2.1.16 tries to rename all repos to the same name

[paddyroddy]

Problem Description

What is actually happening

I am using @renovatebot to manage my dependencies and our GitHub Action got upgraded from 2.1.14 to 2.1.16 in UCL-MIRSG/.github@78f2369. At this point, the workflow began failing.

It looks like it is going through every repo and trying to rename it to terraform-harvester-modules. It then errors because https://github.com/UCL-MIRSG/terraform-harvester-modules already exists. I have no idea why is this happening, or why that particular repo was selected. For now I have downgraded to 2.1.14.

I'll attach the full logs in a comment underneath.

What is the expected behavior

The upgrading version shouldn't have broken the workflow.

Error output, if available

The relevant bit of the log is

@paddyroddy Had indeed the same issue when working on this version. This line seems to fix it: https://github.com/github/safe-settings/pull/767/files#diff-cb055c8e3497e3772fc444a77c4aed8483453e7580ffe7ddb223bdffaff43c57R306

The fix @stokkie90 mentioned also fixed the issue for me. I guess we can wait for #767 to get merged to resolve #775. Thanks

If anyone is impatient like I was (I wanted to use the new EXTERNALLY_DEFINED feature), I added this to my GHA running safe-settings (targeting commit 0cb33c8ab623bf8e74c2697ad21118195892c4c7):

      - run: 'sed -i "303s/assign(repoConfig/assign({}, repoConfig/" ./lib/settings.js'

Do we know which version introduced this issue? 2.15 or 2.16?

[klutchell]

I actually fixed this exact issue with this commit, now merged.

Closing this as I tested PR #806
