main/v0.5.0: Could not resolve to a ProjectV2 with the number

Apparently this action does not work and gives and error about failure to find the project.

Could not resolve to a ProjectV2 with the number

I tried to use both latest release @v0.5.0 and @main but the result was the same.

I know that the token is good because it used in another action that is called before this one.

I might be missing something but I also know that 🧰 devtools project board is a valid project too.

The workflow source is at https://github.com/ansible/devtools/blob/main/.github/workflows/ack.yml#L52-L58

@mattcosta7 I wonder if extra permissions as described on https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-jobs/assigning-permissions-to-jobs are needed. Still, the only permission that looks related is named repository-projects: read|write|none but to my knowledge these projects are organization level not project level.

Maybe using the implicit token does not allow this and it would only work with a personal token.

Not near a computer for a bit, but are you using a legacy personal access token, or an action token?

Due to the graphql API backing this if I recall correctly, a personal access token is required

[mattcosta7]

• github-token (required) is a personal access
  token with repo and project scopes.
  See Creating a PAT and adding it to your repository for more details

From the readme, details on that token setup

(Not trying to say read the manual or anything like that - just trying to pass along info quickly while on mobile!)

Thanks, I can confirm that this is true. I will try to make a PR to mention not to attempt to use non PATs as they will not work.
