Hi All,

# Testing some GitHub Actions

I tested the following GitHub actions which all claim to be able to assign issues to projects. Here are the super-brief results:

- https://github.com/marketplace/actions/assign-to-one-project

  Result: FAIL

  Detail: Weird 'yq' command errors.

- https://github.com/marketplace/actions/github-project-automation

  Result: FAIL

  Detail: Doesn't understand the difference between the three different GitHub project types. Crucially, it only seems to work with repo-level projects, but our new issue backlog project [1] is an organisation-level project.

- https://github.com/marketplace/actions/automate-projects

  Result: PASS

  Details: It works! ;-)

  Rationale: License is APACHE-2.0. It supports org-level GitHub projects. Code looks simple and the config allows the clear specification of the project and the project board column to add the issues to.

# Next steps

I've raised a PR [2] on the throttler repo to enable the "automate projects" action [3]. Once that lands and we've tested that it DTRT [4], I'll go ahead and raise similar PRs for all the other repos (1.x and 2.x).

# Review request

I've reviewed the licence and the code for [3], but I'd like others to do the same please. Further details are on the PR [2].

Cheers,

James
