Also seeing this issue as of 10 minutes ago. I investigated that it was properly receiving the github.token parameter as well.

On that note, I'm taking this opportunity to finally migrate to the new concurrency system as it meets my needs, related to #191.

@styfle thank you for this repo! It has been in every workflow I've set up in GitHub Actions. It worked wonderfully. 🙂

Following up -

Definitely want to thank @styfle for this awesome action too -- I moved to concurrency by adding something like this to the top level of my action instead of using cancel-workflow-action.

concurrency:
  group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.ref }}
  cancel-in-progress: true

@shirady , this action's purpose was to make sure you were able to cancel an outdated workflow if you pushed changes to the same branch. Github now has this exact functionality baked into Github Actions, and it's called concurrency.

Basically, instead of using this action, you can add the concurrency key to you Github Action files to control if they'll get cancelled when you push new code. The other advantage of using concurrency is that you can customize "concurrency groups" to determine what gets cancelled and when.

Check out this release announcement blog post or Github's documentation or search Stack Overflow for more examples.

@johnmberger @bdrelling @styfle
Would you please explain what concurrency is? and what happened to this repo that you recommended on the other one?
I thought about implementing this step in all our workflows, so I want to understand...
