GitHub WebHook problem
Hi,
I am currently getting this error:
Response status code does not indicate success: 404 (Not
Found).
I have been using successfully AppVeyor the last few days, but since this morning with no change on the configuration I started having problems with the hooks to GitHub.
I removed the and recreated them again (with Push and PullRequest permisions as previous ones where done). But not success for now. I am not even able to force the build from appVeyor Web UI, for me it looks like the link in between my GitHub repository and AppVeyor is broken.
Any Ideas?

Go to https://ci.appveyor.com/account and reauthorize GitHub.

Thanks for the fast reply. It didnt work after simply reauthorize. So i revoked in github. and plan to do same steps again. But end up hitting a bug in the web UI. I cannot access anymore GitHub Authorization options.

I've reset it from here. You can re-authorize now.

Thank you very much Feodor.
Sorry if I haven't answer straight after, but i was doing some testing I can confirm that I still have a 404(not found).
So I have removed the webhooks and re add them but the problem was still there, the workaround that has worked for me is recreate the entire build specification. Dont know if this can help you understand the case, but any other info you need or want let me know.

Make sure GitHub account you are authorizing in AppVeyor has access to project repositories.

yes they are my own ones, so I have full privilege over them.
New builds Same parameters: work
Old builds Same parameters: fail
must be something related to webhooks

What do you mean by "new builds"?
- Feodor
Support Staff 8 Posted by Feodor Fitsner on 30 Jun, 2015 08:37 PM
Oh wait, I see. You created two new projects for the same repos and they worked when clicking "New build" button while old projects didn't, correct?
- Feodor

yes correct, and the only real difference are the webhooks.
Support Staff 10 Posted by Feodor Fitsner on 30 Jun, 2015 08:43 PM
Maybe the problem is that old projects have "Default branches" configured that don't exist any more, so AV can't read the latest commit?
- Feodor

Both branches still exist. Just for the sake of testing I made the default branches match in one of the old definitions with the new one, but didn't remove the 404 error.
About the branches, there was a change at the point old definitions stopped working, but was not a deleted branch, was the add of a new branch (automatically by github) gh-pages.

Can you add my email "feodor AT appveyor.com" to collaborators (https://ci.appveyor.com/team) please so I can look at the issue?

you should have access now :). Here is almost midnight so I will disconnect for now. Anything else you need let me know.
Support Staff 14 Posted by Feodor Fitsner on 30 Jun, 2015 09:51 PM
OK, thanks.

Support Staff 15 Posted by Feodor Fitsner on 01 Jul, 2015 12:21 AM
OK, found it. The repo was renamed from
Hatisoft/ErrorListSearchOntoHatisoft/SearchErrorOn, so old projects can't read it anymore. Update repo path in project settings to make them work again.Btw, I moved your account to a new environment with VS 2015 RC, so don't set custom OS to take advantage of a new environment.

sorry... didn't noticed that at all O_O..., is a stupid mistake from my side...really thank you for helping me out.
Also thanks for moving it to the new environment :).

I seem to be having the same issue for https://ci.appveyor.com/project/shouldly/shouldly and the repo is https://github.com/shouldly/shouldly
The repo was not renamed.
I have added you as a collaborator Feodor.
Support Staff 18 Posted by Feodor Fitsner on 01 Jul, 2015 03:23 PM
You can re-authorize now. Btw, I've moved your account to a new environment.

Thanks Feodor. Just noticed https://ci.appveyor.com/project/TestStack/teststack-conventiontests has the same issue. Just checked all my other builds too, they are fine.

Re:
TestStackaccount - you mean there is 404 preventing you from re-authorize?21 Posted by jake on 02 Jul, 2015 04:40 AM
Yep exactly. And if I try to queue a build it says unauthorized.
Support Staff 22 Posted by Feodor Fitsner on 02 Jul, 2015 04:46 AM
OK, I've reset authorization. You can re-authorize now.
23 Posted by jake on 02 Jul, 2015 04:59 AM
Cheers, all sorted now ☺
Might be worth exposing the Revoke GitHub access button when there is an error to reset it when this happens? Then I can sort it myself. Though not sure why it happened.

I've filed a bug: https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/320
