Use it in following configuration:

- name: Manual approval
  id: approve
  uses: trstringer/manual-approval@v1
  timeout-minutes: 1
  with:
    secret: ${{ github.TOKEN }}
    approvers: user1,user2,user3
    minimum-approvals: 1
    issue-title: "Terraform deployment to ${{ matrix.env }} environment"
    exclude-workflow-initiator-as-approver: false

Discovered it today. Worked flawless previously.

Any ideas regarding the reason?

Thanks

Sorry for the delay! Looking into this.

[Thomas Stringer]

Can you confirm that the users you're trying to set as approvers, that you can manually set them as approvers for an issue?

[Wojciech Sielski]

@trstringer bingo, in my case one of the user did not exist anymore and was causing the issue, after removing the user problem is gone.

[Even Cheng]

@trstringer in my case the team was a secret team. After making it public the problem goes away. Sorry for the false alert!

[Thomas Stringer]

Glad that it was resolved!
