Cannot iterate over null (null) about intellij-platform-plugin-verifier-action HOT 8 CLOSED

@glex85 did you intend to close this issue? Did you figure out what happened that you saw this error message?

from intellij-platform-plugin-verifier-action.

Hello. I think when the 'entrypoint.sh' script called 'https://api.github.com/repos/JetBrains/intellij-plugin-verifier/releases/latest',
response was abnormal. ( API call limit exceeded )
Now, the issue was resolved, so I closed it :)

@glex85 was this the error you were seeing by chance?

$ > curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/JetBrains/intellij-plugin-verifier/releases/latest | jq .
{
  "message": "API rate limit exceeded for 123.456.789.101. (But here's the good news: Authenticated requests get a higher rate limit. Check out the documentation for more details.)",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/overview/resources-in-the-rest-api#rate-limiting"
}

@ChrisCarini Yes, It is. Now It has same issue again :(

from intellij-platform-plugin-verifier-action.

TL;DR: I suspect this is happening because:

1. GitHub-hosted runners run in Azure (reference)
2. Unauthenticated requests to GitHub APIs are limited to 60 requests per hour (reference)
3. When verifier-version is set to LATEST (the default, if nothing is specified), this GitHub Action makes a single request to https://api.github.com/repos/JetBrains/intellij-plugin-verifier/releases/latest to resolve the latest version of the JetBrains intellij-plugin-verifier

Thus, I suspect that if enough repositories are using this GitHub action (and/or, a GitHub-hosted runner is (re)using an IP address in the Azure IP space), it is possible that the GitHub API rate limit is being hit.

Details

This can be confirmed by running the below command:

$ > curl -I --silent https://api.github.com/repos/JetBrains/intellij-plugin-verifier/releases/latest | grep x-ratelimit
x-ratelimit-limit: 60
x-ratelimit-remaining: 57
x-ratelimit-reset: 1634814058
x-ratelimit-resource: core
x-ratelimit-used: 3

In PR #28 I have added debug output (which can be enabled in repos by following the "Debugging" instructions) that should show the rate limit count.
