Validation Failed about ghi HOT 7 CLOSED

Sorry, closed by butterfingers.

Could you please provide more context? What is the exact command you're issuing (obscure your password, of course) and the output you're seeing?

from ghi.

ghi config --auth nijikokun:passwordhere

• putting useful stuff into bashrc, rebashing-

ghi open "title" -m "body" -L label

Verification Failed.

I would just like to note that the version 2 api is being phased out in the coming week: https://github.com/blog/1090-github-api-moving-on

from ghi.

The new version (in master, installed via curl) uses APIv3.

It sounds like ghi config --auth returned instructions, correct? And you copied export GHI_TOKEN="generatedtokenhere" into your bashrc?

When you reload your shell, does echo $GHI_TOKEN return your token?

from ghi.

Returns the correct token back, the repository I am creating an issue on is private does that matter?

Apparently, using 1.0.2 as a label was causing the issue, removed it and it worked correctly.

from ghi.

Label 1.0.2 should work fine if the label already exists. The Validation Failed message was most likely due to that label not existing. I currently have a -v option you can pass to ghi to show the request/response lifecycle:

$ ghi -v open "title" -m "body" -L 1.0.2
===> POST /repos/stephencelis/ghi-playground/issues {"labels":["1.0.2"],"body":null,"title":"title"}
<=== 422: {"message":"Validation Failed","errors":[{"code":"missing","value":["1.0.2"],"field":"name","resource":"Label"}]}

The problem with auto-creating labels is that if you make a typo, there's cleanup to do. I'll add better error messaging, instead.

You also bring up a good issue where a root-level title will overwrite a title passed to -m. I'll come up with a better behavior for this, too.

It would be sweet if you allowed issues -> pull request ;P

FYI, the latest version improves error messaging for opening issues. There are other areas where error messaging needs to improve, though.
