Could you try giving it the chat:write, chat:write.customize, and chat:write.public permissions, and let us know if that works for you?

Thank you for your prompt reply! I have adjusted my scopes to look like:

But I am still seeing:

Additional note: this very simple action is working: https://github.com/ivanklee86/xunit-slack-reporter (It only needs chat:write) Your action looks much better, though, so was definitely hoping to get it working.

Looks like that error is coming from Slack's @slack/web-api package. There's nothing in the backtrace to indicate what call it was trying to do. You might try re-running it with debugging enabled to see if that outputs more information.

Based on the prior output and your screenshot, you might try also adding the channels:history scope. The "Looking for push-6f4d2f856cfbaeecd42363402d151cbafdbda6d8" message is output just before a call to conversations.history which requires that scope.

(We should probably document in the action's readme which scopes it needs...)

[testlabauto]

Thank you. That last addition of channels:history got it working! It's really awesome.

If you do update the docs, I would suggest also indicating that theslack-notification job in the example needs if: always().

[anomiex]

Good idea, although since https://docs.github.com/en/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/evaluate-expressions-in-workflows-and-actions#always suggests !cancelled() I went with that instead of always().

[anomiex]

To summarize: We can't really change what @slack/web-api logs. But we did figure out which scopes are needed, and we have a PR up to document that in the readme. So I'm going to declare this task "completed".
