Unable to update README file about github-activity-readme HOT 6 CLOSED

Edit:

Solution

So I did just look around the settings within the actions settings and found the setting that did the trick for me

1. Go to your repository's Settings tab.
2. Now on the left side nav bar under the category Code and automation click on the Actions dropdown button and select the option General
3. Now scroll down in your page to the Workflow permissions here you should find 2 radio buttons, and a checkbox in the bottom, if you haven't made any changes here before your default radio button setting should be the second, namely Read repository contents and packages permissions, this setting prevents your action workflows from applying any changes to your repository's files. To change that simply select the radio button option above, namely Read and write permissions. Don't forget to click the Save button in the end, which can be found in the bottom of the Workflow permissions section.
   I hope this helps you gents @ZhangYHe @xzan8189 😄

same, anyone got a solution for this ?
Googling the issue suggests changing the - uses: actions/checkout@v2 to v3 - uses: actions/checkout@v3I tried it but it didn't change the problem.
@jamesgeorge007 seems to also be getting the warning in the action builds but his actions still build successfully.
So the question arises is there some way to ignore warnings?

After some research I didn't find much more than a flag for something similar but instead for errors not for warnings
https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idstepscontinue-on-error
but James doesn't seem to be using any flags, so I thought there might be some form of setting that can be changed.

from github-activity-readme.

A more granular approach is adding contents: write, like this:

jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Update this repo's README with recent activity
    permissions:
      contents: write
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - uses: jamesgeorge007/github-activity-readme@master

That way, the default permissions don't need to be changed.

Please follow the advice given by @DorielRivalet. We just recently updated the official README to make users aware of the permissions feature.

from github-activity-readme.

It gives me the same error

Thank you!
