`auto-configure` setting does not create a namespace and Repository CRD

[Stringls]

Hi, folks!

I set the value for auto-configure-new-github-repo to True

apiVersion: v1
data:
  application-name: Pipelines as Code CI
  auto-configure-new-github-repo: "true"
  auto-configure-repo-namespace-template: "{{repo_name}}-pipeline"
  bitbucket-cloud-additional-source-ip: ""
  bitbucket-cloud-check-source-ip: "true"
  default-max-keep-runs: ""
  error-detection-from-container-logs: "false"
  error-detection-max-number-of-lines: "50"
  error-detection-simple-regexp: |
    ^(?P<filename>[^:]*):(?P<line>[0-9]+):(?P<column>[0-9]+):([ ]*)?(?P<error>.*)
  error-log-snippet: "true"
  hub-catalog-name: tekton
  hub-url: https://api.hub.tekton.dev/v1
  max-keep-run-upper-limit: ""
  remote-tasks: "true"
  secret-auto-create: "true"
  secret-github-app-scope-extra-repos: "Stringls/artie"
  secret-github-app-token-scoped: "true"
  tekton-dashboard-url: ""
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  labels:
    app.kubernetes.io/part-of: pipelines-as-code
    app.kubernetes.io/version: v0.15.5
  name: pipelines-as-code
  namespace: pipelines-as-code

But when I try to add a new repository to my CI workflow it fails because of no namespace created

cannot find a namespace match for https://github.com/Stringls/test-repo

What I am doing wrong?

hello 👋🏽 does your GitHub app configured for repository event? :)

[cmoulliard]

I'm also getting the same message on my PR - https://github.com/ch007m/pac-demo/pull/1/checks. The github app has been created according to the following doc page: https://pipelinesascode.com/docs/install/github_apps/#setup-manually

yeah the event is missing there, as it is an optional feature https://pipelinesascode.com/docs/install/settings/ here you can see

auto-configure-new-github-repo

If you have a GitHub App already setup then verify if the `repository` event is subscribed into your Github App setting.

also to clarify this feature is for new repositories created in your github user/org will be auto-configured by creating a namespace and repository CR.

@sm43 Is there any plans to support the existent repos for this automation feature as well? E.g. I have the existent repo and I want to simply add the pipelinerun definition into .tekton/ folder to enable CI on it

[chmouel]

@anton-livewyer there is no plans for this at the moment. having a catch all namespace for all pipeline may be something we can have with a regexp kind of matching for the repo URL but that's not planned at the moment...
