Error: HTTP error 401 retrieving repository node id

jarbus opened this issue a year ago · comments

Just re-set up a github bridge after it stopped working, and am trying to push changes. I can successfully reconfigure the bridge, and I have existing git-bug issues, but I can't push. When I do, I get the following errors:

$ git bug bridge push
Error: HTTP error 401 retrieving repository node id

and running git bug bridge pull hangs indefinitely

That means that the token being used for auth is invalid. Would it be possible it expired? How did you set it up?

I've tried manually creating a token and doing the interactive way when setting up a new bridge. I was able to create a token both times that seemed valid, github successfully added the token both times and gave the menu to allow git bug permissions.

Just to confirm, if you setup a new bridge, go through the interactive setup up to completion, and try to pull you get that 401?

Could it be that you try to access a private repo with a token you setup for only public ones?

I deleted all my previous tokens, and tried creating a new token interactively. This seems to have fixed the issue. I'm not sure what was causing it, but it might be that it was using an expired token.
