[Bug]: CICDPullRequestBranches break PullRequestHandler.yaml

[navdotnetreqs]

AL-Go version

8.0

Describe the issue

I added these to my .github/AL-Go-settings.json

"CICDPushBranches": [],
"CICDPullRequestBranches": [],

Then I ran Update-AL-Go System files.

For CI/CD.yaml

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:
    paths-ignore:
      - '**.md'
      - '.github/workflows/*.yaml'
      - '!.github/workflows/CICD.yaml'
    branches: [ 'main', 'release/*', 'feature/*' ]

became

on:
  workflow_dispatch:

But for PullRequestHandler.yaml

on:
  pull_request_target:
    branches: [ 'main' ]

became:

on:
  pull_request_target:
    branches: [ '' ]

and that breaks the yaml.

Expected behavior

Should remove the target branches properly.

Steps to reproduce

As above.

Additional context (logs, screenshots, etc.)

No response

Hi @navdotnetreqs and thank you for reporting this issue!

Can you please clarify what you mean by "that breaks the yaml"? The generated YAML code seems valid to me.

If your wish is to not use pull requests at all, you can unusedALGoSystemFiles setting instead.

Hi @mazhelez ,

Sorry, I could have given more details!

With that yaml the github workflow fails:

Check failure on line 1 in .github/workflows/PullRequestHandler.yaml


GitHub Actions
/ .github/workflows/PullRequestHandler.yaml
Invalid workflow file

(Line: 5, Col: 17): Unexpected value ''

Hi again @navdotnetreqs

I see now what the issue is.
Can you elaborate a bit what you want to achieve by setting CICDPullRequestBranches to []?

If you don't want to use PRs, you can disable the workflow or add its file (PullRequestHandler.yaml) to unusedALGoSystemFiles (so the file itself will be removed from the repo).
Alternatively, you can also set CICDPullRequestBranches to [ 'non-existent-branch']. That way, the workflow will be there, but it will never be triggered.
