IPM Issue When Trying to Publish

Developers & API

Hi,

I’m trying to publish a patch version for my plugin, called settings-sync. However, I get the following error when running ipm publish:

$ ipm publish -t v0.2.8
(node:15596) [DEP0005] DeprecationWarning: Buffer() is deprecated due to security and usability issues. Please use the Buffer.alloc(), Buffer.allocUnsafe(), or Buffer.from() methods instead.
(Use `node --trace-deprecation ...` to show where the warning was created)
Publishing settings-sync@v0.2.8 failed
Creating new version failed: Failed to fetch https://api.github.com/repos/fredluetkemeier/inkdrop-settings-sync/readme?_ts=1697592236562&ref=v0.2.8: Request failed with status code 403

For some reason the README.md file fetch is failing with a status code of 403. Not entirely sure why, I don’t remember running into this issue the last time I published a plugin version.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

Here’s a link to the plugin repo: GitHub - fredluetkemeier/inkdrop-settings-sync: Sync your Inkdrop plugins and settings in a GitHub gist!

I was able to successfully publish my plugin on macOS, but unable to do so on Windows 11.

It’s failing for me both in a normal installation and inside a VM.

Great to hear that you were able to publish the plugin successfully.

I had the same problem a couple of weeks ago. When I tried again just an hour later, everything was working again. I thought it might be a GitHub rate limit.
When I did a plugin update last week, it worked right away.

We should probably keep an eye on this if it happens more often.

Oh okay, glad to hear it might just be that simple!

I’ll report back next time I push a new plugin version if it happens again.

I was able to publish from Windows 11 today without doing anything different.

I think this was just a rate limiting error or something similarly transient.

It’s happening in my environment too. I’ll keep an eye on it. Thank you.

ipm’s codebase is quite old now and I feel like updating it…:thinking:

Just wanted to mention that this is happening again :melting_face:

@Tatsuo_Yokoyama Did your issue resolve after waiting as well?

Yes!
I ran it about half a day later and it worked fine.
