Getting started not working

[fabn]

Describe the Issue

I'm trying this action in an empty repository and I'm not able to make it working. It says something about missing permissions but it's not specifying which one is missing.

I put the attached workflow in main branch, then I opened a pull request and commented it with

.ping | LOG_LEVEL=debug,CPU_CORES=4

Action Configuration

name: "command demo"

# the workflow to execute on is comments that are newly created
on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [ created ]

# permissions needed for reacting to IssueOps commands on issues and PRs
permissions:
  pull-requests: write
  issues: write
  checks: read

jobs:
  demo:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      # execute IssueOps command logic, hooray!
      # this will be used to "gate" all future steps below
      - uses: github/[email protected]
        id: ping
        with:
          command: ".ping"

      # run your custom logic for your project here - example seen below

      # conditionally run some logic here
      - name: ping command
        if: ${{ steps.ping.outputs.continue == 'true' }}
        run: echo 'Got comment in PR \#${{ steps.ping.outputs.issue_number }} with params ${{ steps.ping.outputs.params }}'

Extra Information

It would be very useful if the action uses some core.debug calls in its codebase to better track issues like this one. At the moment even with debug mode there is no output from the action itself.

Using this exact yaml:

name: "command demo"

# the workflow to execute on is comments that are newly created
on:
  issue_comment:
    types: [ created ]

# permissions needed for reacting to IssueOps commands on issues and PRs
permissions:
  pull-requests: write
  issues: write
  checks: read

jobs:
  demo:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      # execute IssueOps command logic, hooray!
      # this will be used to "gate" all future steps below
      - uses: github/command@main
        id: ping
        with:
          command: ".ping"

      # run your custom logic for your project here - example seen below

      # conditionally run some logic here
      - name: ping command
        if: ${{ steps.ping.outputs.continue == 'true' }}
        run: echo 'Got comment in PR \#${{ steps.ping.outputs.issue_number }} with params ${{ steps.ping.outputs.params }}'

I'm not sure why you are getting that error but it is almost always related to your workflow not having the correct permissions block (or a bug in my code).

I moved to branch deploy so didn't tried (nor debugged this) however I'll run it again to confirm or close the issue.

In any case the AI pull request is not so bad 😉

I made it work by adding the contents: read permission while playing with github/branch-deploy, it explicitly mentioned it in the errors compared to command.

Adding contents: read to my permissions also made this work for me.
