action-test-results-to-slack doesn't support workflow_dispatch

[testlabauto]

Impacted plugin

None / Other

Quick summary

I just started using this plugin and noticed that all workflow_dispatch events will be grouped because the eventName is not handled.

I think it would be possibly sufficient to add:

if ( eventName === 'workflow_dispatch' ) {
    msgId = `workflow_dispatch-${ Date.now() }`;
}

at: https://github.com/Automattic/action-test-results-to-slack/blob/trunk/src/message.js#L98

But, of course, another implementation would be fine! Just trying to avoid all workflow_dispatch being grouped as it is easy to lose track of those messages in the history.###

Steps to reproduce

1. Run a workflow_dispatch workflow using the plugin
2. Make code changes
3. Run it a second time

A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Separate messages are sent to slack.

I'd recommend someone taking on this request to allow for using appropriately named inputs to optionally specify a sha and source repo, in the same manner that the handling for 'repository_dispatch' uses client_payload.

Thank you! in the meantime, if I use a fork, is this what you are suggesting @anomiex ?

    if ( eventName === 'workflow_dispatch' ) {
        target = `for event _*${ payload.action }*_`;

        if ( payload.client_payload?.sha ) {
            const upstreamSha = payload.client_payload.sha;
            msgId = `workflow_dispatch-${ upstreamSha }`;
            contextElements.push(
                getTextContextElement( `Last commit: ${ upstreamSha.substring( 0, 8 ) }` )
            );

            if ( payload.client_payload?.repository ) {
                const commitUrl = `${ serverUrl }/${ payload.client_payload.repository }/commit/${ upstreamSha }`;
                buttons.push( getButton( `Commit ${ upstreamSha.substring( 0, 8 ) }`, commitUrl ) );
            }
        } else {
            msgId = `workflow_dispatch-${ Date.now() }`;
        }
    }

If you're going to make a fork, you could also submit a PR for us to review. 🙂

As for the code, it looks ok to me except that you'd want to do payload.inputs? rather than payload.client_payload? everywhere in there. That should correspond to a workflow yaml something like

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      sha:
        description: 'Commit tested'
        type: string
      repository:
        description: 'Repository tested'
        type: string

Thank you! Will do! I will test on my fork first and then submit a PR.
