Hi there,
There are a few things that I could suggest here:
Ensure that you have set the required GitHub secrets (like
DIGITALOCEAN_ACCESS_TOKEN) and they are correct. Tokens should have appropriate permissions.Check the logs of the GitHub Action run. They might contain more details about what exactly failed. Feel free to share thos errors here in case that there are any.
Ensure there are no syntax errors in your
.do/app.yamlfile. Ensure that the repository and branch in the app spec match exactly with the repository and branch you are pushing to.Try to deploy manually using the
doctlcommand line, replicating what the GitHub Action does:doctland the context of your local machine. If it succeeds, the problem lies somewhere in the GitHub Action or its environment.Also here is an example repository that you could use as a blueprint:
This repository has an example
.do/app.yamlfile and an example GitHub workflow file too.Let me know how it goes!
Best,
Bobby
