does not add a webhook to github

[abrahamcalsin]

It doesn't add a webhook to my github repository when I select my project repo to sync with linear.app, it loads, but when I go back to github I don't see a webhook added.

synclinear.com

GitHub settings

PS: The first one did add a webhook, but then I deleted it and re-synced my repo, but this time it no longer added a webhook.

Thanks for raising this bug @abrahamcalsin

To clarify, when you say "the first one added a webhook", do you mean Linear or GitHub had the webhook?

Also, did you manually delete the GH webhook by chance?

These will help to troubleshoot then push a fix!

Well, the first time, it added me a webhook in github.
More on linear added me as an Authorized Application just that:

Yes, in github the webhook I deleted it manually, and when I try to sync again it doesn't recognize that I deleted it and that's why it doesn't add me a new webhook.

Thanks for clarifying, @abrahamcalsin. I'll look into adding a guardrail for manually-deleted webhooks.

In the meantime, to fix your sync, feel free to manually add the webhook back:

• Endpoint: https://synclinear.com/api
• Content type: application/json
• SSL verification: Enable
• Events: Let me select individual events -> issues, issue comments, labels

Please let me know if that doesn't work!

Well I tried to manually add a webhook and I get a 500 error, so it doesn't work.

Could it be that I am missing the secret?

I met exactly the same issue here 🙌 Thanks for the authors looking into it

@tedspare
I had the same problem.
Webhooks were added when first synchronizing. They will not be added when manually removed and then synchronized again.
Secret is missing on GitHub if I fill it in manually, so how do you get secret or can you automatically add it again when synchronizing after detecting the deleted webhooks?
