Unrecognized named-value: 'secrets'. Located at position 1 within expression: secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN
See original GitHub issueFor some reason (might totally be me) I cannot get this workflow to run, it fails in setup

I can use other workflows fine that do similar things, but this action is the one I’d prefer to use. I tried the manual approach and the GitHub workflow helper UI. Both failed in similar fashion.
I also tried to add the following configuration but it failed in the same way.
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
References:
Since I’m deleting and testing on a throwaway repo, here’s the exact configuration of my workflow for that given failure (with the env included, though the results are the same without)
# This is a basic workflow to help you get started with Actions
name: CI
# Controls when the action will run. Triggers the workflow on push or pull request
# events but only for the master branch
on:
pull_request:
types: ["opened", "edited", "reopened", "synchronize"]
# push:
# branches: [ master ]
# pull_request:
# branches: [ master ]
# A workflow run is made up of one or more jobs that can run sequentially or in parallel
jobs:
# This workflow contains a single job called "build"
build:
# The type of runner that the job will run on
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
# Steps represent a sequence of tasks that will be executed as part of the job
steps:
# Checks-out your repository under $GITHUB_WORKSPACE, so your job can access it
- uses: actions/checkout@v2
# Runs a single command using the runners shell
- name: Run a one-line script
run: echo Hello, world!
# Runs a set of commands using the runners shell
- name: Run a multi-line script
run: |
echo Add other actions to build,
echo test, and deploy your project.
# Runs a PR Linting Action
- name: PR Lint GitHub Action
uses: seferov/pr-lint-action@v1.1.0
with:
# Title regex to match
title-regex: ^\[PROJECT-\d{3,}\] \ # default is ^\[PROJECT-\d*\]\
# ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
# github-token: # optional
# If set, on a failing job automatically closes pull request and comments on it with the given value
# auto-close-message: # optional
env:
GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
