Hello !
I have exactly the same problem. I'm on MacOS 13.3.1 and behind a proxy (configured in VSCode).
The extension's GUI is OK (you can clearly see the workflows of my repo) but the api calls made to github.com in the background when editing a workflow file are in timeout.

When I test that out of proxy, everything is OK.

The discussion at #127 seems to reject a proxy problem but I think it is the cause.

Similar issue here, but only for certain actions

I have the exact same issue, but in my case the given error is ECONNRESET rather than ETIMEDOUT. Otherwise identical issue.

[michaelsoriano]

same issue here.

[cmanage1]

same issue with serverless/github-action@v3.2

[tvanantwerp]

Any updates on this issue?

Every single action I try to use has this error, and it's been ongoing for months.

Re-authorization in VSCode helped me solve the problem

[elasticdotventures]

This extension shouuld detect that the authorization is no longer valid and attempt to renew/refresh the github token.

For others, if you want to confirm this is your issue - In vscode you can go to the OUTPUT then select "Github Actions" and you'll see messages about how authentication has failed.

I have quite a few plugins which use github tokens and so it's possible this problem is related to interaction between them.

This seems to fix it. It seems like a bug that needs to be investigated.
