Error: GitHub API communication error. Please contact a human. #43

Closed kishanjasani closed 3 years ago

kishanjasani commented 3 years ago

Firstly, I have created a token on my public repository with public-repo role on the personal token.

Secondly, When I create pull request without phpcs errors then It passes all checks. but If there are any errors then it gives me GitHub API communication error. I have also checked that GitHub API status which is also green.

Here is the link where I am facing the issue: https://github.com/kishanjasani/aquila_portfolio/pull/3

It is necessary that you create this token from a bot user account. Please note that the bot account should have access to the repo in which action is being run, in case it is a private repo. It is compulsory to use a bot account because in GitHub it is forbidden to request changes on your own Pull Request by your own user

@kishanjasani it seems you created token from your own account. As you can not leave review comments on your own PR, this issue has come. Please generate token using a bot account.

Thanks @mrrobot47 :+1: . I have created token from my own account.

kishanjasani commented 3 years ago

@mrrobot47 Can you help me that how do I create that bot account?

mrrobot47 commented 3 years ago

A "bot account" is just another Github user account. You create it exactly as you would any other Github user account.

Simply create another GitHub account, give it access to your repository, and in secrets add a token from the newly created account.
