first-interaction: Import error when using the action in a workflow

Hey! Our team has been enjoying this action for a long time now, but today we started getting this error:

internal/modules/cjs/loader.js:1216
      throw new ERR_REQUIRE_ESM(filename, parentPath, packageJsonPath);
      ^

Error [ERR_REQUIRE_ESM]: Must use import to load ES Module: /node_modules/@octokit/graphql/index.js
require() of ES modules is not supported.
require() of /node_modules/@octokit/graphql/index.js from /node_modules/@actions/github/lib/github.js is an ES module file as it is a .js file whose nearest parent package.json contains "type": "module" which defines all .js files in that package scope as ES modules.
Instead rename index.js to end in .cjs, change the requiring code to use import(), or remove "type": "module" from /node_modules/@octokit/graphql/package.json.

If the action is non-blocking for your repo, you can use jobs.<job_id>.steps[*].continue-on-error:

name: Greetings

on: [pull_request_target]

jobs:
    greeting:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        permissions:
            issues: write
            pull-requests: write
        if: ${{ github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]' }}
        steps:
            - uses: actions/first-interaction@v1
              continue-on-error: true
              with:
                  repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
                  pr-message: 'Something'

Hi everyone! Thanks for reporting this, we’re aware of the issue

thyeggman on Oct 3, 2022

Just made a PR to fix this. But I don’t know who is supposed to review it.

farayolaj on Sep 30, 2022

This action should be using release tags so that we can lock to a working version. The continue-on-error workaround is a good short-term solution.

Same problem, since yesterday. These are our settings: https://github.com/unitaryfund/mitiq/blob/master/.github/workflows/greeting.yml

Happens for me as well.

name: Greetings

on: [pull_request_target]

jobs:
    greeting:
        runs-on: ubuntu-latest
        permissions:
            issues: write
            pull-requests: write
        if: ${{ github.actor != 'dependabot[bot]' }}
        steps:
            - uses: actions/first-interaction@v1
              with:
                  repo-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
