"No project was found" error #65

gilgongo · 2021-03-06T17:27:31Z

Hi, I'm getting the following error on an organization project. Can anyone tell me why it's not recognising the project?

Hi,

I think there is a missunderstanding in the documentation, sorry about that. Since the action run in a repo that belongs to the organisation and the project belong to the organisation as well you don't need a Personal Access Token. So you need to fix with GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}.

If the action run from a personal repo and target an organisation project, then you need to generate a Personal Access Token with the org permissions (see #58), added in the repository secrets and specify it in the workflow file. Hope that is clearer.

Let me know if that fix your problem.

Cheers,
Sergio

gilgongo · 2021-03-07T08:53:15Z

Thanks. I'm not running it from a personal repo, so instead of:

env:
  MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I should use:

env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

is that right? I think I tried that and got another error before.

srggrs · 2021-03-07T11:13:05Z

@gilgongo yep exactly. Should work. Let me know how it goes.

gilgongo · 2021-03-07T18:57:35Z

Unfortunately, it fails with MY_GITHUB_TOKEN not defined :-(

EDIT: I've also tried it now with an organisation secret I created called ORG_SECRET:

MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.ORG_SECRET }}

And again got this:

jq: error (at <stdin>:4): Cannot index string with string "name"
INITIAL_COLUMN_ID is not found.

you don't need to generate a token and add it to the repository secrets. Try this:

on:
  issues:
    types: [opened]
  pull_request:
    types: [opened]
env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

jobs:
  assign_one_project:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Assign to Triage
    steps:
    - name: Put new issues and pull requests into triage
      uses: srggrs/assign-one-project-github-action@1.2.0
      if: github.event.action == 'opened'
      with:
        project: 'https://github.com/orgs/jamulussoftware/projects/2'
        column_name: 'Triage'

gilgongo · 2021-03-08T07:39:04Z

When I try that, I get this I'm afraid:

I also set up a test organisation, and tried tha with MY_GITHUB_TOKEN but get the same thing:

I've hit a similar issue when trying to use a User project. So this config:

      with:
        project: 'https://github.com/users/cpswan/projects/1'

gets me to this log:

Run srggrs/assign-one-project-github-action@1.2.1

No such problems when I run the same workflow definition against an org project:

      with:
        project: 'https://github.com/orgs/javagone/projects/1'

I had similar issue, after a few test, my token didn't had enough privileges, so i add all privileges on the repo and it work

Maybe you should specifies the exact privileges the token need to have for it to work

arist0v · 2022-05-22T18:49:13Z

day-jeff · 2022-07-30T00:32:15Z

I was running into this same issue. I tried https://github.com/actions/add-to-project, and it immediately gave me an error message that I needed to add the 'admin:org' and 'read:project' permissions to my PAT. It worked great once I updated my PAT, so I haven't bothered to come back and try to make it work here. Note: I am using one of the new Git org projects, which is still in beta, and it may require different permissions than the classic projects.

brandonh-msft · 2022-09-20T21:29:49Z

I've tried everything in this thread:

Repo token as MY_GITHUB_TOKEN

env:
  MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Repo token as GITHUB_TOKEN

env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Custom PAT in my repo, configured per @day-jeff 's comment:

env:
  MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_PAT }}

Nothing works.

I can't pivot to what Jeff highlighted because I want the ability to put a new PR/Issue into a column on the Project, not just label the PRs/issues :/

Any update on what works here?
I have an org-level private project on a public repo

TElodie · 2022-11-10T14:49:07Z

I have the same issue. I tried everything like you and nothing: MY_GITHUB_TOKEN and GITHUB_TOKEN.
Any news about this issue ?

bashfulrobot · 2022-11-21T17:48:55Z

Plus one. Same issues.

In an org, both repo and action, using MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}.

Results in:

No project was found.
jq: error (at <stdin>:4): Cannot index string with string "name"
Column name '' is not found.

And when changing to GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}, it results is:

MY_GITHUB_TOKEN not defined

🤔
