Cannot create new Gist File

So far, I’ve been able to do the following:

Authenticate with a user token.

GitHub gitHub = GitHub.connectUsingOAuth(token);
boolean authenticated = gitHub.isCredentialValid();

Once authenticated I’ve been able to…

Pull list of users gists:

gitHub.getMyself().listGists()

Create NEW Gists with a file included:

gitHub.createGist()
     .file(filename,contents)
     .description(description)
     .public_(isPublic)
     .create();

Delete Gists:

gitHub.getGist(gistId).delete();

Get a list of files within a given gist:

GHGist gist = gitHub.getGist(gistId);
List<String> fileNameList = new ArrayList<>();
for (String filename : gist.getFiles().keySet()) {
     fileNameList.add(filename);
}

Though I cannot get the contents of a file this way, I have to pull the files’ URL and then get the contents of the file like this:

String fileContents = "";
GHGistFile file = gitHub.getGist(gistId).getFile(fileName);
try {
     HttpURLConnection conn = gitHub.getConnector().connect(new URL(file.getRawUrl()));
     conn.setRequestMethod("GET");
     InputStream is = conn.getInputStream();
     fileContents = IOUtils.toString(is, StandardCharsets.UTF_8);
     is.close();
     }
catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
return fileContents;

THOSE are the things I CAN do … what I CAN’T seem to do with the API is anything at the gist file level where I need to delete a file, add a file, or update the contents of a file. For example, this code DOES NOT GENERATE ANY ERRORS, yet it simply does not work, meaning that the file is never created inside the gist:

public static void addFileToGist(String filename, String contents, String gistId) {
     GHGist gist = getGist(gistId);
     try{
          gist.update().addFile(filename,contents);
          CustomAlert.showInfo("File Added");
     }
     catch (IOException e) {e.printStackTrace();}
}

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a way to do what I need to do but I just can’t seem to figure it out? Such as - do I need to create new gist files and update them etc. via the HTTPConnector? If so, can someone who me an example of how to do that?

@bitwiseman - YES, 1.300 gets me connected with the HttpClientGitHubConnector.

You guys work fast over there - Thank you!

@bitwiseman - You certainly won’t get any arguments from me on that statement!
