github errors, but tagbot appears as successful

[longemen3000]

in the last days, i've been experimenting consistent tagbot failures on what it seems to be a server error? this is the stacktrace from the tagbot workflow:

I would expect that the TagBot action would fail, but appears as successful after that

Hi! Are there any updates on this?

[longemen3000]

I had to tag the release manually. Also, the registration was done via juliahub

[ericphanson]

IIUC TagBot intentionally does not fail to avoid spamming folks with spurious failures, instead relying on the retries to hopefully eventually tag it

I am also experiencing this issue. I tried re-running the TagBot action a couple times, to no avail. I also tried running it using Docker, as mentioned at the bottom of the README.

I have been unable to get TagBot to work due to this error for a week of several PR merges into General, triggered from both JuliaHub and @JuliaRegistrator register. It seems TagBot is just broken for a select few repositories with no explanation as to why. (I checked other recent General merges that were all successfully tagged/released)

Edit: I was hoping an inline code block would prevent the below comment. Oh well

For what its worth, I seem to be running into this too (https://github.com/tecosaur/DataToolkit.jl/actions/runs/3433997912/jobs/5724898705).

Hi. I have been experiencing this kind of issue as well. Please see this run: https://github.com/xKDR/TSFrames.jl/actions/runs/3829930514/jobs/6517161243

[epatters]

In case it's helpful: I still experience this issue. As a workaround, I use the Docker container to run the action manually. Sometimes it takes dozens of manual runs before it successfully completes, but eventually it works. I have no idea why it is so unreliable.

The original post is now a troubleshooting tip: https://github.com/JuliaRegistries/TagBot#the-workflow-shows-as-successful-even-though-errors-have-occurred. Some of the other issues may have been fixed, especially with #264. I will close this but please feel free to open new ones.
