Check fails when there is no issue 1

[ebouchut]

When a repository does not have an issue with the number 1, then the blocking-issue action/check fails because of this, according to the error message:

Error: Got an HTTP 403 error while retrieving issue #1

See: https://github.com/ebouchut/Trio-dev-docs/actions/runs/11998558054/job/33445449252?pr=1#step:2:7

FYI: I

• started with issues disabled,
• created a PR (with the number 1),
• got this error when the check ran and failed
• I then manually created the blocked label
• enabled issues
• created a new issue (with the number 2)
• updated PR 1's description
• got the same error
• Seems like a 🐣 🥚 error :-)

Interesting. Seems to me like it should have resolved itself after you enabled issues.

Your repo is private -- can you make it public? Or if you want to keep it private, make a new repo and try to reproduce?

If you do make it public, can you try to edit the description again? Seeing HTTP 403 and not 404 makes me think this may have more to do with permissions than it does with missing issue numbers
