My deployment 'Needs_approval' ?

Hello!

I've used GitHub deployment trigger to auto deploy my app once a day.

name: Daily Railway Deployment Trigger
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: "0 5 * * *"

jobs:
  trigger_deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: write
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Create empty commit
        run: |
          git config --local user.email "github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com"
          git config --local user.name "github-actions[bot]"
          git commit --allow-empty -m "Trigger daily deployment"
          git push

Now it suddenly stopped with 'Needs_approval' message. How do I bypass it?

Thanks

unleashing-depin, how many people are deploying to your app?

Hello Angelo. Sorry I'm not sure what you mean by "the bot that triggers your deployment". I just created empty commits every day with github workflow .yml file. I'm the only one person using my private repos.

Gotcha- if your Railway account is linked to your GitHub, it should work then.

Nope, I still see 'Deploy this commit from an external contributor?'. This all happens in single github account in one private repo with single user. 841ba519-e06f-4b85-b455-2b2846dd440e

Hmmm- sorry for the obtuse line of questioning, are you using a GH personal access to deploy it? Even it's it's tied to your account, bot workflows seem to be throwing off our system.

(Either way, I will raise this bug.)

Angelo, don't worry about questions. Sorry not sure what personal access is. It's my own private github repo, and all extra configuration I have is stored in my .yml workflow file I mentioned in first message.

I guess I am confused as to why it won't deploy when your account is connected: https://github.com/evgrekov/

[Edit] WAIT:

No that is a different user than the one you have in your GH.

When I look at the logs, that "Trigger daily deployment" is using a workflow token. Can you show me the workflow logs and the token it's using?

Sorry I'm don't know how to get token and if is It safe to share it here. Also this is a public thread I'd like my data such as repo and urls to be deleted please.

These are no more config than I mentioned - I just placed .yml workflow file in the root of my repo and it make empty commits every day. I use this exact file across multiple project, you can test it too. It used to trigger deployment before.

Hello -- is there an update on this issue? I am running into it as well. I understand the "extra security" feature. But in this case, we are talking about a GitHub Bot that we would want to be able to push to the repo and deploy. How do we get that approved? Here is the related snippet from my workflow file.

git config --local user.email "action@github.com"

git config --local user.name "GitHub Action"

Hey all,

Yes, we just pushed a fix that should unblock y'all- can you confirm that GH webhook pushes go through?

Thanks,
Angelo
