Tag branch not found from sha

[secondmanveran]

I need to create a new branch release based on that latest release tag created by semantic-release.

I've tested and I am passing in the correct sha for my tag, but I'm getting the following message:

Error: Not Found

Any help here?

when using the checkout action what fetch depth are you using? The default?

Are you triggering the action release? https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/events-that-trigger-workflows#release

- name: Checkout
  uses: actions/checkout@v2
  with:
    ref: main
    fetch-depth: 0

Missed the second question ... sorry.

This isn't a release workflow, I'm listening on push, doing the semantic-release, then fetching the latest tag ... be it new, or not.

There will be instances (rare) that we'll deploy a tag that's older than the current main, but that's fine, there are many times that we'll push commits that shouldn't trigger an actual release, so deploying an old tag is fine.

I think there might be an issue with the checkout action regarding tags actions/checkout#579

Reading the comments I think that if you don't use fetch-depth you might also get the tags.

Could be. I am using depth 0 though so the --no-tags flag shouldn't be present ... who knows.

Thanks for your attempt though.
