Error: found unexpected type for label '<label>' (should be array of config options)

[coilysiren]

Description:

I suspect that I'm just getting the labeler syntax wrong, but unfortunately I can't get it to work. Some assistance would be appreciated.

I'm getting the same error message as #716

Expected behavior:

Labels are added. Or at least, CI doesn't fail.

Actual behavior:

Error: found unexpected type for label 'javascript' (should be array of config options)

Hello @coilysiren,
Thank you for creating this issue. We will investigate it and provide feedback as soon as we have some updates.

It looks like this might be the issue?

#712 (comment)

Unfortunately I was expecting the labeler run inside of a PR branch to actually use the configuration from that PR branch! Probably a naive assumption on my part.

After merging I'm getting a new error:

Error: Error: found unexpected type for label '0' (should be array of config options)

Hi @coilysiren , We investigated the issue with the provided information and it looks like the issue lies with the labeler.yml configuration file. Configuring the configuration file in the similar way to given code snippet below should resolve the issue.

Javascript:
- any:
   - changed-files:
      - any-glob-to-any-file: ["**/*.js", "**/*.jsx"]
Typescript:
- any:
  - changed-files:
    - any-glob-to-any-file: ["**/*.ts", "**/*.tsx"]
Python:
- any:
  - changed-files:
    - any-glob-to-any-file: ["**/*.py"]

Check the attached screenshots for result.
