This fixes the scheduled action panic when an event payload is JSON null by initializing the payload map before adding schedule. It also adds regression coverage for the null-payload case.

Fixes #37447.

Testing:

  • go test -tags 'sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify' ./services/actions -run '^TestWithScheduleInEventPayload$' -count=1
    • Local note: this agent ran the command as root with a temporary GITEA_TEST_CONF=custom/conf/app-test-root.ini file that only set I_AM_BEING_UNSAFE_RUNNING_AS_ROOT = true.

Authorship: cyphercodes; AI assistance disclosed: Hermes Agent (GPT-5.5).

Avoid assigning to a nil map when a scheduled action event payload is JSON null.

Rechecked wxiaoguang's inline feedback against current HEAD fd2ab90dfc1c67b73846550816b38793af4b24c7. The current diff already treats eventPayload == "" as an empty payload/map and includes the regression test for that case, so I did not push another commit.

Local verification:

  • Created temporary root-test config custom/conf/hermes-root-test.ini with I_AM_BEING_UNSAFE_RUNNING_AS_ROOT = true, then ran GITEA_TEST_CONF=custom/conf/hermes-root-test.ini PATH=/root/sdk/go1.26.2/bin:$PATH go test -tags 'sqlite sqlite_unlock_notify' -run '^TestWithScheduleInEventPayload$' ./services/actions/
  • PATH=/root/sdk/go1.26.2/bin:$PATH gofmt -l services/actions/schedule_tasks.go services/actions/schedule_tasks_test.go ✅ (no output)
  • git diff --check upstream/main...HEAD

Yes as I did it 👀

Use a single `var event map[string]any` declaration instead of
initialising twice, and add a comment explaining where the empty/null
eventPayload values come from (addresses wxiaoguang's review note).

Backport #37459 by cyphercodes

This fixes the scheduled action panic when an event payload is JSON
`null` by initializing the payload map before adding `schedule`. It also
adds regression coverage for the null-payload case.

Fixes #37447.
