I created the workflow Test but there is no Run workflow button to run it manually.
This is my test.yml file. Is there anything missing?
name: Test
on:
release:
types: [created]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Run a one-line script
run: echo Hello, world!
Some workflows, such as those, based on workflow_dispatch event, the workflow will not even show until the code is not on main (or default branch).
The good news is, once you did merge your feature to main, you may keep on working on the feature branch, because from now on, you will have the option to choose, based on which branch you want to run the workflow, like in the picture.
You need to put workflow_dispatch: under on:.
name: Test
on:
release:
types: [created]
workflow_dispatch: # Put here!!
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Run a one-line script
run: echo Hello, world!
Then, a Run workflow button is shown.
It's ok to put workflow_dispatch: before release:. It works as well.
name: Test
on:
workflow_dispatch: # Putting here is also fine!!
release:
types: [created]
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
- name: Run a one-line script
run: echo Hello, world!
on:
workflow_dispatch: {}
push:
branches:
- 'feature/name-of-feature-branch'
Trigger workflow on push and define your branch under branches:. When your development is done and ready to merge main remove unnecessary code.
on:
workflow_dispatch: {}
