CI - Skip Azure migration tests on Dependabot pushes - #10566
Merged
Conversation
GitHub withholds repository secrets from Dependabot-triggered runs, so azure/login gets an empty VMSS_AZURE_CREDENTIALS and hard-fails. This workflow lists itself as a trigger path, so every Dependabot bump of an action used here goes red for a reason that has nothing to do with the bump (#10546).

Run Azure Migration Testsis the only red check on #10546, and it fails at Authenticate existing Azure CI identity:secrets.VMSS_AZURE_CREDENTIALSarrives empty because GitHub does not pass repository secrets to Dependabot-triggered runs. The workflow lists its own file inpaths:, so any Dependabot bump of an action used here (this timeazure/loginv3.0.0 → v3.0.1) fires the whole 75-minute Azure job and then dies on the login step — a red X for a reason unrelated to the bump.This adds a job-level actor guard so the job is skipped rather than failed, matching the
