    "LABEL": {
      "name": "title needs formatting",
      "color": "EEEEEE"
    },
    "CHECKS": {
      "prefixes": ["fix: ", "feat: ", "docs: ", "chore: ", "style: ", "refactor: ", "perf: ", "test: ", "revert: "],
      "regexp": "docs\\(v[0-9]\\): ",
      "regexpFlags": "i",
      "ignoreLabels" : ["dont-check-PRs-with-this-label", "meta"]
    },
    "MESSAGES": {
      "success": "All OK",
      "failure": "Please fix the following issues:",
      "notice": ""
    }
  }

Can you try using the absolute path? Something like .github/pr-title-checker-config.json assuming the json file is stored in the .github folder of your repo.

[EliasSalom]

my root is like that's, .github/workflows/pr-title-checker-config.json

and I have tried like your example and I get the same result

[thehanimo]

Are you sure you're using configuration_path: ".github/workflows/pr-title-checker-config.json"? Is this a public repository you're working on?

[EliasSalom]

https://github.com/Fullstack-Alfanar/github-action-test/pull/3

please check

[thehanimo]

Thanks, please check your pr-title-checker.yml file. Update it to contain configuration_path: ".github/workflows/pr-title-checker-config.json"

[thehanimo]

Although you have updated it in your non-default branches, the yml file for the workflow is taken from your default branch, which still contains the old configuration path. You'll have to update this field in your default branch.

[EliasSalom]

you check the develop, please check the PR
https://github.com/Fullstack-Alfanar/github-action-test/blob/feat/new-feat/.github/workflows/pr-title-checker.yml
this one

Hope this helps :)

[EliasSalom]

yes sir it's work now, please mention this on the README
I think there are a lot of developers who will fall in this!
and also put they need to put all the following root-like configuration_path: ".github/workflows/pr-title-checker-config.json"

[Canato]

So we need to merge the json file before we can run the CI? So we cannot test before merge the json, correct?

Thanks!

[thehanimo]

That is correct yes.

Also, you might wanna look at #28. Once we get url support, you could always update the file at the given url and not worry about merging branches and stuff.
