The update-trx-to-vsplaylist.yml workflow failed with a 403 error when github-actions[bot] attempted to push using git push. The default GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't grant push permissions for direct git operations.

Changes

  • Consolidated PR creation: Merged separate "Commit and push changes" and "Create Pull Request" steps into a single "Create Pull Request with changes" step
  • Removed git push: The gh pr create command handles branch creation and pushing automatically using the GITHUB_TOKEN
  • Added job permissions: Explicitly granted pull-requests: write and contents: write to the update-tool-version job
- name: Create Pull Request with changes

Pull request overview

This PR fixes a 403 permission error encountered when the GitHub Actions bot attempted to push changes to update the trx-to-vsplaylist version. The solution adds explicit job permissions and consolidates the commit/push and PR creation steps.

  • Added pull-requests: write and contents: write permissions to the update-tool-version job
  • Consolidated the "Commit and push changes" and "Create Pull Request" steps into a single step
  • Removed explicit git push command as gh pr create handles branch pushing automatically
