PR description is not updated #38

Hmm, this doesn’t seem to be updating the PR description, does it?

It should. These lines are responsible for such changes: https://github.com/knl/niv-updater-action/pull/37/files#diff-5aa8518f530033ed2efd0db4dd918d9144d524fde9dbd12d305bf0a40579bca4R472-R486.

I've noticed the update on some test PRs I have, but it was not obvious, because the updated commits come at the very end of the description. Do you see any errors @nomeata?

Let me double check: In https://github.com/dfinity/motoko/pull/2225 I see force-pushes, and indeed the force-pushed commit is updated, but the PR description is unchanged. This is using knl/niv-updater-action@v8.

Based on the offline discussion, the problem occurs because the action actually fails mid way. Up to that point, the commit has been pushed, but the description has not been updated. The reason why the action fails is this line:

pr_number="$(hub pr list -s "open" --head "$branch_name" -f "%I")"

It fails because hub pr works on the local checkout.
