[skip ci] skips also non-CI workflows #976
Description
Hello! This is a direct follow up of #774 and https://github.blog/changelog/2021-02-08-github-actions-skip-pull-request-and-push-workflows-with-skip-ci/ .
It is very nice that finally having [ci skip] in a PR's current commit does not activate the CI for pull_request. Unfortunately, it also did not run other things in .github/workflows such as the PR labeler and some triage actions (e.g., welcome message) that are unrelated to the CI testing.
How do I tell Actions that some workflows should not respect this new [skip ci] rule you have implemented on your server side?
Thank you!

I am not sure we need a specific way to override the rule right now as long as the other events run as expected.

@chrispat , can you please clarify your response? My point is that I would expect PR labeler (https://github.com/actions/labeler) to still work but it does not kick off now if a pull request is opened and that first commit has
[ci skip]in it.SanderKnape commentedon Feb 10, 2021
I second this. GitHub Actions is specifically marketed as a workflow runner, not just CI/CD. It doesn't make sense then that
[ci skip]and such doesn't run any workflow anymore. Labelling PRs isn't CI nor CD, it's a workflow.chrispat commentedon Feb 10, 2021
Skipping all workflows is a bug that is being addressed. It should only skip
pull_requestandpush. If you want to have a labeler workflow that can't be skipped you can switch to usingpull_request_targetwhich will always be run.pllim commentedon Feb 10, 2021
Thanks for the update! What about release workflow that trigger when you push a tag out; is that immune from this feature?

I too was thrown off as previously I had
ci skipas a check for specific python builds. Now that I have a separate workflow for documentation, I had hoped thatci skipwould skip these python build actions but still allow run the docs workflow. I suppose I can change myifstatementchrispat commentedon Mar 5, 2021
@pllim release events should not be affected.

I see that it no longer skips
pull_request_target. So as far as I am concerned, this is fixed for me. Thanks!pllim commentedon Apr 1, 2021
Looks like it is skipping everything again...

And today it works as intended. 🤷
chore: ignore 'skip ci' flag in PRs

is that also true for push of tags?
