Developing package CompatHelper: The requested URL returned error: 403

General Usage

Hi All,

I’m trying to add a package for the general registry for a research work I’m about to publish. I tried following the guidelines for developing packages but I’ve been having numerous issues. The main one I’m stuck at now is the following error when CompatHelper is running:

remote: Permission to KaanKesgin/SST.jl.git denied to github-actions[bot].

(CompatHelper · KaanKesgin/SST.jl@a35ebdb · GitHub)fatal: unable to access ‘GitHub - KaanKesgin/SST.jl: The Singular Superlet Transform (SST) is a time-frequency decomposition method based on wavelet transform that can generate highly localised spectra.’: The requested URL returned error: 403

Can someone with any experience with this help me please

Did you add a Github Token to be able to push? See GitHub - JuliaRegistries/CompatHelper.jl: Automatically update the [compat] entries for your Julia package's dependencies.

Hi, @KKesgin

I’d like to offer a possible solution:

Update CompatHelper.yml

name: CompatHelper
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: 0 0 * * *
  workflow_dispatch:
jobs:
  CompatHelper:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      pull-requests: write
      contents: write
    steps:
      - name: Pkg.add("CompatHelper")
        run: julia -e 'using Pkg; Pkg.add("CompatHelper")'

Especially, this lines are important.

    permissions:
      pull-requests: write
      contents: write
