Bors crashes on r+

Support
#1

Since last Friday our private bors installation (which has been fairly recent updated, we’re currently at https://github.com/bors-ng/bors-ng/commit/2d465e27caac59ba3945f54c3ba10594b7cf329a) fails to process any merge request (bors r+). Bors tries still work though.

The error in the bors logs shows:

08:39:25.361 [error] GenServer #PID<0.1926.0> terminating

as we’re desperate, we’re going to upgrade to latest master even though we can’t find anything specific to this error.

TIA,

Upgraded to latest master, but still no success. I'm almost convinced it's a GH permissions problem now, we'll check those as well, but it's going through its process as we need to find the person with the right permissions :slight_smile:

#3

finally it’s solved! Bors had no access to the GH checks , after granting read access to GH checks everything started working again.

We’re not sure why bors-ng did not have access to checks: if they were revoked or were never there in the first place. Anyways it’s working again!

thanks for this @unicolet

was just troubleshooting the same

I feel github must have changed some permission structure as this was never an issue before…
