Answer 1 · 2020-05-22T18:56:43.000Z

This started happening to me as well today

Answer 2 · 2020-05-22T19:04:08.000Z

A little googling points to auth issues. But seeing as others than me have the issue, it might be a GitHub systemic issue, and not a problem with the action.

Answer 3 · 2020-05-22T19:05:43.000Z

Same issue here.

Answer 4 · 2020-05-22T19:08:55.000Z

Looks like a GitHub issue: actions/checkout#254

Answer 5 · 2020-05-22T19:18:39.000Z

Same issue here.

Answer 6 · 2020-05-22T21:15:38.000Z

Just reran my action and it's now working. @Shell32-Natsu thank you for the info!

Answer 7 · 2020-05-22T21:21:09.000Z

@OnyxPrime Unfortunately mine is still failing. 😂

Answer 8 · 2020-05-22T21:26:29.000Z

@Shell32-Natsu mine just stopped working again! 🤦‍♂️ So frustrating

Answer 9 · 2020-05-23T00:49:04.000Z

Uh oh, sorry I didn't see this earlier! Is this working for everyone now? I just checked with my test repo and it seems to be working.

Answer 10 · 2020-05-23T02:01:14.000Z

@JamesIves It works for me now. Although the githubstatus.com still says it's not completely fixed.

Answer 11 · 2020-05-23T12:51:36.000Z

Yep, GitHub fixed whatever was going on. Closing the issue.

Answer 12 · 2020-05-23T20:19:39.000Z

@JamesIves I have been getting a

##[error]The deploy step encountered an error: The process '/usr/bin/rsync' failed with exit code 23 ❌

all day to day. Is this a new issue (different error) or is it still a github bug?

Full log here for reference: https://github.com/egil/bunit/runs/702589534?check_suite_focus=true

Answer 13 · 2020-05-24T16:27:41.000Z

If the error is throwing on rsync that is a different issue. You're most likely passing a folder path that doesn't exist when the workflow runs. If you need a hand debugging please open a new issue.

Answer 14 · 2020-05-24T17:02:36.000Z

No your right. It was a error in the previous step that was not picked up on, and there was no folder.

Btw. If possible, you could check if the folder exists and provide a helpful error message to save users like me from themselves 😉

Happy to do that! Could you open up a feature request?

Answer 16 · 2020-06-13T12:44:35.000Z

I have the same error @JamesIves

Answer 17 · 2020-06-17T11:29:20.000Z

Not sure if related. I am trying to deploy to a different repository. Is this configuration ok? I did have one succesful run to the same repo with gh-pages branch.

Answer 18 · 2020-06-17T13:05:54.000Z

You'll need to use an access token to deploy across different repos.
