Visualstudio: Push failed when update GitHub workflow file

[hoffe86]

Versions

• GitHub Extension for Visual Studio version: 2.10.8.8132
• Visual Studio version: VS 2019 ENT (16.4.2)

What happened

When I try to updated a GitHub workflow file (yaml file) the push will fail with following error:

Error encountered while pushing to the remote repository: rejected features/cicd -> features/cicd (refusing to allow an OAuth App to create or update workflow .github/workflows/main.yml without workflow scope)

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Modify GitHub workflow file in a non master branch
2. Push changes to repository

Expected behavior

Visual Studio Github extensions has enough rights to create or update a workflow

Logs

Error encountered while pushing to the remote repository: rejected features/cicd -> features/cicd (refusing to allow an OAuth App to create or update workflow .github/workflows/main.yml without workflow scope)

Additional context

N/A

Seconding this issue.

This issue is referenced here. It seems that the application simply needs to be updated to request use of the workflow scope when it requests tokens.

I mainly use VS + Windows Terminal to perform git operations. It's been weeks now and this issue is still very annoying. Would be nice to get some sort of ETA.

@RehanSaeed any chance you could open a ticket here:
https://support.github.com/contact

I now work in developer support rather than on this extension. If you open a ticket, I'll be able to track it there and hopefully get it fixed!

Please mention @jcansdale so it will be routed to me. 😄

@jcansdale Done

Hey folks 👋 could you try installing the vsix/GitHub.VisualStudio.vsix artifact from here:
https://github-editor-tools.visualstudio.com/VisualStudio/_build/results?buildId=2246&view=artifacts&type=publishedArtifacts

This should request the workflow scope when authenticating. After installing it, you can re-authenticate by clicking on Add/Change Accounts:

Please let me know how you get on!

[RehanSaeed]

If I install this version, will it continue to receive updates?

[jcansdale]

@RehanSaeed you will. This version should simply be ahead of any new releases.

I'm still getting the same error.

[jcansdale]

@seanke have you re-authenticated using a recent version of GitHub for VS? That _should_ fix the issue.

Thanks, I deleted the Visual Studio Application from my github settings and that did the trick.

What does this mean?

@bakaufman I needed to remove Visual Studio from here https://github.com/settings/applications

[bakaufman]

Literally “visual studio” or "Github for VSCode”?

@bakaufman I believe it was 'Visual Studio'.

[jcansdale]

@seanke I didn't know this was possible!

I'm guessing it was the Revoke access button on this page that you clicked?
https://github.com/settings/connections/applications/a200baed193bb2088a6e

Did this force a fresh login next time you went to use GitHub for VS?

[seanke]

@jcansdale Yes, that's the one. Yes it forced a fresh login.

Revoke access for VS Code in Github applications helped fixing this issue.
