The configuration file (path: .github/labeler.yml) was not found locally, fetching via the api

Should I make changes to fix this too?

I looked into meshery/meshery repository to compare workflows as I believe that the other repo does not face these issues.

The workflows were more or less the same, so I added the conditionals in the .yml files to ensure that the bot does not comment twice. I have tested this locally using the act -j comment and I do not seem to find any issues with it.

If there are other ways to test out the changes, please do let me know as I do not have access to the secret token.

I have discussed the same with @vishalvivekm in today's websites meeting.

@M-DEV-1 why the bot comment 2 times, we should fix the root cause instead checking condition.

I'll investigate the root cause and make the changes

@M-DEV-1 let's be consistent between our repos.

What is causing the duplicative commenting? How often does this occur, @sudhanshutech?

[M-DEV-1]

Yes @leecalcote, I'll make sure of that and look into what exactly is causing this issue.

This issue appears to date back to April-May 2024, and I couldn't find any instances of it occurring prior to that.

The only difference between the Meshery and Layer5 workflows is that label-trigger exists in the Layer5 repository.

I think that the label-commenter and the label-trigger workflows might be clashing with each other.

This makes an API call as the labeler workflow in present in .github/workflows instead of .github

[leecalcote]

Good. This investigation helps. Knowing the root cause will change your approach to a solution, @M-DEV-1.
