Unable to add access to dwyl/time-apple-watch-app repo

[sohilpandya]

I tried to follow the installation instructions and failed at the first hurdle. 😢

tried to click dwyl organisation so that I could select time-apple-watch-repo

get this error message when clicking through

I'll just assign the bug label here, but I feel this is a P1 issue as I am unable to add dwybot to a repo.

Aaaaaaaah, this might be a permissions issue 🙄

Try again now @sohilpandya

[sohilpandya]

@iteles still getting the same issue. 😟

Yes it's a permission issue. I think you have to be an admin of dwyl to install DwylBot in this case.

[iteles]

@SimonLab An admin of the org, not just and admin of the repo?

[SimonLab]

Yes I think you need to b an admin of the org. I've try to install the dwylbot on dwylbot and had the same error. A Github App is linked to an organisation and from there during the installation process you can choose to install the application on all the repositories of the organisation or just selecting one repository. It's true it's a bit strange that when you try to install an application without the right permission Github doesn't show a nice error message, but I guess Github App is still quiet new still.

[iteles]

In that case, we need instructions for how org admins provide access for dwylbot to new repos. I'm happy to do this.

I'd also like to test what happens if I give dwylbot access to all the repos, does dwylbot magically start commenting?

I think so - as far as I understand only one admin needs to install it one time and then it works for everyone

[SimonLab]

To add dwylbot on new repo, the user will just need to get back to the Github configuration page of the application and find the repo on the list (ie just need to repeat the installation steps described on the Readme: https://github.com/dwyl/dwylbot#install). We can precise this on the Readme :+1:

If you decide to install dwylbot on all the repositories of the organisation, then it will be active on all of them. However dwylbot will only check for new errors, it won't be able to scan the repos for existing errors

I will add these instructions to the readme:

dwylbot.herokuapp.com Manage dwylbot installations Configure Pick Organisation Repository access Only select repositories Select a repository Save

Looks like this (https://github.com/dwyl/dwylbot/issues/131#issuecomment-321338154) has already been done
