Crowdin Action does not create PR and fails with error: jq: error (at <stdin>:4): Cannot index string with string "head"

[sumitahluwalia]

Describe the bug
Pull request does not get created when the crowdin executed is executed.
The script fails with error:

 jq: error (at <stdin>:4): Cannot index string with string "head"

To Reproduce

1. I previously had github integration enabled for the same project. I just tried to switch to using the action.
2. I have the action added here: https://github.com/sumitahluwalia/crowdin/blob/main/.github/workflows/main.yml
3. You can see my action executed here: https://github.com/sumitahluwalia/crowdin/runs/2417311249
4. crowdin.yml file: https://github.com/sumitahluwalia/crowdin/blob/main/crowdin.yml

Expected behavior
The PR request should be created.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Hi @subbuswaroop! Let's try first set new version of github action uses: crowdin/github-action@1.4.0 and re-run action.

[subbuswaroop]

Hey @VBeytok .. Tried using crowdin/github-action@1.4.0 but still getting the same error

[subbuswaroop]

@VBeytok Were you able to find anything? 🙂

[VBeytok]

Hi @subbuswaroop
I reproduced your error, its happened because your personal token is wrong or expired witch you use in ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_TOKEN }} update secret or use the default ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

[subbuswaroop]

@VBeytok Thank you for the response. But I'm still getting the same error even after using the default ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}. I can see that a new branch is getting created. But only the PULL_REQUEST fails. Do I need to delete the branch and try running the script again? Will that work?

[VBeytok]

@subbuswaroop try this pull request subbuswaroop/crowdin-sync-repo#5. For this case, you do not need to delete branch.

[subbuswaroop]

@VBeytok Sorry for the dumb response earlier. I was actually changing the ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} in another workflow file and was expecting the current one to work 😒.

It's working now. Thank you very much. Have a great day :)

[VBeytok]

@subbuswaroop Thanks, you too!
