Original Pull Request: https://github.com/anomalyco/opencode/pull/13835

State: closed
Merged: No


Summary

Fixes a crash that occurs when OpenCode is configured to respond to PRs from forks, where headRepository can be null or undefined.

The Bug

Error message:

null is not an object (evaluating 'prData.headRepository.nameWithOwner')

This occurs when:

  • OpenCode is configured on a private repo via GitHub Actions
  • A PR is opened from a fork
  • GitHub's API doesn't always populate headRepository for fork PRs

The crash happens immediately when trying to process the PR, making OpenCode unusable for fork workflows.

The Fix

Added null checks in two locations:

  1. Line 565 - When determining if PR is from local branch:
if (
  prData.headRepository &&
  prData.baseRepository &&
  prData.headRepository.nameWithOwner === prData.baseRepository.nameWithOwner
) {
  1. Line 1044 - When checking out fork branch:
if (!pr.headRepository) {
  throw new Error("PR headRepository is null - unable to checkout fork branch")
}

Impact

Fork PRs no longer cause crashes
Clear error message when headRepository is unavailable
Backward compatible - existing behavior preserved for normal PRs

Test plan

  • Added null checks before accessing headRepository.nameWithOwner
  • Added null check for baseRepository as safety measure
  • Added explicit error with clear message in checkoutForkBranch
  • Minimal change - only adds safety checks

Fixes #13812
