Skipping branch status checks

[jdbence]

Hello! I would like to enable Github branch protection rules on my master branch. Is it possible to update this action to skip status checks when making a commit to increase the package version?

I'm guessing it has to be added here

bump/index.js

Line 48 in 876e407

await exec('npm', ['version', strategy, '--no-commit-hooks', '-m', `${commitMessage} %s`]);

Github's example
https://docs.github.com/en/github/collaborating-with-issues-and-pull-requests/about-status-checks#skipping-and-requesting-checks-for-individual-commits

$ git commit -m "Update README.
>
>
skip-checks: true

hey @jdbence !

absolutely.. can you run a test against branch feat/skip_checks?

so just run a workflow using:

- uses: tool3/bump@feat/skip_checks

[jdbence]

It doesn't seem to work. It might be from the %s at the end of the literal or that you need another \n to actually have two spaces between the skip-checks: true

bump/index.js

Line 53 in 3febd9f

await exec('npm', ['version', strategy, '--no-commit-hooks', '-m', `${commitMessage} %s`]);

yeah just noticed that... I fixed it for now by putting the version string at the beginning of the commit msg

so please try again :)

I get this same error. Did you see my edited message above about adding another \n?

remote: error: GH006: Protected branch update failed for refs/heads/master.        
remote: error: Required status check "Test" is expected. 

[tool3]

oh no I did't sorry about that...just added another \n

[jdbence]

That seems to have the same result. Maybe its from not having a starting quote for the message?

After your commit description, instead of a closing quotation, add two empty lines followed by skip-checks: true:

Yeah I was just able to push a real commit with this format so let me try another thing

[tool3]

this is quite a unique requirement since I am running all of this through npm version

so I just added > after each line break to see if git parses that correctly

this is probably not going to work too... so let me think of a creative solution

of course you are more than welcome to have a go yourself

bump/index.js

Line 34 in 144b99f

commitMessage = `${commitMessage}\n>\n>\nskip-checks: true`

What if you create them with actual spaces?

commitMessage = '`${commitMessage}


skip-checks: true'

[tool3]

yup.. just did buddy

@jdbence any luck? sorry had very little time to work on this today

[jdbence]

I tried and bunch of different things. I contacted Github support to see if they have an idea. I'll let you know if/what they say.

[jdbence]

I got a reply from a Github Rep.
They said adding the '[skip ci]' to the message should be enough but you cant read the message directly anymore.
They suggested using another Github Action in combination with this one that checks for the 'skip-checks' we set
https://github.com/marketplace?type=actions&query=commit+message

So I'll see if I can get something like that working.

@jdbence thanks! Please update if you find anything.
