`Error: HttpError: Not Found` on v5 when using the `configuration-path` input

[lfortin-cc]

Description: When using the configuration-path input with a .github/labeler.yml checked out with the checkout action, I get Error: HttpError: Not Found. However, the same workflow is fine when I tested it with v4 and v4.3.0.

Action version:

• v5.0.0-alpha.1
• v5.0.0-beta.1

Platform:

• [x] Ubuntu
• [ ] macOS
• [ ] Windows

Runner type:

• [x] Hosted
• [ ] Self-hosted

Repro steps:

• On test-repo:

.github/workflows/pr-workflows.yaml

name: PR checks
on:
  pull_request:
    types:
      - opened
      - reopened
      - edited
      - synchronize

jobs:
  pr-checks:
    uses: some-org/shared-workflows/.github/workflows/org-workflows.yaml
    permissions:
      contents: read
      issues: read
      pull-requests: write
    secrets: inherit

• On shared-workflows repo:

.github/workflows/org-workflows.yaml

name: PR format
on:
  workflow_call:

jobs:
  label:
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
    - name: Check out labeler.yml
      uses: actions/checkout@v4
      with:
        repository: "some-org/shared-workflows"
        token: ${{ secrets.WORKFLOW_TOKEN }}
        sparse-checkout: |
          .github/labeler.yml
        sparse-checkout-cone-mode: false
    - name: debug
      run: |
        ls -lah .github
        cat .github/labeler.yml
    - uses: actions/labeler@v5.0.0-alpha.1
      with:
        configuration-path: .github/labeler.yml

.github/labeler.yml

feature:
- head-branch: ['^Features/']

issue:
- head-branch: ['^Issues/']

By only changing the labeler version to v4 or v4.3.0, in the action logs I can see The configuration file (path: .github/labeler.yml) is found locally, reading from the file and the HttpError is gone. However the configuration depends on the labeling per branch name only introduced in v5.

Expected behavior: When using v5, I should see The configuration file (path: .github/labeler.yml) is found locally, reading from the file in the logs.

Actual behavior:

Hello @lfortin-cc Thank you for creating this issue. We will investigate it and come back to you as soon as we have some feedback.

Hello @lfortin-cc! Unfortunately, v5.0.0-alpha.1 and v5.0.0-beta.1 do not contain these changes. To fix the issue please use v5.0.0-beta

    - uses: actions/labeler@v5.0.0-beta
      with:
        configuration-path: .github/labeler.yml

[lfortin-cc]

Thank you @MaksimZhukov it works with v5.0.0-beta. I will close this issue, but is there a reason why that version is not shown in the marketplace? I only saw the .1 variants of the alpha and beta there.

[MaksimZhukov]

The reason is that this is not a version, this is a branch. We are going to release a new major version with these changes soon. Thank you for the patience!
