Getting the same error with v1.0.7, reverting the github provider to v4.14 "fixed" the issue.

[james-callahan]

Looks like this was #909

My builds have been failing for this since this morning as well.

Same error here since this morning

Please add 👍 instead of putting pointless comments. It's obvious it breaks for everybody that uses newest provider version.

[husain-aljamri]

I just though I might add this comment: I don't actually manage any github resources in my TF config. The only thing I'm using the Github provider for is the datasource github_ip_ranges, and I still get this error on every terraform plan run. This only showed up this morning, I didn't have this issue earlier this week.

It's happening with the provider on other versions:

    github = {
      source  = "integrations/github"
      version = "~> 4.3"
    }

    github = {
      source  = "integrations/github"
      version = "~> 4.3"
    }

Please check your terraform init output and see which exactly version is being used.
"~> 4.3" will point to 4.15.

[w0rmr1d3r]

You are right @ChristophShyper !
It's pointing to 4.15.
Sorry for generating any noise :shame-on-me:
As @creack said, fixing the version to 4.14 solves the issue until a fix is done.

same with 4.15 - pinning to 4.14 for now.

Even though the issue is since resolved

I have pinned to 4.14

required_providers {
    github = {
      source  = "integrations/github"
      version = "4.14"
    }
  }

nevertheless i am sill havew the same issue in my CI.

noticed also in the provider resulution in init is bringing 4.15 from terraform/github

Initializing provider plugins...
- Finding hashicorp/aws versions matching "3.58.0"...
- Finding integrations/github versions matching "4.14.0"...
- Finding latest version of hashicorp/github...
- Installing hashicorp/aws v3.58.0...
- Installed hashicorp/aws v3.58.0 (signed by HashiCorp)
- Installing integrations/github v4.14.0...
- Installed integrations/github v4.14.0 (signed by a HashiCorp partner, key ID 38027F80D7FD5FB2)
- Installing hashicorp/github v4.15.0...
- Installed hashicorp/github v4.15.0 (signed by HashiCorp)

Any thoughts why this is happening?

Hi @kanekotic We've had the same problem, and perhaps the cause is the same for you...

If you have references to the github provider in modules those modules may also need pinning to the 4.14 version.

For us we had to add the following to all (well most) sub module usage to ensure the right version is used everywhere we need it.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    github = {
      source  = "integrations/github"
      version = "4.14.0"
    }
  }
}

The Terraform documentation mentions in a note the following:

Note: Only provider configurations are inherited by child modules, not provider source or version requirements. Each module must declare its own provider requirements. This is especially important for non-HashiCorp providers.
