Solved by adding additional oauth scopes to GITHUB_TOKEN.

X-OAuth-Scopes: public_repo, repo:status, repo_deployment

[nzhul]

hey @stepheneb , how did you added those additional oauth scopes ? Is it somewhere in the github UI, or you added them to your yml file using permissions: ?

Can you give an example please.

Anyone fixed this?
