could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': No such device or address error

[drhcelik]

Hello. I created one Github Actions file to fetch upstream changes. The script that I used it below. When I run in test mode, it works quite well and doesn't throw any error. When I change test_mode to false, it gives me this error:

The error that I get:

fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': No such device or address
ERROR:  exit 128
Could not push changes to target repo.
Try running in test mode to verify your action input. If that does not help, please open an issue.
Resetting git config to previous settings.

May you help me to spot and fix my problem?

Thanks a lot.

Here my Github Actions file:

name: 'Upstream Sync'

on:
  schedule:
    - cron:  '0 4 * * 1,2,3,4,5,6'
    # scheduled at 07:00 every Monday and Thursday

  workflow_dispatch:  # click the button on Github repo!

jobs:
  sync_latest_from_upstream:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Sync latest commits from upstream repo

    steps:
    # REQUIRED step
    # Step 1: run a standard checkout action, provided by github
    - name: Checkout target repo
      uses: actions/checkout@v2
      with:
        # optional: set the branch to checkout,
        # sync action checks out your 'target_sync_branch' anyway
        ref:  master
        # REQUIRED if your upstream repo is private (see wiki)
        persist-credentials: false

    # REQUIRED step
    # Step 2: run the sync action
    - name: Sync upstream changes
      id: sync
      uses: aormsby/[email protected]
      with:

        target_repo_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
        upstream_sync_branch: master
        upstream_sync_repo: OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-dev

        # Set test_mode true to run tests instead of the true action!!
        test_mode: true
      
    # Step 3: Display a sample message based on the sync output var 'has_new_commits'
    - name: New commits found
      if: steps.sync.outputs.has_new_commits == 'true'
      run: echo "New commits were found to sync."
    
    - name: No new commits
      if: steps.sync.outputs.has_new_commits == 'false'
      run: echo "There were no new commits."
      
    - name: Show value of 'has_new_commits'
      run: echo ${{ steps.sync.outputs.has_new_commits }}

Have you tried reading through the closed issues? I'm pretty sure this has come up a few times, but the fixes may have been different.

[drhcelik]

Yes, I checked closed issues as well, it seems like using v3 might fix the problem. I haven't tried it actually, but I may give it a try

[Sumsky21]

Same problem, and the method in issue #45 don't work. Using v3.3.

My config file:

  workflow_dispatch:  # click the button on Github repo!

        # sync action checks out your 'target_sync_branch' anyway

Having the same issue here. Looked through the old issues and tried everything mentioned there as well.

[the-sphynx]

Throwing my 2 cents in here too. Same error as drhcelik. Tried fixes in #45 but no luck.

Pushing synced data to target branch.
fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': No such device or address
ERROR:  exit 128
Could not push changes to target repo.

Thanks for fixing this. I merged into v3.4. It's currently pre-release, and if someone here can verify the fix I'll make it a full release.

You are always welcome!

And thanks for this package!

[sprak3000]

If it helps, I just used the 3.4 version and had the action run successfully. Thank you all for patching this up.

[aormsby]

Thanks, will release fully
