To fix the problem, explicitly declare minimal
GITHUB_TOKENpermissions for this workflow. Since the jobs only check out code and run tests, they require at most read access to repository contents; no write scopes are needed.The best fix without changing functionality is:
permissionsblock at the top (root) level of.github/workflows/tests.yml, alongsidenameandon, so it applies to all jobs.contents: read, which is sufficient foractions/checkout@v2and running tests.Concretely:
.github/workflows/tests.yml, between line 3 (on: [pull_request]) and line 5 (jobs:), insert:No additional imports or methods are required; this is purely a workflow configuration change.
