Plugin host rate limited the plugin getter

[VAIBHAV7500]

Expected Behavior

Packer should not throw rate limit error.

Current Behavior

During packer init the packer is trying to pull the plugins but it says Plugin host rate limited the plugin getter. I'm using GitHub actions and have no control over the host.

Steps to Reproduce

Create a GitHub action to run packer and it's coming intermittently.

Thanks for reporting this @VAIBHAV7500!

Can you provide the following to help debug this:

• [ ] your GitHub Actions workflow file (in YAML format)
• [ ] a link to the log of your GitHub Action encountering this error (or upload the log to gist.github.com)
• [ ] a Packer manifest file where you encounter this error

Thanks!

Thanks for acknowledging it. But I was able to resolve the issue. Adding PACKER_GITHUB_API_TOKEN env did the job.

- name: Init Packer
  uses: hashicorp/packer-github-actions@master
  with:
    command: init
    target: packer_file.pkr.hcl
  env:
    PACKER_GITHUB_API_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.PACKER_GITHUB_API_TOKEN }}

Great news @VAIBHAV7500!

Looks like you hit a GitHub API limitation and were able to resolve it by providing a PAT.

Thanks for sharing your solution!
