Minor and rare bug fix with .lock commands

This release fixes a rare edge case with the .lock functionality of this Action. If users --reason <message contained any part of the lockInfoFlag flags, then it would think the request is for lock details, and not to claim the actual lock. This was a wacky bug but it is now resolved by just adding a single leading whitespace character to our lockInfoFlag variable.

This release also adds enhanced debug logging for lock related functions that are internal to this Action

What's Changed

• Lock bug by @GrantBirki in #187

v7.2.1

v7.2.1

This release fixes a minor edge case where the "post deploy" step could fail if the request for lockData returned null. Thanks to @malancas for finding this bug!

What's Changed

• Post Deploy Fixes by @GrantBirki in #183

v7.2.0

This release introduces retries for all Octokit requests. This issue was raised in #180 which pointed out that potential latency was causing the Action to fail when it was trying to add a file to a branch that didn't quite exist yet. This release adds significant improvements for resiliency when making requests to the GitHub API through Octokit retries.

Users do not need to do anything when upgrading to this release and retries will be handled for you out of the box.

Enjoy! 🚀

⚠️ Breaking Changes ⚠️

This new major release changes the way that "noop" style commands work. Starting with this release, the .deploy noop command will no longer work and it will be immediately replaced with .noop instead. The core reasoning for this, is so that .noop can become its own standalone command and no longer be a subset of the .deploy command. This will lead to less mistakes, user error, and higher flexibility when customizing this Action for future projects.

What do I need to do?

For most users, you don't need to do anything at all. Simply use .noop (the default) instead of .deploy noop. In fact, if you upgrade to v7.0.0 (this release) and run .deploy noop, you will be presented with a comment containing details about the command to use instead and a link to the deprecation docs

You can always customize the noop_trigger input option to be something else besides .noop (you could do .plan if you're doing Terraform things for example) but the "noop" trigger will never again be a subset of the primary deploy command.

Why was this change made?

Here are some suggested readings to learn more about why this change was made if you are curious to learn more:

• discussion issue
• pull request containing changes
• deprecation docs

What's Changed

• noop prefix enhancements by @GrantBirki in #169

v6.1.0

This release introduces a new input option from @szymonpk's suggestion #163.

This input option is called draft_permitted_targets and allows for users to designate certain environments that can be deployed to via a pull request in a "draft" state. By default, no environments can be deployed to from draft PRs but this option may be configured if you or your organization has a special use case where you would like to deploy a draft pull request.

More details about this change can be found here -> #166
