Question: badge is not updated automatically

[Belco90]

I don't think this is exactly a bug (as I see this working fine in other projects), but I can't get the "all contributors" badge automatically updated properly in my repo, so I guess something is wrong in my config but I can't find what is it.

This is my repo. I set it up first with the CLI and then switched to the bot, I don't know if that could affect the badge but the bot modified some stuff added from the CLI so I assumed everything was fine. I have checked the docs and the only thing I can find related to the badge is the config to customize the template, but I suppose I don't need to set that.

Can you help me with this? Thanks :)

When you set the configuration (read the .all-contributorsrc file), did you replied yes to the badge update question?

[Belco90]

Sure! That added the badge automatically for me actually.

[Berkmann18]

Did it got updated since?

[Belco90]

Not really: it started at 0 and I updated manually at some point after adding some contributors and not getting the badge automatically updated.

Here you have an example: https://github.com/Belco90/eslint-plugin-testing-library/pull/33/files

You can see it's adding a new contributor but not updating the badge.

Also included with CLI, if I remove the comments <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:START - Do not remove or modify this section --> and <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:END --> it doesn't update the badge number, but if I keep the comment, the badge appears broken on Github and it show the text

@Belco90 @jonastg Does that happen only with the latest CLI version?

[jonastg]

@Berkmann18 First time using all-contributors, installed "all-contributors-cli": "^6.9.3"

Our project is also having this issue. I followed your docs to set it up & have used the bot from the start. I've been manually updating the badge occasionally but am planning to remove it for now.

Any idea what might be causing this? I tried adding the badgeTemplate option but that didn't fix it.

(Great project BTW! Loving it aside from this issue)

[Berkmann18]

@samajammin Hmm, I'm really not sure of what is causing this.
Perhaps the others from @all-contributors/core may know more about that.

I can confirm that this bug exist.
I also had the bot make a PR which had the .all-contributorsrc file created and at a later point added another user, but the bot didn't update the badge, so I had to manually update it.
What solutions/ideas do you guys have?

I saw that you need <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:START - Do not remove or modify this section --> and <!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:END--> around the badge?
Can I set this on the same line because I want to have multiple badges on the same line.

[Berkmann18]

As far as I can tell, the bot doesn't use an up-to-date version of the CLI which I've noticed when the Markdown placeholder comments in the README differ when the CLI generated the table from when it's the bot which does it.

The issue might lie on the CLI but based on the above comments it seems to be more on the bot' side.

Hey yall.

We recently rolled out a fix for this, we've documented the steps need (i.e. need the tags now) here: https://allcontributors.org/docs/en/bot/faq#all-contributors-badge-count-does-not-update

[Andre601]

Can this also be made like this, when you set the style to [badge]: <link>?

<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:START - Do not remove or modify this section -->
[badge]: https://img.shields.io/badge/all_contributors-13-orange.svg?style=flat-square
<!-- ALL-CONTRIBUTORS-BADGE:END -->

[![badge]](#contributors)

I want to have the links for badges and sites in one place to easier maintain it.

[jakebolam]

You should be able to do this, using the badge template configuration field. https://allcontributors.org/docs/en/bot/configuration
