workflows: Add link to skipped action workaround #16173
Conversation
Actions that are skipped because of path filtering remain pending as required on pull requests if they are set as required checks. Since the required checks branch protection feature does not have a notion of unnecessary checks a workaround is required. This workaround is documented but hard to find so I added a note pointing to it from the section that introduces path filtering for workflows. Fixes github#16048

How long do I need to wait for the "Automatically generated comment"? Does it not get generated for draft PRs? |

@toonn Ah, that's a great catch. I didn't know the PR has to be "ready for review" for the auto generated comment. I will add that clarity in the PR template. You can view your changes by clicking the "show environments" and "view deployment" button on the PR feed when the PR is in draft mode. |
