New configuration format for PR Labeler Action (V5)

[Jean-Marc Meessen]

Hello,

(sharing this to avoid others "investing" time to fix it)

The Pull Request Labeler GH action is often used in plugin projects to automatically label PR, based on certain patterns.

With the version 5 of that GitHub Action came a change in the configuration format stored in .github/labeler.yml The full documentation is at https://github.com/actions/labeler?tab=readme-ov-file#pull-request-labeler 

This used to work (obsolete syntax)

-------------------------------

chore:

- .github/**/*

- .gitignore

- .mvn/*

- .settings/*

- .gitpod.yml

- Jenkinsfile

documentation:

- CHANGELOG.md

- CONTRIBUTING.md

- README.md

-------------------------------

From V5 on, this syntax should be used 

-------------------------------

chore:
- changed-files:
  - any-glob-to-any-file: '.github/**/*'
  - any-glob-to-any-file: '.gitignore'
  - any-glob-to-any-file: '.mvn/*'
  - any-glob-to-any-file: '.settings/*'
  - any-glob-to-any-file: '.gitpod.yml'
  - any-glob-to-any-file: 'Jenkinsfile'
documentation:
- changed-files:
  - any-glob-to-any-file: 'CHANGELOG.md'
  - any-glob-to-any-file: 'CONTRIBUTING.md'

  - any-glob-to-any-file: 'README.md'
