Error: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'blacklisted_labels')

[vchiapaikeo]

I'm having some trouble integrating this action. There seems to be issues around reading the config file which I've copied verbatim from the example and placed at .github/autoapproval.yml. I think we need to provide the additional contents: read permission so that it can read the config.

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

However, after doing that, I still seem to be runninig into issues:

Any idea what the issue might be?

Thanks for the hint adding permissions, I will update Readme file 👍

Can you show your config file for autoapproval? Do you have a defined blacklisted_labels?

[vchiapaikeo]

Hey! Yup, I've set it like this:

.github/autoapproval.yml

_extends: github-settings

from_owner:
  - dependabot[bot]

required_labels:
  - dependencies

blacklisted_labels:
  - wip

apply_labels:
  - merge

And .github/workflows/auto-approve.yml:

name: Auto-Approve

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, reopened, labeled, edited]
  pull_request_review:
    types: [dismissed]

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write

jobs:
  auto-approve:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Auto-Approve
    steps:
      - uses: dkhmelenko/autoapproval@v1.0
        env:
          GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

That's strange. Because it looks correct. Does it happen for all PRs or only for a certain? Can you try to close and open another one? Sometimes when you do configuration changes, the existing PRs might not pick up those new configurations

[vchiapaikeo]

All unfortunately. :-(

I wonder if this is because of our installation of Github. Our company is on Github Enterprise Cloud. Also, do you know if there's any thing needed for Probot to work?

In any case, I was able to this action to work okay so will be using that as a workaround for now.

Thank you for all the help!!

Oh, that's interesting. I see this issue for the first time. Looks like the Probot app doesn't work correctly somehow for you. maybe it can be due to the fact that you use Github enterprise Cloud.

You need to configure this app for each repository https://github.com/apps/autoapproval
And then add GitHub action as you did already.
