Github Actions Can't Install Dev Version

[OlexiyPukhov]

How would I use this in github actions? Trying to get the package two different ways, but they both fail with github actions. I can run it locally with no issue using install_dev().
I'm getting an error with > remotes::install_github("tidyverse/rvest")
Error: Error: Failed to install 'rvest' from GitHub: and an error with remotes::install_dev("rvest")
Error: Error: Failed to install 'unknown package' from GitHub:

The url in the picture says:
cannot open URL 'https://api.github.com/repos/tidyverse/rvest/contents/DESCRIPTION?ref=HEAD'

Don't think the Github PAT is the issue here.

The relevant github actions code:

  - name: Install R packages
    run: |
      R -e 'install.packages("remotes", repos = "http://cran.rstudio.com")'
      R -e 'remotes::install_github("tidyverse/rvest")'

I suspect the failure is happening because the bundled PAT is getting rate limited. I haven't seen this sort of problem for a while, which I suspect is because I'm relying on https://github.com/r-lib/actions/tree/v2-branch/setup-r-dependencies and generally usethis::use_github_action(), which does a bunch of work to setup your action in a way that's most likely to succeed.

I tried putting my PAT in, but it just gave me the same error:

Error: Error: Failed to install 'rvest' from GitHub:
can't convert package rvest with RemoteType 'any' to remote
Execution halted

The new github actions code that I used:

  - name: Install R packages
    env:
      GITHUB_PAT: ${{ secrets.MY_GITHUB_PAT }}
    run: |
      R -e 'install.packages("remotes", repos = "http://cran.rstudio.com")'
      R -e 'Sys.setenv(GITHUB_PAT = Sys.getenv("GITHUB_PAT"))'
      R -e 'remotes::install_github("tidyverse/rvest")'

Can you try using pak instead? That's what we now use for all our github actions.

Okay, I'm using pak and also downloading the most stable version with read html live. It downloads, but I get another error. Making a new issue.
