github_ref suddenly disappears

[legshort]

Hi there, I suddenly have this problem and ended up here.

as you can see ref which is I used to use github.ref from github action is missing from last night, below screenshot is from echo ${{ toJson(github) }} on Github Action.

Also, I checked the Github Deployment detail with id, sha and ref are same, I think ref should be something like refs/head/master.

please take a look for me, thanks!

@legshort Sorry for the delay here, we've been busy with some infra work.

I've checked your issue and it looks like an expected behavior for the way auto-deployments work. When you're deploying manually via /deploy command and give it a Git ref (branch, tag, etc.), internally we're looking up its associated SHA.

With an auto-deployment though, we cannot reliably detect the Git ref, since it's just a label and there can be multiple labels pointing to the same Git SHA. All that SlashDeploy does is it receives a GitHub Push event and uses a provided SHA as a ref, which is why you see it in the GitHub Deployment API request.

Let me know what's your use case and perhaps we could find some other solution to your workflow?

@assimovt thanks for your comment. I would like to know which branch is deployed automatically when I setup like this

auto_deploy:
      ref: refs\/heads\/dev.+

For right now, I couldn't find any solution yet, plz let me know if there is a way to detect the deployed branch.

@legshort we made some improvements and you should now have a correct ref in the payload. Could you please try if it fixes your issue and sorry for the confusion.

Yeah now we have a correct github ref, thanks for fixing! @assimovt
