Error when using delete-package-versions from a different repo

[eric-creekside]

I'm using delete-package-versions as part of a reusable workflow that I call from others. It works as long as my reusable workflow and the calling workflow are in the same repo as the package is hosted. But when I try to call it from a workflow in a different repo (owned by the same account), it fails with Error: get versions API failed. Resource not accessible by integration

Here's my reusable workflow:

name: _ Publish with Gradle

on:
  workflow_call:
    inputs:
      project-folder:
        required: false
        type: string
        default: .
      package-name:
        required: true
        type: string
      java-version:
        type: string
        default: '17'

jobs:
  gradle-publish:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    permissions:
      contents: read
      packages: write

    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v3

      - name: Set up JDK ${{ inputs.java-version}}
        uses: actions/setup-java@v3
        with:
          java-version: ${{ inputs.java-version}}
          distribution: 'temurin'

      - name: Gradle publish
        uses: gradle/gradle-build-action@v2
        with:
          arguments: publish --scan
          build-root-directory: ${{ inputs.project-folder }}

      - name: 'Clean old pre-release versions'
        uses: actions/delete-package-versions@v4
        with: 
          package-name: ${{ inputs.package-name }}
          package-type: 'maven'
          min-versions-to-keep: 10
          delete-only-pre-release-versions: true

Here's an example of calling that workflow:

name: Publish my-lib library

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
  push:
    branches:
      - master
      - release/**

jobs:
  publish_my-lib:
    uses: ./.github/workflows/gradle-publish-project.yml
    with:
      java-version: '17'
      package-name: 'com.me.my-lib'

The actual publish works correctly, but for some reason the delete-package-versions step fails when it's cross-repo. I've enabled read-write permissions on the repos.

I know this is an old issue, but if anyone else stumbles across this, check your repo's settings: Actions -> Workflow settings -> Read and write permissions
