What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?

based on docker.io/jenkins/jenkins:2.414.2-lts-jdk17

Reproduction steps

This is a very fresh setup

1. Configure GitHub App
2. Add GitHub Organization Folder
3. Run the Organization scan
4. Run build now (or have it auto-kick off, whatever.. just make a job run 😁 )

Expected Results

Was expecting this output:

[GitHub Checks] GitHub check (name: Jenkins, status: in_progress) has been published.
[Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
[GitHub Checks] GitHub check (name: Jenkins, status: completed) has been published.

Actual Results

Got this output

[GitHub Checks] Failed Publishing GitHub checks: org.kohsuke.github.HttpException: {"message":"Resource not accessible by integration","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/checks/runs#create-a-check-run"}
[Pipeline] Start of Pipeline
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
[GitHub Checks] Failed Publishing GitHub checks: org.kohsuke.github.HttpException: {"message":"Resource not accessible by integration","documentation_url":"https://docs.github.com/rest/checks/runs#create-a-check-run"}

Anything else?

Did a bit of digging around and the only instance i found of similar to this error was JENKINS-65007, which is a dupe of JENKINS-65006.

Seems that when supporting multiple organizations became a thing for a GitHub app that the owner field may now be required?

I do not have my GitHub App installed in more than 1 organization, but I resolved the issue (see the expected results) by setting the owner on the credential.

[timja]

How did you configure the organisation folder? Did you use the GitHub SCM auth or maybe Git auth? I suspect git auth.

It's definitely not required to set that field.

[greg-swift-yohana]

[timja]

I've just checked our instance and we don't set the owner:

all our plugins are latest and we're jenkins 2.427

Your config looks right

[greg-swift-yohana]

Okay so here is what I found this morning:

1: no owner set on in Org Folder and Credential:

• Works for Checks and builds
• Errors on Organization Scan

2: Owner set in Org Folder but not on Credential: Org folder works, but checks won't publish (this ticket) 3: Owner set in Credential but not in Org folder: Works - but shows errors in the config (see new image) 4: Owner set in both Org Folder and Credential: everything is working edit 1: updated results for scenario 1 edit 2: Forgot scenario 4

[greg-swift-yohana]

And yeah, that last scenario is not a github-checks-plugin issue.

[timja]

Took awhile for me to get a chance to test this.

1. Not surprised but I would say that's invalid config.
2. I can't reproduce this.
3. I would say invalid config, you need to set the owner in the folder

On 2. is your app definitely and has the required permissions?

This: https://github.com/jenkinsci/github-branch-source-plugin/blob/master/docs/github-app.adoc

and adding the checks permission as well.
