Test PR From a external Fork

Failing to preview webpage from external Forks

To handle comments on pull requests from forks in GitHub Actions, you need to address the limitations related to the permissions of the GitHub token (GITHUB_TOKEN). When a workflow runs on a pull request from a forked repository, the default GITHUB_TOKEN has read-only permissions, which prevents it from commenting on issues or pull requests.

To overcome this, you can use a personal access token (PAT) with the necessary permissions instead of the default GITHUB_TOKEN.

Here's how you can update your workflow to use a PAT:

Create a Personal Access Token (PAT):

• Go to your GitHub account settings.
• Navigate to "Developer settings" and then to "Personal access tokens."
• Generate a new token with repo and workflow permissions.
• Store the PAT in GitHub Secrets:

Go to your repository settings.

• Navigate to "Secrets and variables" -> "Actions."
• Add a new secret named PAT_TOKEN and paste the PAT you created.
• Update your workflow to use the PAT:

  - name: Comment on PR
    uses: hasura/[email protected]
    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
    with:
      github-token: ${{ secrets.PAT_TOKEN }}
      repository: ${{ github.repository }}
      number: ${{ github.event.number }}
      id: deploy-preview
