A GitHub Action that closes Issues where the author hasn't responded to a request for more information.

It was forked from https://github.com/lee-dohm/no-response On top of the functionality offered in the original action, this one also adds back a label on the removal of the responseRequiredLabel

Recommended basic configuration:

name: No Response

# `issues`.`closed`, `issue_comment`.`created`, and `scheduled` event types are required for this Action
# to work properly.
on:
  issues:
    types: [closed]
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]
  schedule:
    # Schedule for five minutes after the hour, every hour
    - cron: '5 * * * *'

jobs:
  noResponse:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: MBilalShafi/[email protected]
        with:
          token: ${{ github.token }}

Another example with further configurations:

name: No Response

# `issues`.`closed`, `issue_comment`.`created`, and `scheduled` event types are required for this Action
# to work properly.
on:
  issues:
    types: [closed]
  issue_comment:
    types: [created]
  schedule:
    # Schedule for five minutes after the hour, every hour
    - cron: '5 * * * *'

jobs:
  noResponse:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: MBilalShafi/[email protected]
        with:
          token: ${{ github.token }}
          # auto close issues with no response from author for 7 days
          daysUntilClose: 7
          # label to use to track when a response is required (once a response is made, this label will be auto removed)
          # if the label doesn't exist, it will be auto-created
          responseRequiredLabel: "status: waiting for author's response"
          # once the responseRequiredLabel is removed, this one will be added for tracking on maintainers' side
          optionalFollowupLabel: "status: waiting for maintainer's response"
          # this comment will be posted when closing the issue
          closeComment: >
            The issue has not been closed due to no response from the author, feel free to reopen

See action.yml for defaults.

None.

The intent of this Action is to close issues that have not received a response to a maintainer's request for more information. Many times issues will be filed without enough information to be properly investigated. This Action allows maintainers to label an issue as requiring more information from the original author. If the information is not received in a timely manner, the issue will be closed. If the original author comes back and gives more information, the label is removed and the issue is reopened, if necessary.

At the scheduled times, it searches for issues that are:

• Open
• Have a label named the same as the responseRequiredLabel value in the configuration
• The responseRequiredLabel was applied more than daysUntilClose ago

For each issue found, it:

1. If closeComment is not false, posts the contents of closeComment
2. Closes the issue

When an issue_comment event is received, if all of the following are true:

• The author of the comment is the original author of the issue
• The issue has a label named the same as the responseRequiredLabel value in the configuration

It will:

1. Remove the responseRequiredLabel
2. Reopen the issue if it was closed by someone other than the original author of the issue
3. If optionalFollowupLabel is passed in the config, add it to the issue

When an issues event is received, if all of the following are true:

• The issue was closed (i.e. action: closed)
• The user which closed the issue is the same as the original author of the issue
• The optionalFollowupLabel is passed in the config, and added as a label to the issue

It will remove the optionalFollowupLabel
