Stream 10/27/2019 - Github Action Annoyance

Check Out the Stream @ https://twitch.tv/talk2megooseman

Today was a fairly straight forward stream. Fix the bug with sprites being tilted after the !spin command completed, it just required a one-line change. Afterward, I took a look at why the Assign Issue to Project action stopped working.

Annoyingly the maintainer of the repository decided to just delete the old project after they made a new one with better features. So that caused my action to break because it could no longer find it. Everyone, please don't do this. Just archive your repo and make a notice that your project is no longer maintained and link to the new one. Be a good OSS citizen. Here is a link to the new action https://github.com/takanabe/github-actions-automate-projects

After addressing that, I updated my action and used the new types field for event triggers so that the action is only run when an Issue is created and no other time. This is a nice new feature, it avoids the action running just to check IF it should continue to run. Saving previously allocated run minutes. You can see an example here https://github.com/talk2MeGooseman/twitch-interactive-overlay/blob/master/.github/workflows/assign-to-project.yml
