v5.0.0

Various optimizations:

• Check all inputs before doing any API requests
• Stricter check for doNotSkip input
• Exclude current workflow run from list of all workflow runs
• Get rid of redundant and unnecessary lines
• Add some explaining comments
• Fix bug with empty head_repository
• Action might be a bit faster 🚀

Breaking changes:

• Previously, on input and API request errors the action might have exited successfully but with outputs should_skip = false and reason = no_workflow_information. Now, the action will exit with an error instead.

  To make sure that subsequent jobs will not be skipped in such cases it's recommended to set continue-on-error: true in the skip-duplicate-actions job.
  Note: This has already been recommended in the past regardless of this change.

• The structure of the skipped_by output (also in paths_filter) has slightly changed for the sake of consistency and alignment with GitHub API:

  • runId is now id
  • html_url is now htmlUrl
  • Full example:

    {
     "id": 1709469369,
     "runNumber": 737,
     "event": "pull_request",
