Need a way to prevent CI #249

Closed timheuer closed 4 years ago

timheuer commented 4 years ago

Describe the bug GitHub Actions needs a way to prevent a CI from happening based on something in the title. Azure DevOps uses NO_CI and then the CI doesn't even start. A few actions have been created to try to mimic this, but they still result in a CI flow starting, resources being allocatd, and then marking the workflow as failed. GitHub Actions at it's core should have this functionality.

Just stopping by for clarification and curiosity. Can you provide more details on how the check is make via the "title"?

Also interested in which actions are attempting this. Thanks

@bdougie in Azure DevOps if the commit message contains "NO_CI" then it does not trigger a CI build. it's kind of like a pre-kill switch. So your commit message just contains a token of sorts -- some have done this in their own actions: https://github.com/veggiemonk/skip-commit. I think it should be a feature of the core Actions framework.

Please request on github community. Not an issue with the toolkit ...
