Does this project still work?

I’m rather perplexed as I’ve tried all manner of things to attempt to get this project running and just haven’t been able to. This is confusing to me as it seems like a decent number of blogs rely on this project to operate but the documentation for this entire project is outdated and wrong in many places.

My environment

I’m trying to connect my personal website:

• Username: alexwaibel
• Repo name: alexwaibel.github.io
• Heroku mirror of Staticman: https://staticman-alex-waibel-mirror.herokuapp.com/
  • Instance variables which I’ve set:
    • GITHUB_TOKEN
    • RSA_PRIVATE_KEY

What I’ve tried so far

• I’ve attempted to call a GET https://staticman-alex-waibel-mirror.herokuapp.com/v2/connect/alexwaibel/alexwaibel.github.io
  • This gets me a HTTP 500 which I think is indicative of a problem with the current master branch. I get the following error if I run the server in debug mode:
• I’ve attempted to call a GET https://api.staticman.net//v2/connect/alexwaibel/alexwaibel.github.io
  • This is met with HTTP 503

Some digging

It seems maybe this problem comes from the connect controller not passing an API version to the Github helper. I’d try changing this myself to test it but I can’t even get the server to start 😦

It seems someone may have broken the latest build. This repo seems to be kind of a mess. Is there a maintainer still? If so, are you accepting contributors? This is a dependency for my website and I’ve got some free time lately.

To answer my own question, this project in the current state of the master branch does not work. The express server does not start and many tests are failing. I’ve been granted contributor rights and will be working on restoring this repo to working order.

@alexwaibel Sorry for late reply. The only thing that I remembered now is PR #<span></span>219.
