Bumps actions/github-script from 8 to 9.

Release notes

Sourced from actions/github-script's releases.

v9.0.0

New features:

  • getOctokit factory function — Available directly in the script context. Create additional authenticated Octokit clients with different tokens for multi-token workflows, GitHub App tokens, and cross-org access. See Creating additional clients with getOctokit for details and examples.
  • Orchestration ID in user-agent — The ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID environment variable is automatically appended to the user-agent string for request tracing.

Breaking changes:

  • require('@actions/github') no longer works in scripts. The upgrade to @actions/github v9 (ESM-only) means require('@actions/github') will fail at runtime. If you previously used patterns like const { getOctokit } = require('@actions/github') to create secondary clients, use the new injected getOctokit function instead — it's available directly in the script context with no imports needed.
  • getOctokit is now an injected function parameter. Scripts that declare const getOctokit = ... or let getOctokit = ... will get a SyntaxError because JavaScript does not allow const/let redeclaration of function parameters. Use the injected getOctokit directly, or use var getOctokit = ... if you need to redeclare it.
  • If your script accesses other @actions/github internals beyond the standard github/octokit client, you may need to update those references for v9 compatibility.

echo "=== Files using actions/github-script ==="
rg -l 'actions/github-script' .github/

@fingertips18: Yes, there are breaking changes in actions/github-script v9, but none of them affect your workflow. Here's the full breakdown:


⚠️ Breaking Changes in v9

Breaking Change Description
require('@actions/github') removed @actions/github is now ESM-only, so require(...) calls will fail at runtime
getOctokit is now an injected parameter Declaring const getOctokit = ... or let getOctokit = ... in a script will throw a SyntaxError
@actions/github internals Scripts accessing internals beyond the standard github/octokit client may need updates

✅ Your Workflow is Safe

Inspecting .github/workflows/dependabot-coderabbit-review.yaml, the script only uses:

  • github.paginate(...) and github.rest.issues.* — standard github client ✅
  • context.repo.* and context.issue.* — standard context object ✅
  • No require('@actions/github')
  • No const getOctokit / let getOctokit declarations ✅
  • No @actions/github internals ✅

✅ New Features in v9 (Bonus)

  • A new getOctokit factory function is now injected directly into the script context, enabling multi-token workflows without any imports.
  • ACTIONS_ORCHESTRATION_ID is automatically appended to the user-agent for better request tracing.
