Wait other jobs

This action waits all GitHub Action jobs even if they are running in other workflows.
When some jobs failed, this action exit with NON 0 value. Otherwise exit with 0.

Why?

I mainly use this for auto merge dependabot PRs without PAT(Personal Access Token).

This action requires following GITHUB_TOKEN permissions.

permissions:
  contents: write
  checks: read
  actions: read

Usage

Below is a typical usecase.

name: Auto merge dependabot PRs if passed other jobs
on: pull_request

permissions:
  contents: write
  pull-requests: write
  # checks: read # For private repositories
  # actions: read # For private repositories

jobs:
  auto-merge-dependabot-prs:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    if: ${{ github.actor == 'dependabot[bot]' }}
    steps:
      - name: Dependabot metadata
        id: metadata
        uses: dependabot/fetch-metadata@v1.3.1
        with:
          github-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
      - name: Wait other jobs are passed or failed
        if: ${{contains(steps.metadata.outputs.dependency-names, 'my-dependency') && steps.metadata.outputs.update-type == 'version-update:semver-patch'}}
        uses: kachick/wait-other-jobs@v1
        timeout-minutes: 30
        with:
          github-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
      - name: Enable auto approve and merge for Dependabot PRs
        if: ${{contains(steps.metadata.outputs.dependency-names, 'my-dependency') && steps.metadata.outputs.update-type == 'version-update:semver-patch'}}
        run: gh pr review --approve "$PR_URL" && gh pr merge --auto --squash "$PR_URL"
        env:
          PR_URL: ${{github.event.pull_request.html_url}}
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN}}

You can adjust status polling interval as below.

        with:
          github-token: "${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}"
          min-interval-seconds: 300 # default 30

Why using for dependabot auto-merge?

I used a way to comment @dependabot merge. This is simple to ensure CI passed.
However it requires PAT(Personal Access Token).
Current PAT can't be reduced the permission scope to repository. It is all.
So this action provides another way. It checks other jobs statuses.

Development

Using typescript@next for native ESM on Node.js So recommend to enable microsoft/vscode-typescript-next on your vscode.
