Action just reports Not Found

[richo]

Describe the issue

I'm trying to use the action to validate my integration and get it ready for HACS, but the action just reports Error: Not Found when I run it with my code in a custom_components directory.

I've been shotgun debugging it all morning, it correctly reports that my structure is incorrect when there's a module at the root so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm happy to try to add some diagnostics for future travelers.

I've linked to my actions run if but if you look at some earlier ones like https://github.com/richo/homeassistant-franklinwh/actions/runs/12056265608/job/33618408938 it is definitely looking at the right repo.

I did some more poking around and my intuition is that it's this:

integration/action/action.py

Lines 175 to 176 in aeb2a44

	except HacsException as exception:
	error(exception)

Firing, maybe because my repo needs to already be in HACS for this lint to work? But it's hard for me to guess and I couldn't see an easy path to running this locally to be able to inspect it a little closer.

Did you try to make the custom integration repository structure compliant?
https://hacs.xyz/docs/publish/integration/#repository-structure

[richo]

Yes. The repo previously wasn't compliant, and the action gave me an error to that effect (I linked to such a run in my issue, but it says Error: <Integration richo/homeassistant-franklinwh> Repository structure for refs/heads/richo/hacs is not compliant).

However, now that my repo is (I believe) compliant, the action just says Error: Not Found.

[tjorim]

I did not notice you were working in a branch, not sure if related to the current error but there doesn't seem to be a hacs.json file present.

[richo]

I bet that's the issue!! I didn't realise I needed one, I might have started from the wrong guide.

I'm going to update my PR here to also show where hacs.json hacs/documentation#599 should go, I think that would have helped me out. Thankyou!

[tjorim]

If that's not the case, it might be the branch name containing a forward slash.

[richo]

Seemingly not, to either. :(

I just created a new PR off a branch with no slash in it. Do I need to add credentials to my action or something? I am really not sure what I've done wrong, the hassfest action is working and the way I have them setup appears very similar. Do I need to setup any extra permissions on the repo or something?

This is the latest run, still giving the same error: https://github.com/richo/homeassistant-franklinwh/actions/runs/12059681208/job/33628744289

[richo]

In case you're also looking at this, I managed to get the action to run locally and it's barfing with a

aiogithubapi.exceptions.GitHubNotFoundException: Not Found

seemingly caused by including the repo@ref syntax in the call to the github API? I think I can probably fix it and get a PR up today.

[richo]

I just opened a PR with a candidate fix for this, it appears to work locally but I had to work around some of how ref parsing works in order to make it go.

The tl;dr is that for some configurations the ref is silently ignored and whatever manifest exists on the default branch was what was checked, which probably mostly works since I'm guessing it's relatively rarely changed.
