Hmm looks very much like this error https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/issues/394, let me respond there

[gr2m]

Duplicate of https://github.com/semantic-release/semantic-release/issues/394

[gr2m]

lol I created an issue about this myself a while ago: https://github.com/semantic-release/cli/issues/47

I hope to catch up with semantic-release things soon :)

[zeke]

creating a Hook requires admin rights.

@gr2m I'm not sure that's the same issue. I'm using a privileged GitHub user.

[gr2m]

ohhh ok, hmmm. Can you try to make that github user an owner and try again? I’m guessing now, I’m out of ideas right now :/

[zeke]

@gr2m you were right it was the user.

I already have it set up with @zeke but would prefer to use @electron-bot now that it has admin permission to the repo. Should I be able to just run semantic-release-cli setup in the project directory again? Tried that but I'm still getting an error.

[gr2m]

I’ll need to reproduce the issue. I’ll do the following steps

1. create a new organization with a repository
2. invite a 2nd user, give the user admin rights
3. make sure the user as admin rights on the repository (@zeke maybe double check that in your setup?)
4. run semantic-release on that repository

If you could run through that, maybe invitem myself as the 2nd user, that’d be helpful :)

[gr2m]

I was just able to reproduce the error. Even when making my bot account an org owner, I still get the error. I'm looking into it

[gr2m]

Okay, at least in my case, the problem was that I created a new github user which did not yet login to travis. When logging in to travis for the first time you have to authorize the travis-ci OAuth app. Once I did that, the error went away.

I'm sure we can provide a better error message in that case. I'll leave the issue open as a reminder

[zeke]

When logging in to travis for the first time you have to authorize the travis-ci OAuth app.

✅ Worked for me. Thanks!
