assign-one-project-github-action: "No project was found" error

Hi, I’m getting the following error on an organization project. Can anyone tell me why it’s not recognising the project?

When I try that, I get this I’m afraid:

MY_GITHUB_TOKEN not defined

I also set up a test organisation, and tried tha with MY_GITHUB_TOKEN but get the same thing:

Plus one. Same issues.

In an org, both repo and action, using MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}.

Results in:

No project was found.
jq: error (at <stdin>:4): Cannot index string with string "name"
Column name '' is not found.

And when changing to GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}, it results is:

MY_GITHUB_TOKEN not defined

🤔

I’ve tried everything in this thread:

Repo token as MY_GITHUB_TOKEN

env:
  MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Repo token as GITHUB_TOKEN

env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Custom PAT in my repo, configured per @day-jeff 's comment:

env:
  MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.ACTIONS_PAT }}

Nothing works.

I can’t pivot to what Jeff highlighted because I want the ability to put a new PR/Issue into a column on the Project, not just label the PRs/issues 😕

Any update on what works here? I have an org-level private project on a public repo

Thanks. I’m not running it from a personal repo, so instead of:

env:
  MY_GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

I should use:

env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

is that right? I think I tried that and got another error before.
