HttpError: API rate limit exceeded for installation

See original GitHub issue

I’ve specified token by GITHUB_TOKEN, but I get the following error:

Unexpected error fetching GitHub release for tag refs/heads/v1.079-dev: HttpError: API rate limit exceeded for installation ID 5238618.

It reads the problem is during ‘fetching GitHub release’. Is the action utilizes token in the right way?

I had to fix the branch name extraction which was used for the tag_name to not put spaces, e.g.

      - name: Get the current branch name
        shell: bash
        run: echo "##[set-output name=branch;]${GITHUB_REF#refs/heads/}"
        id: myref

then use: tag_name: ${{ steps.myref.outputs.branch }}-dev.

So this is basically duplicate of #52, happening when the tag name is invalid. Then the following jobs are basically rejecting further GitHub calls (sometimes without seeing “GitHub release failed with status” errors, because it’s already invalid before the retrying loop even start).

Thanks for the extra info. That’s be my bet. Does that tag exist?
