Prevent scheduled workflow from being disabled after 60 days #3

Closed connorads closed 3 years ago

connorads commented 3 years ago

Need to prevent the scheduled workflow from being disabled automatically after 60 days of repository inactivity.

Warning: To prevent unnecessary workflow runs, scheduled workflows may be disabled automatically. When a public repository is forked, scheduled workflows are disabled by default. In a public repository, scheduled workflows are automatically disabled when no repository activity has occurred in 60 days.

  1. Create a workflow to do periodic git commits?
  2. Or, use existing workflow but do repo activity at 30/60/90 days once badge progress can be tracked in #2?

Update: Since #4 has failed. We can take advantage of the 60 day inactivity cutoff to disable the workflow. Perhaps run this git activity thing at 42/100 days? https://github.com/steveukx/git-js

@connorads finally, what did you use as workaround to "prevent" the auto disabling and simulate activity ? I saw the readme with change on the 42th day, but there are nothing in the workflow source code. is it hidden ? :)

Hey @lgmorand,

The 42 is here https://github.com/connorads/stackoverflow-fanatic/blob/00ef1b9b6afb2f443ba7d50c4391e341ab19ebe9/src/index.ts#L69-L71

However, unfortunately I believe my workaround(s) never worked and I must not have updated the readme 😞 Think I just had to click a button in the email to stop it from being disabled, or something like that.
