Deploy to additional branches

[bzivyon]

I am trying to use the action and it works great on Deploy Preview and Production.
But not in Staging branch, the issue is that although the deployment URL seems to be correct (since I use alias option), the environment code is not updated.

This is what I set up in my project settings in Netlify:

This is the code of the action:

- name: Deploy to Netlify
  uses: nwtgck/actions-netlify@v1
  env:
    NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.NETLIFY_AUTH_TOKEN }}
    NETLIFY_SITE_ID: ${{ env.NETLIFY_SITE_ID }}
  with:
    publish-dir: ${{ env.WORKING_DIRECTORY }}/dist
    production-branch: master
    github-token: ${{ secrets.READ_GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    github-deployment-environment: deploy preview
    enable-commit-comment: false
    deploy-message: ${{ env.SHORT_COMMIT_MESSAGE }}
    alias: ${{ env.GIT_BRANCH }}

I tried a lot of options but nothing helped and I would be very happy if you could help or advice. Thanks

Do you mean you want to a deployment URL like https://mybranch1--myapp.netlify.app/ for mybranch1 branch? If so, this setting should be helpful:

Thank you for the answer!

My alias was correct, and the URL is really fine
I just changed github-deployment-environment to 'branch'

But still the same problem...
There is a difference between the deployment made via Netlify and the deployment made via this Action
And the issue is that the code of the branch environment is not updated.
It is important to note that the deployment of a new branch is working fine, the issue is only with the deployment to the staging branch

Deploy via Netlify: 😄

Deploy via Action: 😞

Any idea?
Thanks

I may be possible. It depends on Netlify official API: https://github.com/netlify/js-client.

Do you mean I should contact Netlify?

Could it be a caching issue? If so do you know how to solve it?

[nwtgck]

We need to investigate the API: https://github.com/netlify/js-client to find what we want ("Branch Deploy"). If none, we need to contact Netlify.

I would love to hear about any updates. Thanks

[nwtgck]

Could you tell me how to get the images? Which screen in Netlify?

[bzivyon]

On the main page, select 'Sites'

Select a site, then click on 'Deploys'

The last few times I tried it, it worked well for me. ty

I faced with the same issue, any update on this?
