Unable to Add GitHub Gist as Task Repository

Versions:

   Version: 2024-03 (4.31.0)
   Build id: 20240307-1437

Problem :

I'm encountering an error when attempting to add a new task repository of type "GitHub Gist." Regardless of the URL format used, I receive the message: Enter a valid server URL.

Here are the specific URLs I've tried (replacing with my actual username):

https://gist.github.com (Base URL)
https://gist.github.com/<my-github-user> (My User Gists)
https://gist.github.com/<other-valid-github-user> (Another User's Gists)
https://gist.github.com/discover (Discover Gists)

Additionally, I have attempted using:

Valid user credentials (username and password)
Valid access token

Unfortunately, using any of these options prevents the expected functionality. The buttons "Validate Settings" and "Finish" remain disabled.

How to reproduce:

1. Go to the contextual menu in the Task List tab, then click New and then Query...

2. in the emergent dialog, click in Add Task Repository button, and then select from the list GitHub Gist and then click theNext button

3. Here is the problem

This is not easy to fix. We have taken over responsibility from another project. As far as I can see, the problem is that the gist URL is validated with org.eclipse.egit.github.core.RepositoryId.createFromUrl. Gist URLs have no owner and no name segment like repositories. I don't know how this has ever worked.

Do you mean that you are barely taking ownership of this project, I guess?

Where is the code you are referring too Here? I would like to take a look, may you facilitate a link?

I don't know how this has ever worked.

@BeckerFrank thank you for following up on the subject. It was my first time trying to use it. Maybe they made it available but non-functional
