I entered octokit/octokit.net#612 to see if they have an idea what I am doing wrong.

If I can get the X-GitHub-Request-Id in the response, @shiftkey will take a look in the backend to try to figure out what is going on. I am completing #69 to log out the information we need for the next time this happens.

Digging into the exception, it looks like an empty string is an invalid assignee, will try switching to null. Should also check the milestone.

it looks like an empty string is an invalid assignee, will try switching to null.

I believe this is the issue - perhaps the backend is handling "" differently to null

@shiftkey This seems like a good place to propose an update to the API, where "" is treated as not having a user assigned. Do you have a place where users can file proposals like this?

rprouse commented 9 years ago

It was the "" for assignee, it needs to be null. I did some experimenting, milestone also needs to be null, not 0 and it is the same for updating the issue.
