Regression on token permissions

[ddelange]

Hi 👋

Just tried out your action (thanks 💥) and didn't get it to work (logs):

Error: Resource not accessible by integration

The yaml is pretty straight-forward:

• default token
• same repo

name: Trigger release-runners.yaml daily

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "4 2 * * *"
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  trigger-build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Invoke workflow
        uses: benc-uk/workflow-dispatch@v1.2.2
        with:
          workflow: release-runners.yaml
          inputs: '{"push_to_registries": true}'

Maybe something changed on gh side?

Fyi - I'm seeing the same behavior when trying to trigger a workflow within a single repository without passing a github token.

Actually, I was able to get this working by providing the following permissions to me action:

---
name: workflow

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

permissions: {}

jobs:
  job:
    permissions:
      actions: write

.... abbreviated 

      - uses: benc-uk/workflow-dispatch@v1.2.2
        with:
          ref: main
          workflow: workflowyaml
          token:  ${{ secrets.github_token }}

thanks @jamiezieziula, can confirm your fix:

name: Trigger release-runners.yaml daily

on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "4 2 * * *"
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  trigger-build:
+   permissions:
+     actions: write
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Invoke workflow
        uses: benc-uk/workflow-dispatch@v1.2.2
        with:
          workflow: release-runners.yaml
-         inputs: '{"push_to_registries": true}' # ERROR: For 'additionalProperties', true is not a string.
+         inputs: '{"push_to_registries": "true"}'

@benc-uk does this warrant an update of the README?

[ReenigneArcher]

I'm seeing the same behavior, only on pull_request event from forks. Works fine on pull_request from a member, and push.

I will try adding the permissions section and report back.

Update: Now working for dependabot PRs!
Update 2: NOT working for fork PRs... not sure why it works for dependabot but not fork PRs.

In your Repo go to: Settings > Actions > General
and change this options:

[ReenigneArcher]

@dersimn thanks for the suggestion, but I already have that enabled for every repository in our org.

And actually to update my last comment.

It only works for org admins, and dependabot. It does not work for other members (who have write permission) on a repo.

I also hit this and required me to add actions: write permission to the job that used benc-uk/workflow-dispatch. No need to change repo settings or other job settings.
