branches config does not work at all

[dogmatic69]

Problem Description

Unable to define branch protection rules through the branches configuration.

I've tried numerous iterations, including a direct copy/paste from the docs. No branch protection is ever created.

What is actually happening

nothing at all.

What is the expected behaviour

branch protection rules should be created / maintained by the app

Error output, if available

n/a

Context

Are you using the hosted instance of repository-settings/app or running your own?

hosted

I'm having the same problem. Assuming that it's a bug is there a way to debug/alert on when there are issues like this? I don't want to be in a situation where I think this is enabled on my repos and it turns out it's not.

+1 as well. Even a previously known working configuration is no longer working.

is there a way to debug/alert on when there are issues like this?

that is the goal of #518, which has not been implemented yet

configuring branch protection with this app does work as long as the protection details are configured correctly and no other failures occurred before the app attempts to update the branch protection config through the api. unfortunately, there is no feedback from the app about a failure until #518 is implemented, so the best i can offer until then is to suggest removing details from your config until it works and then add details back into your config detail by detail and confirming each applies successfully.

duplicate of #150. please avoid opening extra issues when relevant issues already exist
