claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Remote triggers with git_repository source lose GitHub authentication and require manual re-authorization [1 comments, 2 participants]

Error Messages/Logs

▎ An unexpected error occurred while setting up the git_repository source. Try starting a new session. If the problem persists, the error details have been logged — contact support with your session ID.

TL;DR

Update the trigger via RemoteTrigger API with fresh credentials after re-authorizing GitHub in claude.ai settings to temporarily resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Investigate the authentication mechanism used by the git_repository source to understand why the GitHub tokens are not being refreshed automatically.
• Verify that the scheduled runs are correctly configured to use the updated credentials after re-authorization.
• Consider implementing a periodic task to automatically re-authorize GitHub and update the trigger with fresh credentials to mitigate the issue.
• Review the error logs to determine if there are any specific error messages or patterns that could indicate the root cause of the authentication failure.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information to create a specific example.

Notes

The provided workaround requires manual intervention and may not be suitable for a headless environment. The root cause of the issue is unclear, and further investigation is needed to determine why the GitHub tokens are not being refreshed automatically.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Re-authorize GitHub in claude.ai settings and update the trigger via RemoteTrigger API to pick up fresh credentials, as this is the only known solution to temporarily resolve the issue.
