Cannot see github option in material section for GoCD v20.1.0

[monikakatiyar16]

Issue:

• Not able to see github option in Materials section on UI. Also unable to see any logs for the plugin in /var/log/go-server folder

Steps to reproduce:

• Downloaded and installed "github-pr-poller-1.4.0-RC2.jar" in goserver/plugin/external folder (in my case, /var/lib/go-server/plugins/external).
• Added .github file in folder /var/go with file ownership of go user.
• Restarted the go-server using systemctl restart go-server.
• Able to see the plugin in the UI

I cannot see any logs in /var/log/go-server for github pr poller. I can see logs for github status notifier. With older 18.5 version of GoCD, it was working and I could also see the logs for the plugin at this location.

From UI, I cannot see the option Github in Materials section.

Is there something wrong that I am doing there?

Sorry. There's no issue with the plugin. It's just the new look that got me confused. I am not able to see the github option here. But once after creating the pipeline with git creds here, on editing the pipeline, I am able to see the github option!

Can this be reopened as I feel it is an issue. It would be good to create a pipeline with a Github material type from the start. Is there a reason why this plugin’s material type can’t appear in this list?

As it is, to create a pull request pipeline I have to give it a dummy material that I later remove after the pipeline is created when I have been able to add the new Github material.

@mrmanc This is not an issue with the plugin, it's an issue with GoCD itself. Please consider opening this issue at GoCD repo directly.

Will do… thanks 👍

I’ve commented on https://github.com/gocd/gocd/issues/2947 which describes this issue, but it looks pretty stale 😔
