After installing the plugin and configured;
- enable discourse github plugin
- github linkback enabled
- github linkback projects
- github linkback access token (token with _public\_repo_ enabled)
I tried via curl like so;
`curl -X POST -H 'Authorization: token *token*' https://api.github.com/repos/*project*/issues/*id*/comments -d '{"body": "test"}'` and that works, so the token is valid.
Then I create a topic and post a link to a pull request, but no comment appears on github.
Not finding any logs regarding it either
Any tips?
- Discourse - 2.6.0 (via docker)
- discourse-github - 0.3 (9967e0c)

Same issue we’re having. Is there a Queued job to be aware of, or any pointers to error logs?

Having a look deeper into the plugin’s code to hopefully see if there was parameters that need to be met and found the following.
```plaintext
!!(SiteSetting.github_linkback_enabled? &&
SiteSetting.enable_discourse_github_plugin? &&
@post.present? &&
@post.post_type == Post.types[:regular] &&
@post.raw =~ /github\.com/ &&
Guardian.new.can_see?(@post) &&
@post.topic.visible?)
```
Now I don’t know all the variables but the post.topic.visible would that mean it needs to be in a public category for it to be linked back? My first couple of attempts where in categories that were only visible to the moderators that didn’t seem to work, is that a possible reason it didn’t work or through an error?
Any insight on the other parameters/requirements would be much appreciated.

I am having similar issues. I’ve tested my token, as above, and it works, but I am not seeing any linkbacks.
I’ve looked in the logs but can’t see anything, but perhaps I am not looking in the right place?
I’m using a discourse hosted plan (Business) in case that is relevant.

My issue was solved by @dax (thanks!). I had lower-case organisation names in the configuration, but the repos have mixed lower and uppercase. GitHub is case-insensitive, and either work, but the plugin requires the case to match the name as shown on the relevant organisation.
