Ability to cancel same commit workflows about cancel-workflow-action HOT 4 CLOSED

Wouldn't the merged commit have a different hash than the PR head?

Maybe you could try the Advanced Usage: https://github.com/styfle/cancel-workflow-action#advanced

from cancel-workflow-action.

Hmm, it actually has the same commit hash. The workflow is being triggered against the PR, not the target branch - so the commit hash in GHA payload is the last one in the PR.

I looked at the advanced usage. Do I understand correctly, that if I specify workflow_id, then this action will cancel all running workflows with this ID? For all branches, commits, etc?

It will cancel all except the SHA of the current run.

We can't safely cancel the current run or else CI would never be green.

Can you try updating to styfle/[email protected] and see if this solves your issue?

Its possible that the branch names were similar and running into the issue described in #24 which was fixed in 0.4.1.
