GitHub action failing to add PR comment

[danielwoodhead]

I'm getting this error message when using the GitHub action (the typo is genuine):

Deployment Complete :)
Visit your site at: https://ambitious-moss-0285d8b03-4.westeurope.1.azurestaticapps.net/
Unexectedly failed to add GitHub comment.

Example run (see 'Build and Deploy' step)': https://github.com/danielwoodhead/release-strategy/runs/6295807292?check_suite_focus=true
Workflow: https://github.com/danielwoodhead/release-strategy/blob/main/.github/workflows/dev.yml

I'm getting the same message.

It's been a while but there use to be a comment inserted with the hyperlink to the deployed site. I believe the error message is due to the fact that access the build is unable to write this comment.

Getting same error too. Is there an update on how to fix?

This works for me

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

[blowsie]

This works for me

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

I have checked the permissions and I still get this error

@blowsie I think you need to select Read and write permissions in the workflow settings, I think?

That said, adding the pull-requests: write permission fixed this for me, thanks @SIkebe

These permissions section in Actions are relatively new and have broken other Actions I use too. Azure Static web apps need to update the default Action which is created when the Static Web App is configured, so that it includes this permissions section.

It would be good if the documentation would be updated as well to reflect this.

I do have that set, but still not working for me.

FWIW, I also tried
permissions: write-all and had no luck here..

GitHub Enterprise Server 3.8.0

name: Azure Feature

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize, reopened, closed]
    branches:
      - develop

permissions: write-all

jobs:
...

So the reason for this failing on my project is that the code does not support github enterprise, because api.github.com is hardcoded in the docker image.

StaticSitesClient.Helpers.GithubApiHelper

@vivekjilla sorry to tag you directly, do you know if this project is being maintained and who may be able to addresses these issues?

• hardcoded api.github.com
• typo in error message

[vivekjilla]

@blowsie Aplogies for the delay here, and thanks for tagging me.

Also, thank you for finding the root cause of your issue as well!

I'll check with my team and get these two issues added to our backlog and get them fixed.

@vivekjilla
I appreciate there are a huge amounts of open issues and things to manage here, but is there any way we can get these changes implemented? They are as clear as day, I would create a PR myself if I could but it's not open source?

@anthonychu @microsoftopensource

Are you able to help at all please

@SIkebe. Under workflow permission, I selected the read and write permissions radiobutton. That solved my problem. Thx man.
The below yaml code was not even needed in my case:

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write
