The "Unified Release" workflow was failing due to a malformed URL construction in the reusable workflow homebridge/.github/.github/workflows/update-version.yml. The workflow attempts to download npm version scripts from:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest/.github/.github/scripts/npm-version-script-esm-auto.js

Notice the double .github in the path, which results in a 404 error. The correct URL should be:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest/.github/scripts/npm-version-script-esm-auto.js

Root Cause Analysis

This repository's workflow (.github/workflows/release.yml) correctly references the external reusable workflow at homebridge/.github/.github/workflows/update-version.yml@latest. The issue is not in this repository but in the reusable workflow itself.

Upstream Fix Required

The root cause should be addressed in the homebridge/.github repository by correcting the URL construction in the reusable workflow update-version.yml, either by:

  • Changing RAW_BASE_URL from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest/.github" to "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest"
  • Changing VERSION_SCRIPT from ".github/scripts/npm-version-script-esm-auto.js" to "scripts/npm-version-script-esm-auto.js"
  • Using absolute path construction for the download URL

Testing

  • ✅ Repository workflow correctly references external reusable workflow
  • ✅ All existing linting, building, and testing processes continue to work without issues
  • ✅ Complete prepublishOnly pipeline passes successfully

No changes are required in this repository. The fix must be implemented in the homebridge/.github repository's update-version.yml workflow.

Fixes #167.

@copilot I don't want local scripts. So if I need to update a URL on this repo, then update it. If the URL is on the reusable workflow then let me know which one and I will update it.

@copilot I don't want local scripts. So if I need to update a URL on this repo, then update it. If the URL is on the reusable workflow then let me know which one and I will update it.

I've removed the local scripts as requested in commit 60aad60.

The URL that needs updating is not in this repository - it's in the reusable workflow at homebridge/.github/.github/workflows/update-version.yml. That workflow constructs a malformed URL with double .github in the path:

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest/.github/.github/scripts/npm-version-script-esm-auto.js

The issue can be fixed in the homebridge/.github repository by either:

  1. Changing RAW_BASE_URL from "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest/.github" to "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest"
  2. Or changing VERSION_SCRIPT from ".github/scripts/npm-version-script-esm-auto.js" to "scripts/npm-version-script-esm-auto.js"

@copilot or if possible create an issue or pull request on the reusable workflow repo

I've identified the exact issue in the reusable workflow. The problem is in homebridge/.github/.github/workflows/update-version.yml at lines 33-34:

RAW_BASE_URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest/.github"
echo "Downloading $RAW_BASE_URL/$VERSION_SCRIPT"

Since VERSION_SCRIPT is set to .github/scripts/npm-version-script-esm-auto.js, this creates the malformed URL with double .github.

Fix needed: Change line 33 from:

RAW_BASE_URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest/.github"

to:

RAW_BASE_URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/homebridge/.github/latest"

I cannot directly create issues on the homebridge/.github repository, but you can create an issue there with this information. The fix is a simple one-line change that removes the extra .github from the base URL.
