[$250] Cannot create Webook

[maxceem]

Topcoder-X stopped working for one of my repo where it previously worked, it didn't react to assigning Topcoder-X labels. So I decided trying to re-create webhooks. First I removed existent webhook from the repo, and then I tried to create it again using Topcoder X UI, but got an error:

Failed to create webhook. 404 error making request post https://api.github.com/repos/topcoder-platform/taas-apis/hooks: "Not Found".

• Repo address https://github.com/topcoder-platform/taas-apis

[jmgasper]

@maxceem - What sort of access rights do you have to that repo?

[maxceem]

@jmgasper I'm admin there

[jmgasper]

@afrisalyp - Any idea on this one?

[jmgasper]

@afrisalyp - I think that we're running into one of the "brown outs" listed here:

https://developer.github.com/changes/2020-02-10-deprecating-auth-through-query-param

We'll need to fix this ASAP, thanks!

[afrisalyp]

@jmgasper Okay, going to check it.

[afrisalyp]

@jmgasper Fixes provided to support the Github API changes.

[jmgasper]

@afrisalyp - Thanks!

@maxceem - This should start working again shortly, and we'll plan a production deploy for next week to apply the permanent fix.

[afrisalyp]

@jmgasper The fix addresses the Github API change.

I am still investigating the problem Failed to create webhook. 404 error making request post https://api.github.com/repos/topcoder-platform/taas-apis/hooks: "Not Found".. Seems it is not related to the API change.

Any idea?

[jmgasper]

@afrisalyp - Sorry, I just assumed it was failing because of the incorrect token approach. I'll open up a separate ticket to keep investigating.

@maxceem - Can you try again now please? I'm interested to see if this is still an issue now that the brownout is over in the Github API.

@maxceem - In Topcoder-X (x.topcoder.com) can you try going into settings, revoking your Github token, and then renewing it please?

[maxceem]

@jmgasper revoking GitHub token and setting it up again didn't help, see demo video https://monosnap.com/file/oOxHDY3nYchkZWNIu8rTsJ1qMh0rlv. It didn't redirect me anywhere during setting up a new token, not sure if this is expected or no.

[afrisalyp]

@maxceem

Can you please try to revoke the TCX apps in the Github Applications setting?

Then please try to revoke and re-setup again on the TCX website. It will take us to the Github authorization page.

Please make sure that you have been granted to the organisation.

[maxceem]

Thanks for details @afrisalyp this time I've managed to reauthorize the topcoder-x app, but it didn't help in general.

After I removed the application from my settings, and click revoke/setup inside Topcoder-X settings, it did redirect me to the authorise app page, and I can see access to the organisations is there:

Though when I'm trying to re-created webhooks I got the same error:

Btw, I gave it a try with another repository from the same organisation and it did work:

This is super weird as I'm admin in both repos. And in both repos TopcoderX worked for me before.

[afrisalyp]

Thanks @maxceem

Btw, can you open the webhook setting like this?
Also, please try Add Webhook on the page to see if the functionality is working in the Github website.

[maxceem]

Sure @afrisalyp here is how the page looks like

I've added some hook using example.com URL and it worked good:

After that I've tried again to use Topcoder X, but got error again

[afrisalyp]

@maxceem

That's weird :)

Can you please help to check with this curl command.
It will get the current hooks and post a new one.
You will need to generate PAT with admin:repo_hook scope.

Let see if it works.

curl -u username:PAT \
  -X GET \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/topcoder-platform/taas-apis/hooks

curl -u username:PAT \
  -X POST \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.github.v3+json" \
  https://api.github.com/repos/topcoder-platform/taas-apis/hooks \
  -d '{"name":"web", "active": true, "events": ["push","pull_request","create","commit_comment","issue_comment","issues","label"], "config": { "url": "https://example.com/github-hooks", "content_type": "json", "secret":"test123"}}'

[maxceem]

@afrisalyp yeah, super weird :)

I've tried these commands and both worked good to me:

[afrisalyp]

@jmgasper

Can you please help to check in the DB record?
I am wondering to see the owner of the project.
I'm afraid that the owner is not the same as the copilot (maxceem).

Please check records in the Project table with repoUrl:

• https://github.com/topcoder-platform/taas-apis
• https://github.com/topcoder-platform/taas-es-processor

Thanks.

[jmgasper]

@afrisalyp - I've requested these details.

[afrisalyp]

@jmgasper

Sure thanks.

[jmgasper]

@afrisalyp / @maxceem - veshu was the owner on the taas-apis project. I've had that switched back to @maxceem so we can try again, thanks!

[maxceem]

Thank you @jmgasper @afrisalyp it helped!

Just for reference: veshu was a copilot for this repo more than a half of year ago. He removed himself, and I've configured this repo to my handle at that time. And for half of a year it worked good with my handle until a few days ago when Topcoder X sopped reacting on the TCX labels.
I'm not sure what might happen recently that caused this issue.

[afrisalyp]

Thanks, @jmgasper @maxceem.

Most TCX functionalities that need Github access such as auto commenting and labelling uses copilot access.
But other functionalities like creating hook use the owner access (who create the project in TCX web) as we assumed that in some cases owners may have higher access role than copilots.

Any idea on this?

[jmgasper]

@afrisalyp - Yeah, I've been discussing with Topcoder. I think for now we'll just chalk this up as an edge case.
