Same happens when running on a debian server.

With and without using smee.

Are the events showing up on smee?

Any update on this issue? I am facing the same issue. I am unable to receive any logs.

[MaximDevoir]

Can you verify that events are being emitted from GitHub (go to your apps -> Edit -> Advanced -> Recent Deliveries)?

From there, is Smee receiving those deliveries from GitHub?

[johnsonsamuel]

Thanks @MaximDevoir for your reply. The events were emitted once I gave the permission to read my code base. Is this how it is supposed to work ? Just curious..

[MaximDevoir]

If you have read access on the contents permission, you will be able to read a user's codebase/repository file contents. If you have the push event enabled and no access on contents, you will receive a payload with some meta information each time someone pushes to the repo, but you will not have access to the code contents.

Take a look at these resources:

• GitHub App Permissions. You can see which permissions you will need to enable to access the resource.
• Event Types & Payloads.

Thanks for jumping in to help here @MaximDevoir. @johnsonsamuel, it sounds like you hadn't installed the app on the repository - GitHub Apps work by being installed on a repo to get the access and subscriptions it needs for that given repo. You can learn more about that here: https://developer.github.com/apps/differences-between-apps/#who-can-install-github-apps-and-authorize-oauth-apps

I'll close this out because I think your question has been answered, but if not feel free to reopen!
