the release maybe have to be drafted, files uploaded and then published for this to work?
I could not find clear documentation on this.

ATM I wish for a race condition :-D

Right now it's not triggering other workflows at all for me.
Is that a known issue?

It only triggers when the Personal Access Token is used instead of the standard Github Token.

For anyone looking to trigger another workflow with release.published event:

• Try to create a new Personal Access Token with just workflow permission
• Then in your workflow:

- name: Release
        uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v1
        if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/tags/')
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.GH_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }}
