How to get CI to trigger on Crowdin PRs

[shamoon]

Thank you to the team for this action (and crowdin in general), it's awesome. I apologize if the answer to this question is somewhere else (docs / discussions / examples), I looked and either I missed it or just dont understand.

In brief, our .github/workflows/ci.yml runs various checks including compiling Django messages and building a Docker image. Currently the workflow is triggered on:

on:
  pull_request:

The issue is that CI does not run when Crowdin opens a PR, nor when it later force-pushes updates to the PR branch. I'm just unclear why this is. I've seen the PAT example for actions/checkout, and also some discussion around using pull_request_target instead of pull_request. Before adjusting our CI, I wanted to confirm:

• Is using a PAT for actions/checkout the correct workaround for this?
• Alternatively, is adding pull_request_target a solution to this?

Appreciate any guidance — just want to ensure these translation PRs get the same CI as regular ones.

Thank you!

Hi @shamoon,

I didn't test the exact behavior of the pull_request_target trigger in this case, but adding a custom PAT should work. Please also check the related discussions in #34, #142, #221.

Thank you so much for confirming—sorry for not finding those other ones!
