Examples provided in this repo are not getting synced

[vdveldet]

I basically followed the examples in the repo here but my hello-provider-github is not getting in sync.

1. Installed provider

   apiVersion: pkg.crossplane.io/v1
   kind: Provider
   metadata:
   name: provider-github
   spec:
   package: xpkg.upbound.io/coopnorge/provider-github:v0.3.2

2. Added the credentials and connection to github

   
   ---
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
   name: provider-secret
   namespace: crossplane-system
   type: Opaque
   stringData:
   credentials: "{\"token\":\"${GH_TOKEN}\",\"owner\":\"${GH_OWNER}\"}"

---

apiVersion: github.upbound.io/v1beta1 kind: ProviderConfig metadata: name: default spec: credentials: source: Secret secretRef: name: provider-secret namespace: crossplane-system key: credentials

3. Added the hello-provider-github repository

Sorry for the late reply. Is the repository being created? Are you sure the credentials injected are correct?

Hi,

Thanks for the reply, sorry for my late reply now ...

When performing the curl below I get the response. The GH_TOKEN is used in the secret that is set to the ProviderConfig but nothing is created.

curl --request GET --url "https://api.github.com/octocat" --header "Authorization: Bearer ${GH_TOKEN}" --header "X-GitHub-Api-Version: 2022-11-28"

I've run into a similar issue. In my case, the API rate limit is being hit and causing that message. You can check your API usage with the following command.

curl -H "Authorization: token ${TOKEN}" https://api.github.com/rate_limit

[lacroi-m-insta]

@oblogic7 this solves the rate limit issue for 401 case https://github.com/coopnorge/provider-github/pull/81
