[error]fatal: could not read Username

[jinzishuai]

Hi there,

Without changing anything, my github actions stopped working last night and I got an error of

##[error]fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com': terminal prompts disabled

Does anyone know what is wrong here?

Thank you
Shi

@jinzishuai any link to your check run or repository?
the error means getting 401 from github.com

[jinzishuai]

@TingluoHuang thank you but my repo is a private one so I cannot share that.
But here is a screenshot of what I got.

[jinzishuai]

magically it is working again. Maybe just some cloud infrastructure problem.

[TingluoHuang]

@jinzishuai did you generate a new PAT token for the checkout action?

[jinzishuai]

@TingluoHuang I did try with a newly generated PAT token but that didn't help.
Then half a day later, it started to work again.

Seeing this today when checking out a wiki for a public repo:

https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/pull/1168/checks?check_run_id=484311428

Seems like a fluke since this works fine on other runs.

@Akrog see this issue: #221

@ericsciple Thanks, you are right. The token was revoked and I hadn't noticed. 😅

@ericsciple Thanks, Same here also

I'm having the same problem, all of a sudden the actions stopped working with the same error (since its a private repo I cannot share the link):

The actions were running fine with the organisation secret, which I tried updating but the error persisted:

The relevant part in the workflow config is:

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2

      - name: Checkout M-WDG-Chassis
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          repository: synthara/M-WDG-Chassis
          token: ${ secrets.PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN }
          path: M-WDG-Chassis
          ref: development

Is there anything I'm doing wrong here?

I'm having the same problem

So, my turn, all our CI broke and I am getting nowhere, did you ever solve this? The trouble began when I deleted the org token we are using for checking out dependencies in CI jobs. I created the token again soon after but still all CI jobs fail with the error in the screenshot above. It has been a couple of days now, we really need a solution

I was having trouble with permissions in token, once I updated the token permission it got resolved
