I got this same error as well when attempting to use this Action with version 2.0.6.

Hi @Poolitzer! I've branched, not forked, and I'm a member of that org ☺️

Destroying my theories in an instant, pfff :(

Hi,

this happens when the action is used in a pull request (atleast for me) and is resolved when using it on push. I assume the payload used in https://github.com/lots0logs/gh-action-get-changed-files/blob/master/main.js#L6 isn't available in the same way for pull requests.

I encountered the same problem, this action does not work for pull requests. For what it's worth, https://github.com/marketplace/actions/file-changes-action has almost identical functionality and works fine for me on pull requests.

Hi is there any update on this? Also got the same error on version 2.0.6. Is there a version that does work in the meantime that we can use?

[lots0logs]

Sorry for not noticing this issue before now. I can confirm that v2.0.5 works without issue so long as its used on repos owned by an organization. Not sure when I will have time to look into this new error but I will do it asap.

I hate to be the bearer of bad new but I am also seeing this error with v2.0.5 😬

... so long as its used on repos owned by an organization.

Can you explain what you mean by this please? This is the repo I'm working on, definitely owned by an org https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/the-turing-way

[Poolitzer]

Maybe he meant PRs from inside the organization

[lots0logs]

What I meant by that was that the repo is owned by an org account and not a personal user account. We are using v2.0.5 without issue at the company I work for.

[Poolitzer]

My PR situation is also owned by a company/collective

[lots0logs]

I'll have to dig deeper into this. Not sure off hand what is causing the failure.

[lots0logs]

Thanks. That is helpful!

Happens for me as well and makes this action useless for me - which is a shame, because it's the only action to get a list of changed files that actually looks decent.

I'm happy to review a pull request from anyone who has the time to add support for events other than push. I just don't have time right now. Especially since we only use this action on the push event at my job so it works fine.
