404 on PUT content with content: write permissions set

[apricot13]

Hi there, I'm at a loss with updating the contents of a file using the rest api. I'm getting a 404 not found error when updating a file using github actions.

I can get the contents but not update it. I've seen others have the same issue with permissions and I'm fairly confident I've tried all the permissions things I know of but maybe theres something I missed. Its worth mentioning that the repo is an organisation one and not a personal one if that makes any difference.

• I'm including the sha of the existing file
• I've manually set my permissions so I am sure I have correct access to Contents with the GITHUB_TOKEN contents: write
• I've set all sorts of combinations of Accept: "application/vnd.github+json",

My github_token permissions from the actions:

GITHUB_TOKEN Permissions
  Contents: write
  Issues: read
  Metadata: read

I can see from here that contents:write is needed for my calls and my GET issues call works fine along with my GET content one its just PUT content that fails.

async function updateReadMe(generatedData) {
  try {
    console.log("Getting current ROADMAP.md");
    const res = await request(
      `GET /repos/wearefuturegov/Outpost-Platform/contents/create-roadmap/ROADMAP.md`,
      {
        headers: {
          Accept: "application/vnd.github+json",
          "X-GitHub-Api-Version": "2022-11-28",
          authorization: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN,
        },
      }
    );
    const { path, sha, content, encoding, size, html_url } = res.data;

    console.log(`Current version SHA: ${sha}. ${html_url}`);
    if (sha) {
      commitNewReadme(path, sha, encoding, generatedData);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.log(error);
  }
}

async function commitNewReadme(path, sha, encoding, updatedContent) {
  try {
    console.log("Updating current ROADMAP.md with new version");
    const updatedRoadmap = await request(
      `PUT /repos/wearefuturegov/Outpost-Platform/contents/create-roadmap/ROADMAP.md`,
      {
        owner: "wearefuturegov",
        repo: "Outpost-Platform",
        message: "Update ROADMAP",
        content: Buffer.from("Test", "utf-8").toString(encoding),
        path: "create-roadmap/ROADMAP.md",
        committer: [{ name: "fg-dev bot", email: "[email protected]" }],
        sha,
        type: "file",
        encoding: "base64",
        headers: {
          Accept: "application/vnd.github+json",
          "X-GitHub-Api-Version": "2022-11-28",
          authorization: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN,
        },
      }
    );

    console.log(`Roadmap update committed: ${updatedRoadmap.commit.html_url}`);
  } catch (err) {
    console.log(err);
  }
}

And my github action

name: Update roadmap readme
on:
  issues:
    types: [labeled, unlabeled]
jobs:
  buildRoadmap:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
      issues: read
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - uses: actions/setup-node@v3
        with:
          node-version: 16

      - name: Install dependencies
        run: npm ci

      - name: Create roadmap
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
          COMMIT_CHANGE: true
        run: npm run build-roadmap

This is the result I'm getting

Hey @apricot13
Did you find the solution for this problem. I am stuck on the same thing.
