Github workflow schedule wont run?

Question

I have a workflow which I want to run as a schedule job. But its also run based on another workflow is success or not. As now its not running as schedule but it works if the other workflow is success.

My workflow:

name: Security

on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: ["My other workflow"]
    types:
      - completed
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 3 * * *'

env:
  IMAGE: ghcr.io/${{ github.repository }}:${{ github.sha }}
  GITHUB_USERNAME: x-access-token
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
  SNYK_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SNYK_TOKEN }}

jobs:
  app-dependencies-vulnerabilities:
    name: Scan for vulnerability
    if: github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Running snyk
        uses: snyk/actions/gradle@master
        with:
          command: monitor
          args: --org=myorg --project-name=${{ github.repository }} --remote-repo-url=https://github.com/${{ github.repository }}.git
          json: true

I think this workflow is not running as excepted schedule job because I have this conditon? if: github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success', am I right? How can I make it run as schedule AND based on the other workflow is success or not?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Your assumption is correct. To check if your workflow is being triggered via a cron job (scheduled event), you may do:

if: ${{ github.event_name == 'schedule' }}

In your case, your if condition should look:

if: ${{ (github.event.workflow_run.conclusion == 'success') || (github.event_name == 'schedule') }}
