Failed to generate images

[pexeixv]

I followed the installation guide in README.md. I created a secret with the access token, even then it the log says access token is missing.

  python3 --version
  python3 generate_images.py
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
  env:
    pythonLocation: /opt/hostedtoolcache/Python/3.8.8/x64

Hi, thanks for taking the time to open this issue!

After reading your post, I'm not entirely sure what the problem could be. Have you double checked that you spelled the name of the secret correctly? The place to see the secrets is here.

If you provide some more info, we can get to the bottom of what is going wrong, and then I can document the issue for anyone else who might have the same problem.

Hi!

I had the same issue, so I tried to re-run a workflow, and it worked.
As far as I understand, the script tries to generate images immediately after copying, but you need some time to set a Personal Access Token, so it can't find it.

Hopefully, this will help you

Thanks @pexeixv and @comav, both for bringing this to my attention, and for identifying the cause (and solution)! I will add this to the main documentation in case there are other users having the same problem who haven't reported it.

I'm assuming that the solution provided by @comav does indeed fix the original problem. If not, please feel free to reopen this issue.

Hello,
Getting back to this how long should we expect to wait until it understands the token and gets updated!
