Worflow is not triggered by new tag

[craftcodedev]

Hello,

I have an github workflow to be trigger when a new tag is created by antother workflow using the chart-releaser-action. You can see the following code:

Workflow using chart-releaser-action

`name: Release Charts

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - master

jobs:
  release:
    permissions:
      contents: write
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Configure Git
        run: |
          git config user.name "$GITHUB_ACTOR"
          git config user.email "$GITHUB_ACTOR@users.noreply.github.com"

      - name: Install Helm
        uses: azure/setup-helm@v3

      - name: Run chart-releaser
        uses: helm/chart-releaser-action@v1.6.0
        with:
          charts_dir: apps
          config: "./.github/configs/cr.yaml"
        env:
          CR_TOKEN: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"`

Workflow to be trigger when a new tag is created:

`name: Build and push helm chart

on:
  push:
    tags:
      - '**'

jobs:
  build_and_push:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v3`

The new tag is created by chart-releaser-action but the Build and push helm chart workflow is not being trigger. I tried to create and push manually a tag and the workflow is being trigger. So I think the problem is the way chart-releaser-action is creating the tag. Maybe it is related to this issue?

I believe you might be affected by an issue where any git operations done using the secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN will not trigger any workflow. I wasted a bunch of time yesterday and changing the token to a Personal Authentication Token (PAT) solved my issues:

When you use the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN to perform tasks, events triggered by the GITHUB_TOKEN, with the exception of workflow_dispatch and repository_dispatch, will not create a new workflow run. This prevents you from accidentally creating recursive workflow runs. For example, if a workflow run pushes code using the repository's GITHUB_TOKEN, a new workflow will not run even when the repository contains a workflow configured to run when push events occur. For more information, see "Automatic token authentication."
