com.jdroid.github.client.RequestException: Bad credentials (401)

[savvisingh]

Describe the bug
upgradDependencies always fails with "com.jdroid.github.client.RequestException: Bad credentials (401)"
I have tried using secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN from Github Actions Workflow and even tried hardcoding the personal token with all the permissions But it always result in the same error.
The weird thing is I can see that the plugin is creating branches But not able to create Pull requests.

I am stuck on this error for days, Would be really helpful if someone can tell me what I am doing wrong :(
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

name: UpgradeDependencies
 -uses: actions/checkout@v2     
 - name: UpgradeDependencies        
 - run:  ./gradlew upgradeDependencies -PgitHubWriteToken=${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} -PgitHubUserEmail=sabbispeak@gmail.com -PgitHubUserName=savvisingh

And My Gradle file has this configuration

plugins{
    id("com.dipien.releaseshub.gradle.plugin") version "2.0.2"
}

releasesHub {
    dependenciesClassNames = listOf("Dependencies.kt")
    dependenciesBasePath = "buildSrc/src/main/java/"
    gitHubRepositoryOwner = "savvisingh"
    gitHubRepositoryName = "coil-sample"
}

There is a problem with your Github write token, used by the plugin to create a pull request. Please verify if you are properly sending the token and if it has write permissions.

[savvisingh]

If you mean Personal Access Token I have given all the permissions to the token But Still it shows the same error :(

[maxirosson]

Did you follow these steps when creating the token? https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token

It's important you have checked the repo permissions

[maxirosson]

Some questions:

1. Are you using plugin v3.1.0?
2. Did you follow these steps when creating the token? https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/keeping-your-account-and-data-secure/creating-a-personal-access-token
3. It is failing locally?
4. Could you attach the whole stacktrace and the executed command?

[Alexs784]

Hi @maxirosson , thanks for your (quick!) reply!

1. Yes
2. Yes (btw I have set up multiple PATs in the past so I already used them for other tools). Can you confirm only the permissions in the repo group are necessary?
3. Yes (I tried both a PAT from my profile and one from the GH organisation)
4. Ofc, you can find it below

Omitting the beginning of the log file because of sensible info, but what it is strange is that the branch gets created and pushed correctly, apparently is only the pull request that is failing?

I think I found the issue - was with the pullRequestTeamReviewers option, removing it makes this work 🥳
(but that means there is probably something wrong with that option, I was just putting a GH group in there)

[maxirosson]

So, you say that if you put a github team there, you get a fail?

[Alexs784]

yes
