I recently started working on using some GitHub actions on my projects. I am able to setup them up to run automatically but am struggling with having them run manually. I know that you need the have the workflow_dispatch in the on section. I'm not sure if it's not working because I have it automatically run too. Is someone able to tell me what I am doing wrong?
Here is one of my workflow YAML files
name: Create-Doc-Nightly
on:
push:
branches: [ "nightly" ]
paths:
- 'src/**'
- 'pom.xml'
workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
doc:
name: Create Doc
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
name: Step 1 - Checkout Nightly Branch
with:
persist-credentials: false
fetch-depth: 0
- name: Step 2 - Setup JDK 17
uses: actions/[email protected]
with:
java-version: 17
distribution: 'temurin'
- name: Step 3 - Remove Doc
run: |
git remote set-url origin https://jnstockley:${{ secrets.TOKEN }}@github.com/jnstockley/BTTN.git
git config user.email "[email protected]"
git config --local user.name "Jack Stockley"
git rm -r docs
git commit -m "Removed Docs"
git push origin nightly
- name: Step 4 - Create Doc
run: mvn dokka:dokka -f pom.xml
- name: Step 5 - Move Docs
run: |
rm -rf docs
mkdir -p docs
mv target/dokka/* docs
- name: Step 6 - Publish docs
run: |
git remote set-url origin https://jnstockley:${{ secrets.TOKEN }}@github.com/jnstockley/BTTN.git
git config user.email "[email protected]"
git config --local user.name "Jack Stockley"
git add -f docs
git commit -m "Updated Docs"
git push origin nightly

The workflow must be on your default branch in order to use workflow_dispatch.
I believe in your case it's only on the branch nightly while it should also be on main.
