This article provides solutions for the issue of failed deployments related to Github token failures caused by outdated Composer keys.

Affected products and versions

NOTE

Adobe Commerce on-premises merchants should check with their host provider to ensure they are using Composer version 1.10.21 or higher due to the token format changes introduced by Git.

Issue

Deployments fail and deployment logs contain information similar to the following:

Fatal error: Uncaught UnexpectedValueException: Your github oauth token for github.com contains invalid characters: “ghp_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx” in /app/vendor/composer/composer/src/Composer/IO/BaseIO.php:129

Cause

Outdated Composer keys cause the Github token failures which result in failed deployments.

Solution

To resolve the issue, please update your Composer version to 1.10.22:

  1. On your local environment, run composer require “composer/composer”:”>1.10.21.
  2. This adds the requirement for that Composer package version. Check the lock file - composer/composer version must be 1.0.22 or higher.
  3. Commit composer.json and composer.lock and push a deployment.

If this method does not work, please submit a support ticket.
