api/import-repo throws HTTP 500

[saschanaz]

I wanted to import w3c/web-locks but doing that via https://labs.w3.org/repo-manager/repo/import throws HTTP 500 from that API. Not sure what's wrong, could someone take a look?

(It could be because wicg/web-locks already exists there but HTTP 500 is still suspicious.)

Looking at the logs, it seems you didn't provide enough GH permissions to import the repository. On the login page, there are 2 links to login. I'm guessing you selected the first link instead of the second one.
In any case, I imported the repository so it's now available in the manager.

Also, I see WICG/web-locks now redirects to w3c/web-locks. Can you confirm it was initially transfered to Marcos' account then to W3C?

I can confirm that.

I can confirm that.

Ok, then we should be good.

Can the error message be more user friendly? I've been already logged in so I had no chance to read such warning for this import.

It should be doable. I can also add a note on that page to mention the 2nd link. I'll try to find some time to work on this. I'll re-open the issue until then.
