Project with incorrect version

Initialy, I found the error just by looking for the last version of Pip, but...

To Reproduce

lastversion --verbose --version

Expected behavior

The version of Lastversion

Program output

The first time:

I was on a Python environment, I check for the version of Pip and get:

CRITICAL: API request was denied despite using an API token. Missing scopes?

Immediately, I deactivate the environment, run the command without arguments and get the usual:

lastversion: error: the following arguments are required: <repo URL or string>

The second time:

After running the command without arguments, I tried to get the last version of Lastversion and I get:

After that, I remembered having installed lastversion with Pipx, so I created a new environment, and after installing lastversion I get pretty much the same I think

Now, lastversion gives me only the long output.

OS: Linux fedora 6.6.4-200.fc39.x86_64
Bash version: 5.2.21(1)-release
Python version: Python 3.12.0

Remarks

I just installed Oh My Bash, it's clean, I just modified the theme

That's all I can give you for now guys, if there is some info missing sorry but I'm kinda of newbie on reporting issues on GitHub, just let me know. I will try not to update my system until I get feedback from you.

@jefebromden most likely your Github API key has expired or is incorrect. Check environment variables like GITHUB_API_TOKEN (in your ~/.bashrc for example)

Answer 2 · 2023-12-14T21:32:24.000Z

You're right, both are true:

I forgot to source my .bash_profile on the new .bashrc created by Oh My Bash. I keep all my variables and tokens there.
My token expired back in may, I haven't using GitHub for a while

Anyway, it's funny because I had been using lastversion last week, when I first installed it, without problems with the old token.

@jefebromden you must live a happy life if you can afford to not use GitHub, or tech in general, for a while :-)

Answer 4 · 2023-12-15T12:41:13.000Z

Hahaha I wish. Actually I was out due to personal problems. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a programmer or anything, coding is a growing interest since the pandemic, I'm still looking for my place on the FOSS ecosystem, I know a little about this and that. I think I prefer having an holistic view before committing to anything.

Answer 5 · 2023-12-16T07:36:15.000Z

In lastversion 3.4.4 I've included more reasons as to this failure so it's less confusing for future users. Thank you!
