[Bug]: [META] Error during publishing, mostly because of GitHub REST API.

[Mara-Li]

Command used

Upload single current active note

Plugin version

7.6.1

Describe the bug

In some condition, user can't publish their own files, while the error can't be replicated on my side:

• [Bug]: The 'Default folder' path has been URL encoded #388
• [Bug]: Publishing md file was unsuccessful #387

Users get errors:

• 422 : /git/refs
• 500 : /repos/{user}/{name}/contents/{filepath}
• 409 : /repos/{user}/{name}/contents/{filepath}
• 422 : /repos/{user}/{name}/pulls

How to reproduce ?

Unknow.
Sometimes with incorrect Token the issue can be reproduced.

---

Theories

• Incorrect configured PAT with expiration date
• PAT are shared somehow (sync?) and was deleted / inactivated by GitHub after detection.

Hey, just my 2 cents.

A Quartz Syncer users with over 5k notes was previously experiencing similar issues. In that case it was related to GitHub REST API rate limiting. Back then, I would fetch every file individually, which would quickly hit the 60k hourly request limit.

This issue also sometimes arises on shared networks, such as university wifi, as they tend to share the hourly limit.

[Mara-Li]

Yeah, but i fetch the rate limite (for connected user) and I stop / throw a specific error when it's connected to rate limit, even secondary one (https://docs.github.com/en/rest/using-the-rest-api/rate-limits-for-the-rest-api?apiVersion=2022-11-28#staying-under-the-rate-limit) but it could be that :/

Is there any progress?I can't purge depublished and deleted files because of 422(/repos/{user}/{name}/pulls)

[Mara-Li]

Sorry :/ I didn't find how to repro for each people… :/ Maybe you reach the rate limit ?
I tried a lot of things but didn't come to a fix.

No,I didn't reach the rate limit.

Ahh.I can purge depublished and deleted files after I set "File tree in repository" to Obsidian Path...

Hi,
I'm running into publishing problems. First, I tried to use a fine-grained token with no success, then a classical token (repo+workflow). These are the errors I end up with, 100% reproducible. I can see no activity in my repo; no old branches, no PRs etc.

[Mara-Li]

Without more (console.log) I think you should check the main branch configured…?

[carlrobert]

The main branch is configured as the default. After several tries, I got it to upload though I don't understand why. By mistake, I did "Refresh published and upload new notes". After that, it seems "Upload single current active note" works.

BTW, it seems the generated branch name is today's date which confused me. I tried to do independent edits of two different files and uploading them individually. Both changes seem to end up on the same branch, due to the way branches are named. Maybe I'm missing something?
