Change the Author of the Auto-comment #16

Open mosherc opened 3 years ago

mosherc commented 3 years ago

It would be nice to change the author of the auto-comment. Was expecting it to be from "GitHub Actions" or some generic account, but it appeared to come from the repo owner from our organization.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to set some generic or default author for auto-comments.

Possible Solution

Not sure!

Additional Context

We use this to auto-comment our netlify build links, since we know the format of them and the PR number from the GitHub action. We use this so we don't have to wait for the build link from Netlify, and it's easy to copy. It would be nice if a generic account (or if we could brand it as netlify) could appear to be the one commenting instead of the repo owner against their knowledge.

Apologies if there is already a way to do this, but I didn't see anything in the docs or source code!

I was frustrated about this too but it turns out there's an easy solution, which is to use ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} as the GITHUB_TOKEN

sample workflow:


  name: Hello!
  runs-on: ubuntu-latest
  steps:
    - uses: wow-actions/auto-comment@v1
      with:
        GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        pullRequestOpened: |
                    👋 @{{ author }}
