By the way, when I run echo $CONVENTIONAL_GITHUB_RELEASER_TOKEN from my command line I get my GitHub token correctly!

picosam avatar Nov 21 '17 16:11 picosam

@picosam can you please provide us a set of steps to reproduce the error? (Some way for us to set up a similar project and environment)

hutson avatar Jan 24 '18 03:01 hutson

I'm getting this as well. Installed this locally rather than globally. Ran the command as follows:

names have been changed to protect the innocent

CONVENTIONAL_GITHUB_RELEASER_TOKEN=<valid access token> CONVENTIONAL_GITHUB_URL=https://<base URL for GHE>/api/v3/ ./node_modules/.bin/conventional-github-releaser -p angular -r 0

iamnewton avatar Jun 14 '18 02:06 iamnewton

Experiencing the same issue. the token is set, checked with echo $CONVENTIONAL_GITHUB_RELEASER_TOKEN

CanRau avatar Sep 29 '18 09:09 CanRau

any updates?

dortzur avatar Dec 17 '18 11:12 dortzur

I believe this happens when you already have a release available for that semver version. Updating the semver version in package.json worked for me.

dortzur avatar Dec 17 '18 11:12 dortzur

I think @dortzur is correct, but GitHub errors have, in my experience, been cryptic.

We have a debug option now - https://github.com/conventional-changelog/releaser-tools/tree/master/packages/conventional-github-releaser#debugging

@picosam @iamnewton @CanRau can one of y'all please provide us the results of the debug output? (With any sensitive URL information removed)

GitHubError: Validation Failed (422)

francoisromain avatar Mar 18 '19 23:03 francoisromain

it works for me now. I am not sure about what solved the problem, but two things chnaged:

  • standard-version was updated from v 5.0.2 to 6.0.1
  • I fixed the url of the repo in package.json which was pointing to a wrong place

francoisromain avatar May 08 '19 13:05 francoisromain

This is happening mainly if you try to create a release that already exists:

curl -X POST https://api.github.com/repos/kikobeats/automate-release/releases -H "Authorization: token GH_TOKEN" \
    -d '{ "tag_name": "v2.0.8", "generate_release_notes: true }'
{
  "message": "Validation Failed",
  "errors": [
    {
      "resource": "Release",
      "code": "already_exists",
      "field": "tag_name"
    }
  ],
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/reference/repos#create-a-release"
}

In that case, the library could fall back into update the release. There is an endpoint for doing that: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/reference/repos#update-a-release

Suggestion

In my particular case, I experienced this problem because when executing the command conventional-github-releaser -p angular -r 0, no message appeared providing information on whether the release was completed successfully or not. Due to this, I re-executed the command and an error appeared.

It would be great if the developers added feedback on the operations. It would be very helpful. 🫶

Solution

The error "GitHubError: Validation Failed (422)" occurs when the release version already exists on GitHub or when the repository URL is invalid in the package.json.

To solve this error, you can try the following:

  1. Verify that the release version does not exist on GitHub.
  2. Verify that the repository URL is valid in the package.json .
  3. Create a new token and select the public_repo scope (or repo to access private repositories). Run the following command to set the token as an environment variable: export CONVENTIONAL_GITHUB_RELEASER_TOKEN=<MY_TOKEN>
  4. Run the command conventional-github-releaser -p angular -r 0

By following these steps, you should resolve your problem. I hope this helps.
