Stats

The stats are calculated as follows:

• Time to review: The time a reviewer takes from the Pull Request publication or the last Commit push (whatever happens last) to the first time the pull request is reviewed.
• Time to review: The median of the times to review of all Pull Requests reviewed by a person in the period.
• Total reviews: The count of all Pull Requests reviewed by a person in the period.
• Total comments: The count of all the comments while reviewing other users' Pull Requests in the period (comments in own PRs don't count).

Troubleshooting

1. Make sure the repositories have pull request reviews during the configured period.
2. When specifying repositories or organization parameters, a Personal Access Token is required in the token parameter.
3. If providing a Personal Access Token, ensure it has the repo permission for the projects you want.
4. If you are not providing a Personal Access Token (thus, the action is using the default GITHUB_TOKEN), make sure the job has the contents: read and pull-requests: write permissions While these permissions are typically provided by default, certain organizations may customize or overwrite them.

jobs:
  stats:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      - name: Run pull request stats
        uses: flowwer-dev/pull-request-stats@master

This error happens when the organization configures the action's permissions as read. To fix it, overwrite them by adding a permissions configuration in the workflow file. The minimum required permissions are contents: read and pull-requests: write:

jobs:
  stats:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    permissions:
      contents: read
      pull-requests: write
    steps:
      - name: Run pull request stats
        uses: flowwer-dev/pull-request-stats@master

1. Check the sponsorship comes from the account that owns the configured repos (usually an organization).
2. Make sure the sponsorship is configured as public, otherwise, the action cannot access the sponsorship information. If you prefer to keep it private, please reach me out to make it work for you that way 😉.
