.github/workflow files are ignored by default

[Snailedlt]

At the moment my workflow file is being ignored:

This shouldn't happen because GitHub still says No newline at end of file for that file, so it makes no sense to ignore it by default.

[Logerfo]

Interesting... I'd say this is a bug. There's no specified behavior for skipping other than the assigned paths to ignore. If no assignment is made, the default configuration ignores bin/**, node_modules/** and out/**, none of which should ignore any workflow file. I don't know if the actual behavior is related to the fact that the skipped file is the running workflow file itself.

[Snailedlt]

Hmm, I first thought it might be a permission problem, but then the is ignored message seems weird, cause that only happens if the if statement above it is true.

Definitely a bug I'd say. I'm soon updating another workflow file, so I'll let you know how that goes :)

[Logerfo]

@Snailedlt is it possible that your token has no read permission for the workflow file, but has for some other files? I don't know if that depth of granularity is supported, but perhaps you'd know if you use it.

[Snailedlt]

I don't think that could even be the cause of the issue, could it?

As far as I can tell that wouldn't affect this if statement, which is what is ran to return that message you see in the first image in the issue description.

newline-action/src/main.js

Lines 114 to 117 in d5cb021

	if (!paths.includes(`${REPO_DIRECTORY}/${element.filename}`)) {
	core.info(`${element.filename} is ignored. Skipping...`);
	continue;
	}

@Snailedlt if the blob object is unaware of the existence of the workflow file, I think that might cause the problem you stumbled upon.

[Snailedlt]

I confirmed that it's at least inside .github and .github/workflow folders. Could be permission like you say, any idea how to fix it?

[Logerfo]

@Snailedlt can you confirm that the action is successfully reading files located in directories other than root?

[Snailedlt]

Not at the moment because we have to focus on other issues. But once I get around to doing it, I'll let you know :)

@Logerfo

So I guess I need to use a different github token then

[Logerfo]

@Snailedlt I was wondering if the implemented blob was wrong, maybe only reading the root folder, but it's working fine for me: https://github.com/Logerfo/newline-test/actions/runs/3932390852/jobs/6724891213. Maybe it really is something related to permissions, specially if your repo is in an organization, but I don't know much about GitHub's granularity.

[Snailedlt]

Yes, that's beginning to look more and more likely. The project is in a private repo in an organization

[pablogamboa]

I'm getting the same issue, the project is a private repo in an organization and it skips the files

[connorjchen]

I am getting same issue as well - project is also in private repo in an organization and it is ignored

My files that are being ignored are .github/** as well as .gitignore and .dockerfile in any directory
