Description

The Test Old Branches workflow is used to dispatch workflow runs for old branches because GitHub does not support the schedule event outside of the default branch.

After [51355], has started failing. Since the repository is not checked out in this workflow, the git diff step returns an error. This check can be removed from this workflow.

  • Owner set to desrosj
  • Resolution set to fixed
  • Status changed from new to closed

In 51498:

Build/Test Tools: Remove the check for changes to version-controlled files in the Test Old Branch workflow.

This workflow does not perform a git checkout and is only used to dispatch workflows for old branches, so this check is not needed here.

Fixes #53799.

#2 @desrosj

  • Keywords fixed-major added
  • Milestone changed from 5.9 to 5.8.1
  • Resolution fixed deleted
  • Status changed from closed to reopened

Going to backport this since it was added in 5.8 so that the workflow is consistent in all branches going forward.

Merges [51498] to the 5.8 branch.
Fixes #53799.
