Permissions errors with GitHub Action

[DwayneJengSage]

Hi! I'm trying out Codeball on my repository. However, I keep getting permissions errors. I have confirmed that the settings in my repo match the settings described on the README. However, no matter what I do, it keeps saying GITHUB_TOKEN Permissions PullRequests: Read.

See https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/BridgeServer2/actions/runs/4466786157/jobs/7845904574

I then tried installing the Codeball AI Writer to my repositories as a workaround to my permissions issue, and now I'm getting an Internal Server Error instead, and I'm stumped. I re-ran the action with debug information, and I'm stumped. I'm not sure how to progress from here: https://github.com/Sage-Bionetworks/BridgeServer2/actions/runs/4466786157/jobs/7846088536

Thanks in advance!

We're seeing the same issue, but only for forked PRs. I believe security policy is preventing PR write permissions for fork PRs.

Likewise seeing this issue for PRs from a repo generated from a template: https://github.com/adnauseum/one-tab-mode/actions/runs/5002092471/jobs/8961615652

☝️ I fixed my permission errors by visiting: https://github.com///settings/actions and modifying settings in Workflow permissions. It's listed in the troubleshooting docs: https://github.com/sturdy-dev/codeball-action#troubleshooting

I'm curious @keatsk and @DwayneJengSage, what do those settings look like for you? Is "Allow GitHub Actions to create and approve pull requests" checked, for example?

Yes, that's already checked for me.

Ack. Then I have nothing more for you 😭
