HttpError: Package not found

Good day.

I tried using your action and got this error: HttpError: Package not found

- uses: vlaurin/action-ghcr-prune@main
  with:
    token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
    user: ${{ github.repository_owner }}
    container: "gui"
    untagged: true

This is most likely a permission issue.

To use this endpoint, you must authenticate using an access token with the packages:read and packages:delete scopes.
In addition:
[...]
If package_type is container, you must also have admin permissions to the container you want to delete.
source: https://octokit.github.io/rest.js/v18#packages-delete-package-version-for-user

I see that you are using the GitHub-provided secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN which I don't believe would ever have admin permissions to a container. I would advise to use a personal access token instead with permissions as per above.

Thanks, it worked with the personal token.

I'm guessing GITHUB_TOKEN doesn't have delete-only permissions because adding a new image works (push).

If anyone stumbles upon this in 2023, I was able to delete images using my GITHUB_TOKEN.

jobs:
  prune-pr-images:
    if: github.event_name == 'pull_request'
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      packages: write
    steps:
      - uses: vlaurin/action-ghcr-prune@v0.5.0
        with:
          container: ${{ env.CONTAINER_NAME }}
          token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          prune-tags-regexes: ^pr-${{github.event.pull_request.number}}
          # dry-run: true
