Error creating GitHub release: Provider setting not found. Parameter name: auth_token

Question

So I decided to try to deploy my app using appveyor and github. I followed instructions from the page:

• http://www.appveyor.com/docs/deployment/github

I basically went to:

• https://github.com/settings/tokens

click on Generate new token, I called it appveyor (under Token description). I selected only public_repo from the Select scopes section. Then copy paste the string (sha1?). Then went to my appveyor page:

• https://ci.appveyor.com/tools/encrypt

Copy/paste my github sha1 string, got another sha1 string in return, copy/pasted this string onto my appveyor YAML script:

• https://raw.githubusercontent.com/malaterre/GDCM/master/appveyor.yml

But when I run it, I get a weird error saying:

Error creating GitHub release: Provider setting not found. Parameter name: auth_token

See:

• https://ci.appveyor.com/project/malaterre/gdcm/build/2.7.0.116

What did I missed from the instructions ?

Answer 1

Have you tried removing # your encrypted token from GitHub comment from a line with secure token?
