Unable to push branch about github-actions-version-updater HOT 6 OPEN

Hi @bastelfreak, This action should run on a schedule event or a workflow_dispatch event.

Example:

# Controls when the action will run.
on:
  # can be used to run workflow manually
  workflow_dispatch:
  schedule:
    # Automatically run on every Sunday
    - cron:  '0 0 * * 0'

Does the token for actions/checkout@v2 actually needs the workflow scope?

I think the action should work without this.

The action is marked as successful, even when the push failed. I think that should be changed?

I need to update this behavior.

If I add it to a repo without this, it fails to push a branch saying that the workflow permission is not there, however after I add it, run the workflow, then it succeeds, then I remove it from the workflow, run it again and it still works. Looks like a bug of some kind. I am not sure what is going on there.

Hi @desecho, Thanks for the bug report. 👍 I have not worked on this for sometime. I will check it out and try to reproduce it when I get some time.

It seems that it does need a workflow-scoped token. Otherwise, I get an error when the version updater action tries to push a new branch. Not sure why is that but I found the solution here: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/27072

Fixed in #17

GitHub Actions Log when PAT without workflow scope is used:

! [remote rejected] gh-actions-update-1665821908 -> gh-actions-update-1665821908 (refusing to allow a Personal Access Token to create or update workflow `.github/workflows/new.yaml` without `workflow` scope)

I can confirm this. Not sure whats going on here. Happens after changing token with workflow scope to token without workflow scope.
