🪲 [Fix]: Plan no longer fails on schedule/workflow_dispatch (skip version resolution on non-PR events)

[Marius Storhaug (MariusStorhaug)]

The Plan job no longer fails on schedule, workflow_dispatch, or other non–pull-request events, and those runs now complete their full build/test cycle green with no release. Releases and prereleases are unchanged.

• Fixes Plan job fails on schedule/workflow_dispatch: Resolve-Version requires a pull_request event (v6.1.0+ regression) #373

Fixed: non–pull-request runs (schedule / workflow_dispatch)

Since v6.1.0 (which moved version resolution into Plan), two things broke non-PR runs:

1. Resolve-Version ran on every event and threw "...must be run from a pull_request event", failing Plan (and therefore the whole run, since every job needs: Plan).
2. Even once Plan was fixed, the module-local tests failed with "Tests did not execute": the Test-ModuleLocal prescript imports the built module with -RequiredVersion '<Module.Version>', but on non-PR events Module.Version is empty (no PR labels to resolve from), producing -RequiredVersion '' — a binding error that prevented the module from importing.

Both are fixed:

• Plan.yml: Resolve-Version is gated to pull_request events. On non-PR events ReleaseType is already None and Run.PublishModule is already false, and Enrich-Settings falls back to safe empty version defaults.
• Test-ModuleLocal.yml: the prescript's -RequiredVersion now falls back to 999.0.0 when Module.Version is empty, matching the placeholder Build-Module already uses. So on non-PR runs the module is built as 999.0.0 and imported as 999.0.0 — consistent, and tests execute.

The release model is unchanged and matches the intended behavior:

• Default → no release (regular PRs, schedule, workflow_dispatch).
• Merge to the default branch → release.
• Open PR with the prerelease label → prerelease.

Technical Details

• .github/workflows/Plan.yml: add if: github.event_name == 'pull_request' to the Resolve-Version step (with an explanatory comment). No change to the shared Resolve-PSModuleVersion / Get-PSModuleSettings actions.
• .github/workflows/Test-ModuleLocal.yml: -RequiredVersion '${{ ...Module.Version != '' && ...Module.Version || '999.0.0' }}', mirroring the fallback already in Build-Module.yml.
• Validated on the fix branch:
  • workflow_dispatch self-test run: completed successfully — Plan passes and all Test-ModuleLocal jobs (Test-Environment + Test-PSModuleTest, Linux/macOS/Windows) pass, with Publish skipped (no release). Previously this failed at Plan.
  • PR self-test (pull_request): Resolve-Version still runs and succeeds — version resolution / release path intact.

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a regression where the reusable workflow’s Plan job failed on non–pull-request events (e.g., schedule, workflow_dispatch) by ensuring version resolution only runs when PR context exists.

Changes:

• Gate the Resolve-Version step to run only on pull_request events.
• Add an in-file comment explaining the PR-context requirement and why skipping is safe for non-PR runs.
• Preserve downstream behavior by allowing Enrich-Settings to consume empty outputs and default ReleaseType/CreateRelease appropriately.
