Unexpected error
Unexpected error updating maciejwalkowiak/homebrew-tap
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Running the same command from my localhost works. Perhaps the error logs could be improved to clearly states why does the publishing fails.

[aalmiray]

Did you configure a personal Git token? The default secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN won't work for cross posting to a different git repository (homebrew-tap).

[maciejwalkowiak]

Nope, thats probably it! Thanks will try in the next release and will post here if it worked or not.

Anyways, I think the error could be improved (perhaps with exactly the same suggestion as you have commented).

[aalmiray]

Do you have access to the out/jreleaser/trace.log? If so the full stacktrace may contain a hint to let JReleaser know what to do.

[aalmiray]

FWIW the docs cover the requirement for a PAT https://jreleaser.org/guide/latest/configuration/packagers/homebrew.html#_tokens but I agree the error message could be improved as well.

[maciejwalkowiak]

Not really as it's running on Github actions. Probably there is a way to access it but I think its not trivial (?) Perhaps there could be a flag to JReleaser to run in verbose mode to print it all to STDOUT?

[aalmiray]

You can grab the logs and store them

      - name: JReleaser release output
        if: always()
        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
        with:
          name: jreleaser-release
          path: |
            out/jreleaser/trace.log
            out/jreleaser/output.properties

You may also configure debug mode when running the action to print everything to STDOUT

      - name: Release
        uses: jreleaser/release-action@v2
        with:
          arguments: full-release -g
