The user 'System:PublicAccess;aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa' is not authorized to access this resource

My workflow: https://github.com/IDLFAC/CyberMots/blob/d44c761d6c81c72ce60e32f1d4b43b25d9c15ff4/.github/workflows/ruby.yml

• build job ✅
• deploy job ❌

deploy job logs https://github.com/IDLFAC/CyberMots/actions/runs/6442789709/job/17493982576

The error itself is not helpful:

Error: Creating Pages deployment failed
Error: HttpError: invalid json response body at https://api.github.com/repos/IDLFAC/CyberMots/pages/deployments reason: Unexpected end of JSON input

If I check the Artifact exchange URL:

{
  "$id": "1",
  "innerException": null,
  "message": "The user 'System:PublicAccess;aaaaaaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa' is not authorized to access this resource.",
  "typeName": "Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server.UnauthorizedRequestException, Microsoft.TeamFoundation.Framework.Server",
  "typeKey": "UnauthorizedRequestException",
  "errorCode": 0,
  "eventId": 3000
}

I know the permissions is set globally and not on the deploy job directly but this is working on others workflows on other projects.

When I check the API message:

{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest"
}

But the repository does exists and is configured to use Github Pages with Github Actions (settings at https://github.com/IDLFAC/CyberMots/settings/pages).

Whatever the issue is, I think the error messages and error handling could be greatly improved.

I have a similar issue when running against gitenterprise 3.8. In the same context, I also observed the server returning status 500.

I believe this issue may be caused by the branch name containing non-ASCII characters (maîtresse), see #185

Update: it seems to be confirmed, I forked the project to a test one, then renamed the branch and the worklow branch name and now it deploys without errors: https://github.com/IDLFAC/test-github-pages/actions/runs/6617290103

I appear to be having a similar issue except that when I tried to remove a non-ASCII character it did not resolve the issue.

I'm going to close this as a duplicate of #185 but your mention of the Artifacts service error may prove to be useful.
We've filed an internal bug to investigate this one further as well. Thank you! 🙇
