Bulldozer causing Github Action workflows set to run on merge to be skipped

[reedog117]

I have a GitHub Action workflow that's set to run whenever a PR is merged. It was working fine until I enabled bulldozer -- now the workflow jobs are being skipped.

The condition I'm using is below:

jobs:
  create_release_after_merge:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    # detect when PR is merged and the PR is for a merge to main
    if: (github.event.pull_request.merged == 'true' && github.event.pull_request.base.ref == 'main' || github.event_name == 'workflow_dispatch' )

Are bulldozer merges different from manual merges and this is causing my workflow to be skipped?

Bulldozer uses the Github API to merge PRs using Github app auth. It doesn't have access to any special or internal API.

Perhaps try testing out to see what happens if you merge using the API with your own token? Or try changing up which events are used for detecting the merge event?
