staticman failing to create pull request

[hendrixjoseph]

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to the Popcorn demo site.
• Enter a review.
• Hit submit.

Result: an error dialog appears ("Error Sorry, there was an error with the submission!")

A new branch will be created, but there will be no pull request. For instance, this is the file in the branch when I tried - https://github.com/eduardoboucas/popcorn/blob/staticman_d5564aa0-86cd-11e8-bce9-2fc4fd410763/_data/reviews/entry1531507924416.yml

I notices this on my own blog as well, but got a more detailed response:

{
   "success":false,
   "rawError":{
      "code":403,
      "status":"Forbidden",
      "message":"{\"message\":\"At least one email address must be verified to do that.\",
           \"documentation_url\":\"https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-email-address-to-your-github-account\"}"
   },
   "errorCode":"GITHUB_CREATING_PR"
}

Exact same issue with my two websites using staticman:

{
   "success":false,
   "rawError":{
      "code":403,
      "status":"Forbidden",
      "message":"{\"message\":\"At least one email address must be verified to do that.\",
           \"documentation_url\":\"https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-email-address-to-your-github-account\"}"
   },
   "errorCode":"GITHUB_CREATING_PR"
}

I just verified that this is the same error from the Popcorn demo site

{
    "success": false,
    "rawError": {
        "code": 403,
        "status": "Forbidden",
        "message": "{\"message\":\"At least one email address must be verified to do that.\",\"documentation_url\":\"https://help.github.com/articles/adding-an-email-address-to-your-github-account\"}"
    },
    "errorCode": "GITHUB_CREATING_PR"
}

is this some change in github's platform, or is there no email associated with staticman?

also, if I go to the GitHub page for @staticmanapp (https://github.com/staticmanapp) I get a 500 server error. it doesn't happen with anyone else's user page

Hi @eduardoboucas,

I see the same issue as reported by @hendrixjoseph and @MiKatre on my blog,

• https://github.com/nfreear/nfreear.github.io

• GitHub docs: adding-an-email-address-to-your-github-account

Yours,

Nick

Facing this same issue as well.

👍 on this. Same issue here.

[eduardoboucas]

Something really odd is going on. When I try to sign in to GitHub as staticmanapp (the user account used by the public instance to create the pull requests), I get that 500 page. No additional information whatsoever.

I'll try to find out what's going on, but it's definitely something that changed on the GitHub side.

It seems that bot account has no verified email address set. It is probably security change on the github side. I think verifying email address would probably solve it.

[eduardoboucas]

I thought the email was verified, but apparently that wasn't the case. Anyway, I managed to do this, but I still see a 500 page when I try to access the profile.

Can anyone confirm if the API errors still persist?

Thanks!

[Stanko]

@eduardoboucas works here! Thank you for the fast turnaround! 🎉

[hendrixjoseph]

all good here. @staticmanapp is no longer showing a 500 error for me either https://github.com/staticmanapp

[jloisel]

I confirm it's working on our side too.

[eduardoboucas]

Great. Thanks all!
