curl install the cli fails (github action)

[tibotiber]

Hi,

I'm the maintainer of the Hasura GitHub action. A user has reported a failed install of the CLI in his action workflow, see tibotiber/hasura-action#5. We're unable to figure out why this may be happening on his end only, while other users have no issues. Would you mind having a look at that issue and assisting?

Thanks,
Thibaut

We get this too when running the curl -L https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/raw/stable/cli/get.sh | bash command described on https://hasura.io/docs/1.0/graphql/manual/hasura-cli/install-hasura-cli.html#install-a-binary-globally.

The problem appears to be when the script calls this - https://releases.hasura.io/graphql-engine?agent=cli-get.sh it receives an HTTP 500 with the response body {"error":"contacting github api failed"}

This is blocking our builds. Can anyone help? I guess we shouldn't have a dependency on the curl -L https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/raw/stable/cli/get.sh | bash command in our build process

This happens for us as well. The https://releases.hasura.io/graphql-engine?agent=cli-get.sh endpoint goes down pretty frequently and blocks all of our builds.

facing the same issue . any Workarounds ?

still experiencing this issue from time to time

At this point I'm just going to copy the script and hardcode the version because the endpoint goes down multiple times a day causing all of our builds to fail.

Should be fixed in #6215, feel free to reopen if it still persists.
