Mattermost Github Plugin will not start about mattermost-plugin-github HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @JackPala, thanks for reporting this. Can you please let us know what plugin version and MM server version you're running?

failed to ensure github bot: failed to create bot: Bot.IsValid: Invalid creator id

@hanzei Any ideas on this? Here's where the error occurs on the server:

https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/blob/0409a2285df85b79e6025ff26fead709982b71d2/server/public/model/bot.go#L102-L104

	if b.OwnerId == "" || utf8.RuneCountInString(b.OwnerId) > BotCreatorIdMaxRunes {
		return NewAppError("Bot.IsValid", "model.bot.is_valid.creator_id.app_error", b.Trace(), "", http.StatusBadRequest)
	}

The OwnerId should indeed always be set per #598

and should be set my the server on recent server versions otherwise anyway https://github.com/mattermost/mattermost/blob/791ee40568214ee4444ec31fab7d0802b5aac40f/server/channels/app/plugin_api.go#L994

Just a guess, but maybe there existed a manually created GitHub bot before the plugin was first activated? Not sure if that would cause this though. @JackPala Any ideas on what may be specific to your environment?

I was using the latest github plugin, and mattermost 7.0.1 , but upgrading to version Mattermost 9 docker compose appears to have fixed it

from mattermost-plugin-github.

Perhaps an incompatible github plugin version could be installed on mattermost 7.0.1? Runs fine now that's it is on 9

from mattermost-plugin-github.

@JackPala Mattermost 7.0.1 is an unsupported version. The plugin might not be working with that version.

Closing as the update fixes the issue.
