Authorization error when running from GitHub Actions (and reading from a diff repository) about ghapi HOT 3 CLOSED

yeeeees!

bask in the glory of automated team sync issues: 2i2c-org/team-compass#52

from ghapi.

@choldgraf do you think there is a bug in your script? In this line
It has:

api = GhApi(token=github_token())

shouldn't it be

api = GhApi(token=token)

😄 It would be wonderful if this fixes the issue. LMK

from ghapi.

The code of github_token() is this

def github_token():
    "Get GitHub token from `GITHUB_TOKEN` env var if available, or from `github` context"
    return os.getenv('GITHUB_TOKEN', context_github.get('token', None))

This means you are trying to getting the GITHUB_TOKEN [1] from the actions runner (due to the bug above), which you don't want - basically you want to grab YOUR token you put in ACCESS_TOKEN not the one from the Actions Runner, The one in the Actions Runner has locked down permissions and won't be able to do what you want. This will definitely solve your problem.

[1] I don't think you are getting any token b/c in create_team_sync.yaml you are not defining GITHUB_TOKEN its just that you have a bug that is trying to grab the wrong environment variable.
