I just ran into this same error 😞

This is how I configured the auto-merge action:

name: auto-merge

on:
  pull_request:

jobs:
  auto-merge:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: ahmadnassri/action-dependabot-auto-merge@v2
        with:
          target: minor
          github-token: ${{ secrets.mytoken }}

This is probably the github-token is not set properly, you might want to change it to your own secret. According to the doc

GitHub automatically creates a GITHUB_TOKEN secret to use in your workflow. You can use the GITHUB_TOKEN to authenticate in a workflow run.

So you can simple put

github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I did that and it still didn't work.

[ahmadnassri]

@donavanbecker the default provided secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN is not sufficient, I did see that you had used different tokens in previous commits ... but perhaps the scope wasn't correctly set?

see the README on the requried scope: https://github.com/ahmadnassri/action-dependabot-auto-merge#token-scope

that said, the error is from the @actions/core library and it's not seeing any value assigned to github-token so the secret is not even passed to the action ... is this a repo secret? or an org secret?
