Github Commit batch commit issues

[Audichrisrochelle]

Hello,

I am attempting to build a workflow that utilize the "Github Commit" tool to write data to a static service. I believe I have all of my configurations successfully applied however it seems a sub-routine of the tool for batch commit is erroring out and I cannot figure out what part of my configure might be causing this issue, or if this is a general issue with the tool. I can perform a self commit without an issue, but when I want to pass a file it continues to error.

I know I can build something in python, so that is not the topic of the conversation, I would like to troubleshoot this tooling functionality.

Further diving into this, I receive 200's up until the macro tool does a POST on this end point [/repos/{owner}/{repo}/git/trees]. at this point I felt like I was getting out of my element a bit with how github functions with the directory creation, so I stopped digging. As best I can tell this seems like an issue with how the file path is being consumed and used for the github directory creation. not sure if anyone else ran into this issue previously.

Your download data has an error message -> must supply a tree... can you cut and paste the error message in this thread?

What's in Filepath and Repo? I'm note 100% sure and would use CLI vs this tool for numerous reasons -> but my initial hunch is that the specific location you are trying to place the file in does not exist - or the file you are trying to place is not at that path on your laptop.

Ok, So I figured it out. The challenge was that I was putting an absolute URL path to the repo in my text input for "Repo"  essentially "github.com/owner/repo" when it just needed to be "Repo". I guess I was confused by the fact that it was already asking for GitHub Repository Name under the Configure tab, so I assume/expected it needed to insert it on as a full repo path for the batch commit input line.

Glad to see that this worked out.
