Authentication with oauth failes

[casecamp]

client = Octokit::Client.new(:access_token => access_token) If i use this method then

user = client.user

gives bad credentials errror, only basic authentication working, other authentications gives same error.

Using octokit 4.6.2

@casecamp Let's rule out a couple of things first:

• Can you make sure the access_token variable is populated?

• If so, test that token via curl with:

  curl -H"Authorization: token " https://api.github.com/user

works fine on this side

I think I'm seeing the same problem, using Octokit 4.7.0 under Ruby 2.3. My script is:

!/usr/bin/env ruby

require 'dotenv/load'
require 'octokit'

Octokit.configure{|c|
  c.access_token = ENV['GITHUB_TOKEN']
}

repo = 'retorquere/zotero-better-bibtex'

release = Octokit.release_for_tag(repo, 'update.rdf')

The token is a freshly generated personal access token with repo:status, repo_deployment and public_repo access.

The full error is:

I created a new token with all the repo scopes, and called your script, which succeeded.

Do you get the expected token when you call puts ENV['GITHUB_TOKEN']?

I'm going to close this. If you are able to create reproduction steps, please open a new issue.
