Please add backstroke-bot with read permission to the repo

[thtliife]

As per: backstrokeapp/server#27
When forking cra in order to maintain a custom --scripts-version, using backstroke to keep the fork updated against this repo is very convenient.
This is not possible if backstroke-bot does not have read access...

[Timer]

I'm not sure if that issue applies to us, we're not a private repository

[thtliife]

I wonder why I am not able to get it working then... ?
@Timer do you know of any repos that have gotten this working?

[Timer]

I do not know of any, sorry. I'm sure they exist somewhere! What sort of error are you getting?

[thtliife]

Uhh, error: {"message":"Validation Failed","errors":[{"message":"The listed users and repositories cannot be searched either because the resources do not exist or you do not have permission to view them.","resource":"Search","field":"q","code":"invalid"}],"documentation_url":"https://developer.github.com/v3/search/"}

that is if I try the classic mode, which is not well supported anymore...
when trying to use the standard mode, I get:
No permission to add a webhook to the repository facebookincubator/create-react-app. Make sure thtliife has given Backstroke permission to access this organisation or repo via OAuth.
And obviously, I (@thtliife) am not able to give backstroke permission...

[Timer]

I believe you already found it, but I would try using backstroke classic as described here: #682 (comment).

[Timer]

Are you trying to add backstroke to our repository instead of yours? The error seems to be hinting towards that. Make sure you're using https://github.com/thtliife/create-react-app-storybook-scripts-fork

[thtliife]

I am trying to add it to my fork...

[Timer]

After reading the docs, I think those roles should be switched. From should be your repo, To should be create-react-app.

[thtliife]

would that not try to sync pushes from my repo to cra's?

[Timer]

I'm not sure really, their docs are so confusing. The way you have it pictured is the logical way, but who knows. Once we figure this out we can go ahead and document it for posterity. I'd appreciate if you could do some more research, @thtliife.

[thtliife]

oh no problems @Timer
Manually refactoring everything from the recent webpack 2 release of cra was painful...
I'll be sure to get this working... and once I have, I'd be happy to make a pr for the doco...

[thtliife]

In the meantime, I have opened backstrokeapp/server#52 to try to get some clarity...

[thtliife]

I wonder though, if its something to do with the monorepo setup, and maybe backstroke's handling of such a repo?

[1egoman]

@thtliife @Timer I'm the creator of Backstroke.

I left a comment on the issue on the Backstroke repo: backstrokeapp/server#52 (comment)

I'm going to take a look at Backstroke's docs tonight and see what I can do to make them more clear. Any feedback / suggestions would be very helpful.

[thtliife]

@1egoman @Timer
It looks to be ok now :)
I can successfully create a link on https://backstroke.us
and testing with curl returns

{
	"status": "ok",
	"output": {
		"status": "ok",
		"pullRequest": {
			"msg": "There's already a pull request for this repo, no need to create another."
		},
		"isEnabled": true,
		"many": false,
		"forkCount": 1
	}
}

[Timer]

Perfect, thanks! @thtliife can you please update #779?

[thtliife]

@Timer will do :)
