Invite Workflow Sporadically Failing

[meg-gutshall]

Description

During today's Open Source 101 presentation the invite workflow failed without an obvious explanation. It went through to line 25 of the run.rb file because it puts out USER: #{user} and sends an invite via email, but it does not execute from lines 28 downward.

Files

• start-here/action/run.rb
• Invite a contributor #146: Issue comment #100 (comment) created by mikemiles86

To Reproduce

It looks as though any PR from a contributor that triggers the workflow will yield this same result.

Possible Cause

After investigating the issue further, I think the cause lies with Octokit not updating their code to match GitHub's API endpoints.

References

• Octokit Issue #1327
• GitHub deprecation announcement
• Octokit's current documentation: #add_team_membership
• GitHub's current documentation: Add or update team membership for a user

Solutions

1. Use @octokit/core.js instead.
2. Create a PR against the aforementioned issue in octokit.rb and see if that solves the problem! It looks like quite an involved process for creating a PR on that repo—I'll co-author it with you if you'd like!
