Hi!

I have two workflow files:

one.yml:

name: One

on:
  push:

jobs:
  ...ABC

two.yml:

name: Two

on:
  workflow_run:
    workflows: ["One"]
    branches: [main]
    types:
      - completed

jobs:
  ...XYZ

And an event payload event.json:

{
  "action": "completed"
}

However, when I try to run the command:

act workflow_run --workflows ./.github/workflows/two.yml --eventpath ./event.json --verbose

I get error:

DEBU[0000] Loading environment from /xxxx/.env 
DEBU[0000] Loading secrets from                         
DEBU[0000] Loading workflow '/xxxx/.github/workflows/two.yml' 
DEBU[0000] Reading workflow '/xxxx/.github/workflows/two.yml' 
DEBU[0000] Planning event: workflow_run                 
FATA[0000] Unable to build dependency graph!

Could anyone give me a hand with triggering 'secondary' workflow files?

For workflow_run see: https://docs.github.com/en/free-pro-team@latest/actions/reference/events-that-trigger-workflows#workflow_run

Ok sorry, no teddy bears during Corona...

I still had an needs: on the jobs in two.yml as I split the jobs off, sorry, works like a charm like this:

act workflow_run --workflows ./.github/workflows/two.yml
