Release Notes

actions/github-script (actions/github-script)

v9.0.0

Compare Source

New features:

  • getOctokit factory function — Available directly in the script context. Create additional authenticated Octokit clients with different tokens for multi-token workflows, GitHub App tokens, and cross-org access. See Creating additional clients with getOctokit for details and examples.
  • Orchestration ID in user-agent — The ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID environment variable is automatically appended to the user-agent string for request tracing.

Breaking changes:

  • require('@​actions/github') no longer works in scripts. The upgrade to @actions/github v9 (ESM-only) means require('@​actions/github') will fail at runtime. If you previously used patterns like const { getOctokit } = require('@​actions/github') to create secondary clients, use the new injected getOctokit function instead — it's available directly in the script context with no imports needed.
  • getOctokit is now an injected function parameter. Scripts that declare const getOctokit = ... or let getOctokit = ... will get a SyntaxError because JavaScript does not allow const/let redeclaration of function parameters. Use the injected getOctokit directly, or use var getOctokit = ... if you need to redeclare it.
  • If your script accesses other @actions/github internals beyond the standard github/octokit client, you may need to update those references for v9 compatibility.

Pull Request Overview

This PR updates the actions/github-script action to version 9. This is a major version bump that transitions the execution environment to Node 24 and introduces internal changes to Octokit and dependency loading.

While Codacy reports that the PR is up to standards and no immediate logic errors were found in the workflow script, the update introduces a potential dependency on specific GitHub Runner versions (v2.327.1+) and changes to how the github global behaves. Verification is required to ensure the GraphQL queries and injected globals remain functional under the new version.

About this PR

  • The actions/github-script v9 update requires a minimum GitHub Runner version of v2.327.1. If this repository uses self-hosted runners or specific pinned versions, please verify they meet this requirement before merging.

Test suggestions

  • Verify that the 'Triage Bot' workflow executes successfully using the injected github and core globals in v9.
  • Ensure the github.graphql call functions correctly with the updated Octokit instance provided by the v9 action.
Prompt proposal for missing tests
Consider implementing these tests if applicable:
1. Verify that the 'Triage Bot' workflow executes successfully using the injected `github` and `core` globals in v9.
2. Ensure the `github.graphql` call functions correctly with the updated Octokit instance provided by the v9 action.
Low confidence findings
  • Verify the workflow in a live run to ensure the injected github global and github.graphql queries function correctly with the updated Octokit instance provided in v9.
