Issues when releasing 4.0.0b2

[jtpio]

Tracking issues that happened during the 4.0.0b2 release.

HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized

Trying to use the workflows from the repo directly kept giving 401 errors: HTTP Error 401: Unauthorized:

This could be related to the bot ADMIN_GITHUB_TOKEN.

Packages not available on npm yet

This looks like an issue on npm which might be fixed automatically after a while. It is still 4.0.0-beta.1 for now although the publish step seems to have gone though: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jupyterlab/application?activeTab=versions

For reference the release workflow was done from the releaser fork because of the issue mentioned above: https://github.com/jtpio/jupyter_releaser/actions/runs/4794491472/jobs/8527930831

Not sure there is much we can do for now. Will open a ticket on npm if the issue persists.

Once the npm issue is fixed I will undraft the release manually:

I just sent a message to the npm support.

For reference everything seems fine at the moment according to https://status.npmjs.org:

Ah the status is now showing "Degraded performance of npm publish": https://status.npmjs.org/incidents/nhmby0vny5xy

Looks like it's been resolved:

The GitHub Release has now been undrafted: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/releases/tag/v4.0.0b2

Leaving the issue open for now to double check the bot token is correct, so it's not an issue for future releases.

Closing the issue, as the discussion about the token is now happening in jupyterlab/frontends-team-compass#190.
