Greetings!

I've been experimenting with this action in https://github.com/rpbarlow/test and I've been receiving an error message:

##[error]Validation Failed: {"resource":"PullRequest","field":"base","code":"invalid"}

For example:

That is with this config:

https://github.com/rpbarlow/test/blob/1a593e2c1b876c4a2f62d40e6151bcbc93fbe72c/.github/workflows/gitflow.yml

After some searching, it seems like this error can come from the GitHub API, but I am unsure of what is causing it. I'm curious if some of gitflow-action's dependencies might just need to be upgraded, or something along those lines?

I don't think I have ever seen this error before. Can you please enable debug logging to narrow down the cause?

Hi @Logerfo!

I just sent you an e-mail with the full logs. I did find one traceback in one of the log files:

$ cat Worker_20200415-170019-utc.log

Other than that and the original error message I reported above, I didn't see any further information that seemed relevant.

I think this will show up to your runner instance for whatever error the action gets.
I don't see any debug information on the logs you sent me. Did you set the secret as explained on the documentation I referred to on my last comment? I don't expect it to have information on the error itself, but on which part of the code the action fails.

@Logerfo I did set the secret to true, and I see the secret being echoed in one of the logs:

$ grep -A 3 ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG < Worker_20200415-170044-utc.log 
    "ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG": {
      "value": "true",
      "isSecret": true
    },

I checked the logs from a run that happened before I set that variable, and the runner-diagnostic-logs folder was not present in that one, so I believe that the ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG variable is set correctly in the logs I sent you. According to the GitHub docs, that folder is created when that setting is in place.

@Logerfo I figured it out - this is what happens if you use the wrong name for the dev branch:

rpbarlow-credible/test@fd0a38a

So, it was an error in my config ☺

I suggest perhaps a clearer error message in case someone else makes this mistake in the future. I'll file a new ticket to express that idea.
