Notes and Caveats

Github Authentication

By default we use a github-token provided by your repository to write comments back to your PR with test results. In some cases, such as when the pull request is coming from a forked repository, the default token will not have write permissions. If this is the case, you'll receive an error message in the workflow indicating such. There are a few ways you can resolve the issue but you should first check your repository action settings under Settings -> Actions -> General aren't blocking workflows from running.

Some alternatives include.

Explicit Workflow Permissions

GitHub has provided helpful documentation (opens in a new tab) to provide explicit permissions for your workflows. Make sure the Grai Action has, at minimum, write permissions for pull-request and issues. You can set this at the job level by adding a permission key in your workflow. e.g.

jobs:
  my-grai-action:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
 
    permissions:
      issues: write
      pull-requests: write

Personal Access Tokens

You can also use personal access tokens or PAT (opens in a new tab)'s in place of the default github-token. You'll need to create a token following the linked instructions but make sure to store it in your repository secrets Settings -> Secrets and variables -> Actions -> New Repository Secret. If you were to create a secret called MY_PAT you would pass it into your grai action job as

jobs:
  my-grai-action:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
 
  steps:
    - name: Checkout
      uses: actions/checkout@v4
 
    - name: Run Grai Action
      uses: grai-io/grai-actions/redshift@master
      with:
        github-token: ${{ secrets.MY_PAT }}
