Not able to deploy with v0.8.0 using either workflow dispatch nor a merged PR trigger

[alexxsxnchez]

Using v0.8.0, we're seeing an issue where nothing actually gets deployed even though the GH action succeeds. From what I can tell, it looks like the SKIP_IMAGE_OR_DAGS_DEPLOY value is never set to false, so the deploy step is skipped. In the logs I see an empty files changed: line, even though there should be changes (sometimes normal DAG changes within the dags/ folder and other times non-dag changes).

We are triggering this action from a workflow dispatch call, usually just against the master branch. However, we have also triggered the action from a merged PR and I’m seeing the same issue. On the other hand, if the action is triggered from a pushed branch, then the deploy is successful (both DAG-only deploys, and full-image deploys).

The only parameters we're passing are the deployment-id and a description.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new deployment in astro. Create API_TOKEN with deployment admin for the same deployment.
2. create github secrets with deployment ID and deployment token with keys ASTRO_DEPLOYMENT_ID andASTRO_API_TOKEN respectively.
3. create a new GitHub repository and clone it.
4. Add the following workflow in .github/workflows/deploy.yml

   
   name: "[Manual Trigger] - Deploy to Production"

run-name: Deploy '${{ github.ref_name }}' to Prod

on: workflow_dispatch:

env: ASTRONOMER_SKIP_PARSE: true

concurrency: group: ${{ github.workflow }} # group at the workflow level

jobs: verify_valid_ref: runs-on: ubuntu-latest steps:

• name: Check that REF is either the master branch or a version tag run: | REF=${{ github.ref }} echo "Selected REF: $REF"

    if [[ "$REF" == "refs/heads/main" || "$REF" =~ ^refs/tags/v[0-9]+$ ]]; then
      echo "Selected REF is valid: $REF"
    else
      echo "Invalid REF: $REF"
      exit 1
    fi

  deploy: needs: verify_valid_ref if: success() environment: production runs-on: ubuntu-latest env: ASTRO_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.ASTRO_API_TOKEN }}

  steps:

• name: Set Deployment Version run: | REF_NAME=${{ github.ref_name }} if [[ "$REF_NAME" == "master" ]]; then echo "VERSION=master (latest version)" >> $GITHUB_ENV else echo "VERSION=$REF_NAME" >> $GITHUB_ENV fi
• name: Deploy to Astro uses: astronomer/deploy-action@v0.8.0 with: deployment-id: ${{ secrets.ASTRO_DEPLOYMENT_ID }} description: "@${{ github.actor }} deployed ${{ env.VERSION }}"

4. Perform `astro dev init` in the same repository.
5. Commit and push to the remote repository.
6. Trigger the workflow.

The workflow succeeds, but the deployment is not updated. The workflow log shows `files changed: ` as blank, although files are updated.

# Expected behaviour

Workflow succeed with deployment update.
