go-github: not able to activate advanced security

Forgive my naivety as an amateur developer, especially in go.

I am trying to use Repositories.Edit to update the SecurityAndAnalysis.AdvancedSecurity.Status to enabled and even though I get 200 status, I receive an empty response. The field does not update as expected.

The response body appears to not have the field available, which is probably the issue.

I am definitely able to see the status of the field, using SecurityAndAnalysis.GetAdvancedSecurity()

Does anyone know what I may be doing wrong or if this is maybe a bug somewhere? Thanks in advance!

It works! I had a feeling it was something like that. I was trying to create a smaller body object with just those fields and couldnt figure that out. Thank you so much!

You are correct that this is on a paid “Enterprise” subscription. Sorry for not being forthcoming, Im also just now realizing there is a difference seemingly. I might be able to find a way to get you access to a test repo if that makes things easier.

Also feel free to let me know if I can provide more info.

Thank you for ruling out the delayed-propagation scenario.

Later today I will attempt to recreate the problem and let you know what I discover. But the bottom line is that if you were able to make things work using curl, then this repo’s method should also work… so let’s get to the bottom of this and fix it. 😊

Two options:

try the curl-only version and see if you get the same results.
post an example snippet of your request here so we can see what you are attempting
