Scheduled Action from Github triggering CodeFresh Pipeline returns errors

Triggers
1

Hi,
I have a Github Action setup to trigger a CodeFresh Pipeline using codefresh-pipeline-runner on Git Push as well as every 15 minutes in as a scheduled job. On Git Push, the trigger works perfectly fine and my CodeFresh Pipeline (run automated tests) gets run correctly. However, when the cron job triggers the CodeFresh Pipeline, it returns the following errors “Error: Missing branch or repo for a git trigger”:

Run codefresh-io/codefresh-pipeline-runner@v5

Created new context: context
Switched to context: context
Command: codefresh auth

Description:
 Manage authentication contexts.

 The loading order follows these rules:

         1. If $CF_API_KEY environment variable is set, then it will be used as the current-context ($CF_URL can be used for custom Codefresh systems).
         2. If the --cfconfig flag is set, then only that file is loaded. The flag may only be set once.
         3. If $CFCONFIG environment variable is set, then it is used as the cfconfig file path.
         4. Otherwise, ${HOME}/.cfconfig is used.

Commands:
  codefresh auth create-context [name]  Create or update an authentication context.
  codefresh auth current-context        Get the current activated authentication context.
  codefresh auth get-contexts           Get all possible authentication contexts.
  codefresh auth use-context <name>     Set the current active authentication context.

Options:
  --insecure  disable certificate validation for TLS connections (e.g. to g.codefresh.io)  [boolean]
  --help      Show help  [boolean]
  --cfconfig  Custom path for authentication contexts config file (default: '/github/home/.cfconfig')
Error: Missing branch or repo for a git trigger

Could you please let me know what I need to do to fix the problem with the scheduled job? I have already specified a value for $CF_BRANCH variable in my Github Action yaml file but still no luck. Here’s what my action.yaml file looks like:

# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions

name: CI

on:
  #schedule:
  #  - cron: '*/15 * * * *'

# Allows you to run this workflow manually from the Actions tab
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:

# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
jobs:
  # This workflow contains a single job called "build"
  build:
    # The type of runner that the job will run on
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: test

    # Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
    steps:
      # Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
      - uses: actions/checkout@master
        
      - name: 'run codefresh pipeline job as test'
        uses: codefresh-io/codefresh-pipeline-runner@v5
        env:

Hello and welcome to the Codefresh community.

Your configuration files look correct to me.

Can you please open an issue with us (from the top right menu in the UI)? This way our support team will investigate further.

Be sure to include the URL of the build that has the issue of missing branch

Hi Kostis,
Thanks for the reply. I have opened a support ticket and look forward to your team’s help. FYI, no build was created on the CodeFresh side because of the errors.
