Summary of Changes
Hello @vedxyz, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!
I've addressed an issue where the GitHub ref was occasionally empty when a workflow was triggered by a release event. This fix ensures that the ref is always correctly populated for release triggers by explicitly constructing it from the release's tag name, thereby preventing deployment failures and improving the reliability of release-based workflows.
Highlights
- Bug Fix for Release Triggers: This pull request addresses a critical bug where the
github refcould be unexpectedly empty for workflows triggered byreleaseevents, leading to failures in subsequent deployment steps. - Explicit Ref Construction: To resolve the
refemptiness, I've implemented a workaround that explicitly constructs therefforreleaseevents by combiningrefs/tags/with thetag_namefrom the release payload, ensuring therefis always correctly populated.

Code Review
This pull request fixes an issue where the GitHub ref is sometimes empty for release triggers by manually constructing the ref from the release tag name. The change is correct and addresses the problem described. I've added one suggestion to make the code more robust by checking for the existence of tag_name in the payload before using it.

Fixes #46
I believe the cause for the above bug is actions/runner#2788. The workaround to the runner bug is to create the ref yourself by prefixing the tag name with
refs/tags/(See sources 1, 2, 3).
