blob: Not Found (404) during mvn com.github.github:site-maven-plugin:site

Currently i'm trying to deploy a site to the ghbranch via the following. May be i'm just doing something wrong:

Have you configured the login/password or OAuth2 token to use in the plugin's configuration section?

[khmarbaise]

Yes i have configured username/password entries like in the github-maven-example like this in my settings.xml:

<profiles>
  <profile>
    <id>github</id>
    <properties>
      <github.global.userName>user</github.global.userName>
      <github.global.password>password</github.global.password>
    </properties>
  </profile>  
</profiles>

<activeProfiles>
  <activeProfile>github</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>

Try adding the repositoryName and repositoryOwner values to the plugin's configuration element with the values maui and khmarbaise respectively.

This is a result of issue #11 which will be fixed in the next release due out soon.

[khmarbaise]

Cool that did the trick. Thanks.

Had the same issue. Resolved as hinted here - thanks a lot.

Perhaps the documentation at https://github.com/github/maven-plugins is misleading, stating that the two properties are "optional and will be inferred".

[raghu-simpragma]

It would be very helpful if we could give some examples that clarify the exact values to be specified for the properties repositoryName and repositoryOwner w.r.t. a given GitHub repo...

[kevinsawicki]

@raghu-simpragma For this repository, maven-plugins would be repositoryName and github would be repositoryOwner.

[raghu-simpragma]

@kevinsawicki -- Can't thank you enough for that simple, yet crucial example! I was getting the 404 not found while creating blobs. And I guessed it must be due to some wrong value in repositoryOwner. Am now able to upload the artifacts successfully to a new branch as expected.

In our github, we see OurOrgNameGroup/repoName.

I wonder if repositoryOwner is a sort of mis-nomer; we usually tend to think of real user-names which have access to the github repo.

Also, what if we have something like OrgName/DeptName/repo in Github? Does that mean repositoryOwner in such a case is simply OrgName/DeptName ?

Pardon my ignorance, but I feel it would avoid many issues if we document these points.

Many thanks, & keep up the good work!

FTR: the error was fixed by changing the password in settings.xml to a token which also has the "user" permission.
