Unable to locate build via Github Actions API

[adamjstewart]

We've been seeing intermittent upload failures recently that have caused problems with coverage reporting. The full error log looks like:

You need to use the action with a token despite what the documentation says (that it's only the case for private repos). We used to have this problem and builds would generally pass if you re-ran them. With tokens we haven't seen this error.

[adamjstewart]

Thanks, will try this. If this is true, someone should either fix the documentation or fix the bug that makes it required. It works 95% of the time for us, but that 5% is really frustrating.

[adamjstewart]

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to help, I'm still seeing the same error even with this token:

• https://github.com/microsoft/torchgeo/actions/runs/4222063527/jobs/7330106125

I am also seeing this error from time to time. It tends to happen a lot for some time, and then not happen for a few weeks before reappearing.

I do not use the token, but I have tested with and without the token when the issue appears, and neither works.

[rowanseymour]

@adamjstewart looking at your logs you've shared it doesn't seem you are using a token..

[adamjstewart]

it doesn't seem you are using a token

And yet I am. microsoft/torchgeo#1077 was merged into main 3 weeks ago. microsoft/torchgeo#1109 was automatically created by dependabot and branched off of main 1 week ago.

Is it possible that PRs opened by external collaborators do not have access to secrets? If so, then the "just add a token" fix is no longer a fix.

[rowanseymour]

Hmm the blurb from the repo settings > secrets page says:

"Anyone with collaborator access to this repository can use these secrets and variables for actions. They are not passed to workflows that are triggered by a pull request from a fork."

[adamjstewart]

Gotcha, so secrets aren't particularly useful for open source projects. So we should figure out why tokens are necessary (sometimes) to upload coverage reports.
