I'm using Forge App for Forking Repository across workspace, but it is not working.

I'm using Forge App for Forking Repository across workspace, all the permissions and required scopes are provided to the Forge App. Still whenever we try to Fork Repo from a different workspace (forking a public repo) through Forge app, getting issues.

Hello @Shipra Kumari ,

and welcome to the Community!

I would like to clarify a few questions first so we can narrow down the issue:

What are the scopes currently configured in your Forge App ?
In your Forge App, are you authenticating the API call to create a fork using .asApp() or .asUser() ?
Does the forking work when you try to fork a repository in the same workspace where the forge app is installed?
Does the forking only fail when forking from a different workspace?
Could you confirm if the repository in the external workspace is configured to allow forks? You can check that by navigating to the repository in the UI and checking if the Fork options are shown in the UI.

This additional information we'll help us on finding what might be causing this error.

Thank you, @Shipra Kumari !

Hi @Patrik S ,
Please find the additional info as requested

What are the scopes currently configured in your Forge App ?
- read:repository:bitbucket
- write:repository:bitbucket
- admin:repository:bitbucket
- read:pullrequest:bitbucket
- write:pullrequest:bitbucket
- read:project:bitbucket
- admin:project:bitbucket
- read:workspace:bitbucket
read:user:bitbucketIn your Forge App, are you authenticating the API call to create a fork using .asApp() or .asUser() ?

We are authenticating the API call to create the fork using .asApp().

Does the forking work when you try to fork a repository in the same workspace where the forge app is installed?

Yes, the forking works when we fork a repository in the same workspace.

Does the forking only fail when forking from a different workspace?

Yes, the forking only fails when forking from a different workspace.

Could you confirm if the repository in the external workspace is configured to allow forks? You can check that by navigating to the repository in the UI and checking if the Fork options are shown in the UI.

Yes, it is enabled.

Also the Forge app is installed in both the workspaces so that it can have permissions in both the workspaces.

Hello @Shipra Kumari ,

Thanks for providing the additional information.

Upon confirmation with our engineering team, forge request tokens are linked to the workspace the app is installed in and where it was generated, so you can fork within the same workspace, as you confirmed to be working, but not from a different workspace (even if the app is installed in both).

Thank you, @Shipra Kumari !
