convert-to-draft-action

A custom GitHub Action to convert a pull request to draft if all workflows aren't passed

How to use

To use the convert-to-draft-action in your GitHub repository, follow these steps:

Create a Workflow File: Create a new workflow file in your repository under .github/workflows/check-workflows.yml with the following content:

name: Convert PR to Draft

on:
  pull_request:
    types:
      [
        opened,
        synchronize,
        reopened,
        ready_for_review,
        review_requested,
        auto_merge_enabled,
      ]

# If you want to cancel the previous workflow if a new one is triggered, use the following concurrency setting.
concurrency:
  # Group by pull request
  group: ${{ github.event.pull_request.number }}
  cancel-in-progress: true

jobs:
  convert_to_draft:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      actions: read
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
    # TIPS:
    # If you want to support a by-pass not to convert to draft, the subsequent code is commented out.
    # If the event is a pull request and the pull request doesn't have the "disable-convert-to-draft" label,
    # then the workflow will run.
    #if: ${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' && !contains(github.event.pull_request.labels.*.name, 'disable-convert-to-draft') }}
    steps:
      - name: Checkout repository
        uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Convert PR to Draft
        uses: yu-iskw/[email protected]
        with:
          # Required
          GITHUB_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
          # Optional
          leave_comment: "1"
          # Optional
          comment_body: |
            The pull request has been converted to a draft because some workflows failed or are still running.
            Please get it ready to review after all workflows are passed.
