Pull request reference make the action to fail #117

Open mkujbus opened 2 years ago

mkujbus commented 2 years ago

If I manually trigger the action with a workflow dispatch event (input is a pull request id), and set the ref to a pull request id, the action fails. 

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          ref: master
      - uses: dorny/paths-filter@v2
        id: filter
        with:
          ref: pull/${{ github.event.inputs.pull_request_id }}/head
          base: 'master'
          filters: |
               ...

The error message is: Error: Could not determine what is pull/810/head - fetch works but it's not a branch, tag or commit SHA

Setting a ref with this style is supported by native github actions, like the checkout version2. I would like to trigger the workflow based on PR links, hence the use case.
