Why am I receiving an error with my GitHub Issues Webhook script?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

i keep receiving error with this script :

import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default {
name: “GitHub Issues Webhook”,
description: “Emit events for new GitHub issues”,
props: {
github: {
type: “app”,
app: “github”,
},
},
async run(event) {
const { action, issue } = event.body;
if (action === “opened”) {
this.$emit(issue, {
id: issue.id,
summary: ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title},
ts: +new Date(issue.created_at),
});
}
},
hooks: {
async activate() {
const repoOwner = “vikas-velora”;
const repoName = “slack-static”;
const webhookURL = ${this.http.endpoint}/webhook;

  // Create webhook on GitHub
  await axios(this, {
    method: "post",
    url: `https://api.github.com/repos/${repoOwner}/${repoName}/hooks`,
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      Accept: "application/vnd.github.v3+json",
    },
    data: {
      config: {
        url: webhookURL,
        content_type: "json",
        secret: "your-webhook-secret", // Make sure to use a secure secret
      },
      events: ["issues"],
      active: true,
    },
  });
},
async deactivate() {
  // Remove webhook from GitHub
  const repoOwner = "vikas-velora";
  const repoName = "slack-static";

  // List all webhooks and find the one we need to remove
  const { data: hooks } = await axios(this, {
    method: "get",
    url: `https://api.github.com/repos/${repoOwner}/${repoName}/hooks`,
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      Accept: "application/vnd.github.v3+json",
    },
  });

  const webhook = hooks.find(
    (hook) => hook.config.url === `${this.http.endpoint}/webhook`
  );

  if (webhook) {
    await axios(this, {
      method: "delete",
      url: `https://api.github.com/repos/${repoOwner}/${repoName}/hooks/${webhook.id}`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        Accept: "application/vnd.github.v3+json",
      },
    });
  }
},

},
};

It looks like there’s an issue with how URLs are being used in your axios requests within the activate and deactivate hooks. Specifically, the URLs are enclosed in angle brackets (< and >), which is not correct syntax for JavaScript template literals or string concatenation. Here’s how you can correct the URLs in your axios requests: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ name: “GitHub Issues Webhook”, description: “Emit events for new GitHub issues”, props: { github: { type: “app”, app: “github”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const { action, issue } = steps.trigger.event.body; if (action === “opened”) { this.$emit(issue, { id: issue.id, summary: ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title}, ts: +new Date(issue.created_at), }); } }, hooks: { async activate() { const repoOwner = “vikas-velora”; const repoName = “slack-static”; const webhookURL = ${this.http.endpoint}/webhook; // Create webhook on GitHub await axios(this, { method: “post”, url: https://api.github.com/repos/${repoOwner}/${repoName}/hooks, // Removed angle brackets headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}, Accept: “application/vnd.github.v3+json”, }, data: { config: { url: webhookURL, content_type: “json”, secret: “your-webhook-secret”, // Make sure to use a secure secret }, events: [“issues”], active: true, }, }); }, async deactivate() { const repoOwner = “vikas-velora”; const repoName = “slack-static”; // List all webhooks and find the one we need to remove const { data: hooks } = await axios(this, { method: “get”, url: https://api.github.com/repos/${repoOwner}/${repoName}/hooks, // Removed angle brackets headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}, Accept: “application/vnd.github.v3+json”,

To deploy your custom source .mjs file and use it as a trigger in Pipedream, follow these steps: 1. Save your code to a local .mjs file. For example, you might name it github_issues_webhook.mjs. 2. Deploy your component to Pipedream. Open your terminal, navigate to the directory containing your .mjs file, and run the following command to deploy your component: bash pd deploy github_issues_webhook.mjs 3. Follow the CLI prompts. The CLI will ask you to select a connected GitHub account (or connect a new one). This step is crucial because it authorizes your component to make API requests to GitHub using your account. 4. Activate your component. Once deployed, your component will automatically run the activate hook, creating a webhook on the specified GitHub repository. This webhook will trigger your component on GitHub issue events. 5. Monitor and test. After deployment, you can monitor your component’s executions and emitted events in the Pipedream UI. Navigate to the URL provided by the CLI after deployment to view your component’s configuration and logs. 6. Deactivation. When you’re ready to stop receiving events or wish to undeploy your component, you can do so from the Pipedream UI. The deactivate hook will run automatically upon undeployment, allowing you to clean up resources (e.g., remove the GitHub webhook). Remember, the activate and deactivate hooks in your component are crucial for managing the lifecycle of your GitHub webhook. Ensure your deactivate hook includes logic to find and delete the GitHub webhook created during activation to avoid leaving active webhooks after your component is no longer in use. If you encounter any issues during deployment or have further questions, feel free to visit Pipedream Support for more assistance.

i am tryinbg to create an mjs file which i want to deploy as source, the file will as a webhook will get github issues, using external auth

To create a .mjs file that you can deploy as a source on Pipedream, which acts as a webhook to get GitHub issues using external authentication, follow the structure below. This example uses the GitHub app integration for OAuth authentication. Make sure to replace 'your-specific-details-here' with the actual details relevant to your GitHub app and the specifics of the GitHub issues you’re trying to fetch. import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { github: { type: "app", app: "github", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const owner = 'your-github-repo-owner'; const repo = 'your-github-repo-name'; return await axios($, { method: "GET", url: `https://api.github.com/repos/${owner}/${repo}/issues`, headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "Accept": "application/vnd.github.v3+json", }, }); }, }); In this code: - Replace 'your-github-repo-owner' with the GitHub username or organization that owns the repository. - Replace 'your-github-repo-name' with the name of the repository you want to fetch issues from. This component uses the GitHub app integration for authentication, specified in the props section. It makes a GET request to the GitHub API to fetch issues from a specific repository. The Authorization header uses the OAuth access token provided by the GitHub app integration on Pipedream. To deploy this as a source on Pipedream: 1. Save the code in a .mjs file. 2. Use the Pipedream CLI to deploy it. If you haven’t installed the CLI, follow the instructions on the Pipedream CLI documentation page. 3. Once installed, navigate to the directory containing your .mjs file and run: bash pd deploy your-file-name.mjs Replace your-file-name.mjs with the name of your file. This will deploy your source to Pipedream, where it will act as a webhook to get GitHub issues using the external OAuth authentication you’ve set up with the GitHub app on Pipedream.

i want to implement that as webhook not get request polling

Based on your request to implement a solution using a webhook instead of GET request polling, it’s important to understand the advantages of webhooks over polling mechanisms. Webhooks provide real-time data transmission, which is more efficient and typically uses less compute time. To implement a webhook in Pipedream, you would typically create a source that listens for HTTP requests (webhooks) from the service you’re interested in receiving data from. When the external service sends data to your webhook URL, Pipedream will trigger your workflow and allow you to process the incoming data. Here’s a basic outline of steps you might follow to set up a webhook source in Pipedream: 1. Create a new Pipedream workflow. 2. Add a trigger for your workflow. Choose the HTTP / Webhook option. This will generate a unique URL that you can use as your webhook endpoint. 3. Configure the external service to send data to the webhook URL provided by Pipedream. The configuration steps will vary depending on the service you’re using. 4. Process the incoming data in your Pipedream workflow. You can add steps to your workflow to parse the webhook payload and perform actions based on the data. Since webhooks deliver data to your workflow in real-time, this approach is generally more efficient than polling an API at regular intervals to check for new data. If you need more specific guidance on setting up a webhook source for a particular service, or if you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask for further details.

ye but i want to get github issues, for that i want to create a custom source mjs file , that uses webhook to get github issues in real time, give me the code that would work

To create a custom Pipedream source in an .mjs file that uses a webhook to get GitHub issues in real-time, you will need to follow these steps. Since GitHub does not directly send issues to a webhook, you’ll typically use the GitHub API to fetch issues and then emit them from your source. However, you can configure a GitHub webhook to send events to your Pipedream source, which then processes these events. Here’s a simplified example of how you might set up a Pipedream component to act as a source for GitHub issue events: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { github: { type: "app", app: "github", }, http: { type: "$.interface.http", customResponse: true, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Assuming the webhook event data is sent as a POST request to this source const event = $.http.context.body; // Check if the event is an issue event if (event && event.action && ["opened", "edited", "closed"].includes(event.action)) { // Emit the issue details this.$emit(event.issue, { summary: `Issue ${event.action}: ${event.issue.title}`, id: event.issue.id, ts: +new Date(event.issue.created_at), }); // Respond to the webhook to acknowledge receipt $.http.respond({ status: 200, body: { message: "Event processed", }, }); } else { // Not an issue event or not an action we're interested in $.http.respond({ status: 400, body: { message: "Not an issue event", }, }); } }, }); This code defines a Pipedream component with an HTTP trigger ($.interface.http) that listens for incoming webhook requests. When GitHub sends an issue event to the webhook URL provided by Pipedream, this source checks if the event is related to an issue being opened, edited, or closed. If it is, the source emits the issue details for further processing in your workflow. Important Notes: 1. Setting up the GitHub Webhook: You’ll need to configure a webhook in your GitHub repository to send issue events to the Pipedream source’s endpoint. You

how to setup github webhook from ur previous answer

To set up a GitHub webhook using Pipedream, you’ll need to follow these general steps. This guide assumes you want to trigger a Pipedream workflow with events from GitHub (like push events, pull requests, etc.). 1. Create a new Pipedream workflow: - Go to the Pipedream dashboard and create a new workflow. - For the trigger, search for the GitHub app and select the event you want to trigger the workflow. If you’re setting up a webhook for a specific event not listed, you can use the “Webhook” trigger. 2. Configure the GitHub app on Pipedream: - If you haven’t connected your GitHub account to Pipedream, you’ll be prompted to do so. Follow the instructions to authorize Pipedream to access your GitHub account. 3. Set up the webhook on GitHub: - Go to your GitHub repository or organization settings. - Navigate to the “Webhooks” section and click on “Add webhook”. - In the “Payload URL” field, enter the URL provided by the Pipedream trigger. This URL is where GitHub will send webhook events. - Choose the content type as application/json. - Select which events you would like to trigger the webhook. You can choose individual events or select “Send me everything” to receive all events. - Click “Add webhook” to save your settings. 4. Test the webhook: - Perform an action in your GitHub repository that corresponds to the event you configured (e.g., push a commit if you set up a push event webhook). - Check your Pipedream workflow to see if the event was received and triggered the workflow. Remember, the specific steps and configurations might vary based on the exact requirements of your workflow and the events you want to listen to from GitHub. The above steps provide a general approach to setting up a GitHub webhook with Pipedream.
