Checks never finish if you add a commit to a PR

[CodeCasterNL]

Version of the Action v4.1.2

Describe the bug When php-cs-fixer fixes some code and commits it through this git-auto-commit-action, then the pull request's checks will never finish.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

0. Create a branch
1. Commit then push some code that php-cs-fixer would love to correct
2. Create a PR for that branch into another
3. The checks run for the initial commit
4. The check creates an additional commit
5. The checks never run on this additional commit

Expected behavior The checks should re-run or something?

Screenshots Pull Request:

Pending check on fixed commit:

Succesful checks on initial commit:

I assume you're using protected branches and have defined these workflows as "required"? This problem is related to the fact, the the commit made by git-auto-commit does not trigger a new Workflow run.

See: https://github.com/stefanzweifel/git-auto-commit-action#commits-made-by-this-action-do-not-trigger-new-workflow-runs

The solve this problem, you would have to either:

• use a personal access token (as described in the link above)
• remove the workflow from the required status check

Another user had a similar issue in #163.

@stefanzweifel thanks for the quick reply. I searched, but didn't find that issue.

We'll try with a PAT and ifs to not run the rest of the workflow if your nice action committed something, thanks!

Closing this issue, as the issue seems to be resolved.
