Bad credentials error on POST

I can’t get the test coverage results to POST back to GitHub. Every time I get a 401 bad credentials error.

• using v0.2.21
• the entire job run takes less than 5 minutes
• I’m using the default GITHUB_TOKEN
• repository settings allow both read and write permissions for workflows
• the job YAML is not further restricting permissions
• self-hosted macOS runner

I could use some advice on how to continue troubleshooting this.

to clarify @scttl comment. place github-token under with: for the task. This appears to resolve the issue.

I was able to make it work with default GITHUB_TOKEN by adding pull-requests: write permission to my workflow:

# ...
permissions:
  contents: read  # Required when overriding permissions
  pull-requests: write  # <== Add this to allow action to modify your PR
# ...
jobs:
  # ...
  backend:
    # ...
    steps:
      # ...
      - uses: romeovs/lcov-reporter-action@v0.2.16
        with:
          lcov-file: ./back-end/coverage.lcov
          github-token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
