"Authorization by Eclipse required" error when attempting to publish with valid access token

[DetachHead]

my extension is failing to publish with the following error:

i have not changed the access token since the previous release, and it's still valid on open-vsx.org:

it's definitely using that token since it updated the "Accessed" time. any ideas?

[amvanbaren]

It's the Eclipse access token that is missing or has expired.
You might be able to solve the issue by logging in to open-vsx.org, go to User settings and click the 'Log in with Eclipse' button.

I'm currently looking into the Eclipse OAuth flow. Keep an eye on #912.

[DetachHead]

is this something that can be set to never expire, or refreshed automatically? i'd rather not have to manually login and do this every month (or however often it expires)

[amvanbaren]

I'll add a job that checks for expired Eclipse access tokens and tries to refresh them.
Then only when the refresh token itself expired you'd have to do a manual login. This should rarely happen.

We are seeing the same issue.

You might be able to solve the issue by logging in to open-vsx.org, go to User settings and click the 'Log in with Eclipse' button.

As we use a service account on open-vsx which doesn't match my eclipse account github username, is the expectation to create a new eclipse account for all open-vsx users?

In general it's the user associated with the personal access token that gets checked for a valid publisher agreement.
You can use the personal access token in a CI workflow to publish on behalf of you.

[amvanbaren]

Disregard what I said before. Release v0.15.4 fixes the issue. It will go live as soon as @kineticsquid has had a chance to review it.

@amvanbaren I approved the PR.

now i'm getting a different error:

@DetachHead Getting https://api.eclipse.org/account/profile/detachhead works for me. I guess it was a temporary outage.
