Missing environment variables

Error message

Missing environment variables

What it means

Top-of-script guard in a GitHub Action helper that links Sentry crash events to GitHub issues. It requires both GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY (the issue text injected by the workflow) and SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN (a Sentry API token). If either is unset or empty the script has nothing to work with and aborts before making any request.

Solutions

1. Run the script with both variables: GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY="$ISSUE_BODY" SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN=sntrys_... bun scripts/associate-issue-with-sentry.ts
2. Add SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN from repository secrets to the step's env: block in the workflow
3. Confirm both secrets exist and are non-empty under GitHub Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions

Example fix

# before
- run: bun scripts/associate-issue-with-sentry.ts

# after
- run: bun scripts/associate-issue-with-sentry.ts
  env:
    GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY: ${{ github.event.issue.body }}
    SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN }}

const body = process.env.GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY;
const token = process.env.SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN;
if (!body || !token) {
  console.error('missing env:', !body ? 'GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY' : 'SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN');
  process.exit(1);
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invoking scripts/associate-issue-with-sentry.ts outside its workflow without sourcing the env; a workflow step whose env: block forgot to pass GITHUB_ISSUE_BODY or SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN; a repository secret that was deleted or resolves to an empty string.

Common situations: Local dry-run of the script without the Action's env; workflow edited and env mapping dropped; Sentry token secret rotated away or removed from the repo.
