Knock knock... about writing-javascript-actions HOT 1 CLOSED

Breaking our workflow

Before we continue we are going to need to do a few things. First and foremost our workflow is currently setup to run each time there is a push event to this repository. Let's comment out our current workflow to prevent things from running but preserve the things you've worked on up to this point.

⌨️ Activity: Setting up the next action

1. Edit your workflow file by commenting out every single line. (To comment in .yml, add a # symbol to the beginning of every line).

   # name: JS Actions
   
   # on: [push]
   
   # jobs:
   #   action:
   
   #     runs-on: ubuntu-latest
   
   #     steps:
   #     - uses: actions/checkout@v1
   
   #     - name: hello-action
   #       uses: ./.github/actions/hello-world

2. Commit the changes to a new branch, you can name it action-two.
3. Create a pull request named External APIs
4. Supply the pull request with body content. Remember, this area can be used a notes later.
5. Click Create pull request.

You will still see the workflow trying to execute with every push if you look at the Actions tab, however it will seem as though it fails. This is because there is a workflow file in the .github/workflows directory. The failure isn't actually a failure either, if you expand it you will see that there is simple no triggers for that given workflow and therefore it doesn't run. I have placed a screenshot below so you can become familiar with what this error looks like without the need to go to your Actions tab.

Like our first action, I'll respond in the new pull request when I detect it has been opened.
