Any idea why git would fail during the deployment for the following toy project ?

https://github.com/boisgera/test-github-pages-deploy-action/runs/6226247720?check_suite_focus=true

(This is intended to be a very simple workflow, I am probably missing something totally obvious here, sorry for the noise.)

Cheers!

Can you provide your workflow file and the error message you're seeing? The logs are masked if you're not an owner

What does your repo permissions look like. Do you have any sort of branch protection rules?

403 implies that the bot doesn't have access to your repo which is strange. Have you tried with an access token with elevated permissions or a deploy key? There's a number of integration tests that run on this repo daily using the most recent version which haven't been falling, so I don't believe anything has changed but I could be wrong?

Ah! Is it because I have not given a GITHUB_TOKEN then? I used to do this in the past (with JamesIves/[email protected], see e.g. https://github.com/boisgera/control-engineering-with-python/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml) and it worked perfectly. Let me try here ...

boisgera Apr 30, 2022

I have added the line token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}, the same error happens.

(I have invited @JamesIves to the test repo, It will be simpler to diagnose the issue.)

JamesIves May 3, 2022

This error implies that you're trying to authenticate using a method of authentication without adequate permissions. In this case it looks like you're trying to deploy to a different repo that you don't own, in this case you'll need to follow the steps in the readme to provide an access token (not GITHUB_TOKEN).

If that doesn't work as always please provide logs and workflow files.

boisgera May 3, 2022

No, I was trying to change the same repo, but @jacobwilliams found the answer: the permission system has evolved and we now need to state explicitly that we grant the token to write the repo, see #1104 (reply in thread).

Thanks for your answer @JamesIves and more generally for the project itself, it is very useful! 👍

I have the same issue in this recently-created repo: https://github.com/jacobwilliams/mersenne-twister-fortran

I've used the same boilerplate in dozens of repos and it always worked before:

    - name: Deploy Documentation
      if: github.ref == 'refs/heads/master'
      uses: JamesIves/[email protected]
      with:
        branch: gh-pages # The branch the action should deploy to.
        folder: doc  # The folder the action should deploy.

Has something changed recently? (I was using 4.1.0 and it didn't work, updating to 4.3.3 still had the same problem). I have many other repos where 4.1.0 still works.

I figured it out: Apparently you have to check "Read and write permissions" in the repo settings -> GitHub Actions -> General -> Workflow permissions. By default, it was set to "Read repository contents permission". I think this default may be new? I don't recall ever having to manually change this with any other repo.

Ah good to know! I'll look into updating the readme tomorrow.

Good find, thanks a lot @jacobwilliams and @JamesIves! For the record, the extra premission can also be granted in the actions yaml file, where we now typically need to add:

permissions:
  contents: write

See 📖 permissions for more details.
