bump-cask-pr not working anymore

[ZepDonald]

I've started contributing some version changes for some casks I'm using a few weeks ago via brew bump-cask-pr. Last week I encountered a problem which I don't know how to fix.

Every time I use the command, it throws an error at the end:
! [remote rejected] bump-webex-41.2.0.17887 -> bump-webex-41.2.0.17887 (refusing to allow an OAuth App to create or update workflow `.github/workflows/bump-unversioned-casks.yml` without `workflow` scope)

It looks like there's an issue in the mentioned file bump-unversioned-casks.yml.

Is this a problem with Homebrew or am I doing something wrong?

I think you either need to extend the permissions of your github token, or you need to manually rebase the branch to make sure it includes the latest workflow changes.

My GitHub token is correct. I used brew bump-cask-pr a few times during the last 4 weeks without any problems and I never changed my token settings. I also double checked the permissions and workflow is checked.

I also run the command 'brew update-reset' to rebase. From what I see in the man pages, this should be the right command, but I might be wrong.

I also compared my local bump-unversioned-casks.ymlwith the one from the repo and couldn't find any differences.

Any further ideas?

Same issues here: pavlobu/deskreen.
I found the possible solution of StackOverflow, but I have not tried.

See Homebrew/brew/pull/10568, now Homebrew need "gist, public_repo, workflow" permission.

I got it working, but I'm more confused now than before.

I never set the environment variable HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN. Now I did and it's working like a charm.
I just don't know, why it was working before and what made it stop working.
