How to trigger Daily Build

Daily Build (clang)

I didn't find any information about this in the repo, how can I do this in my forked repo?

In the forked repo, it seems that only manually triggered actions can successfully complete the build

${{ inputs.needclean }} is empty in schedule run.
This variable only has a value when workflow_dispatch is triggered.

Since I don't use schedule to run workflow, I didn't do anything about this situation. It would make things complicated in this situation...

I use pipedream to send http request to the github api to trigger the workflow_dispatch event, which is equivalent to running it manually.

It's actually more complicated than that, because I also wrote my own program to trigger builds (CI Build: mpv update) every hour based on mpv commits

Why not use GitHub actions? It's simpler and more fork-friendly?

The schedule event can be delayed during periods of high loads of GitHub Actions workflow runs.

The schedule event can be delayed during periods of high loads of GitHub Actions workflow runs. High load times include the start of every hour. If the load is sufficiently high enough, some queued jobs may be dropped.

It's simpler and more fork-friendly?

I'm only responsible for my own repository, and I didn't set it to schedule also to avoid wasting resources by running it periodically by default after a fork. I would only suggest to run it manually on demand

If they make their own changes that cause problems, then they should fix it themselves

Thanks, I get it.
