Winget Release Action is broken about croc HOT 8 CLOSED

pull is already installed on my winget-pkgs fork btw.

I'll close this issue because winge release action is no longer broken, but please feel free to make another issue if another thing in winget is not working

Stale issue message

from croc.

The current release (9.6.15) is on winget, but I assume it was added manually, because the winget action's logs still show authentication errors.

I don't maintain winget, please make a PR to fix it

To be clear, the problem is not with winget, it's with the release action on this repo. You don't maintain that? The error logs seem to indicate a 401 error because of bad credentials. According to vedantmgoyal9/winget-releaser#240, it seems like your GitHub PAT needs to be regenerated. I don't think anyone can do that via a PR.

from croc.

do you have instructions for doing that?

EDIT2: The original PR that added the winget action to this repo lays out the required steps more clearly than I did, please check it out

OLD POST:

According to the readme of winget-releaser, you need to create a classic PAT with public_repo scope. GitHub's instructions for that are here. Afterwards, I assume you will need to copy it into the secrets for this repo and update the secret named WINGET_TOKEN. Instructions for repo secrets are here.

EDIT: After reading the readme for the winget-releaser a bit more, you will also have to fork https://github.com/microsoft/winget-pkgs, as winget-releaser defaults to using a fork on the repo owner's account (Step 2 on Getting Started). It doesn't look like you have a fork on schollz so that will be necessary too.

winget-releaser recommends using https://github.com/apps/pull on the winget-pkgs fork to keep it synced with the upstream. Installing and setting that up is a couple of clicks: you choose the account (schollz) and then you can install it for a specific repository (your fork of winget-pkgs).
