Get-GitHubReleaseAsset only returns first 30 assets

[pauby]

Issue Details

Using Get-GitHubReleaseAsset on a release with more than 30 assets, only returns the first 30. Note that I'm using a GitHub token. I have tried this on Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell 7.2.6 on Windows.

Steps to reproduce the issue

# note that the latest as of this date is 1.22.0 which has 39 release assets (https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/releases/tag/v1.22.0)
$> $release = Get-GitHubRelease -OwnerName syncthing -RepositoryName syncthing -Latest
$> $asset = Get-GitHubReleaseAsset -OwnerName syncthing -RepositoryName syncthing -Release $release.id
$> $asset.count
30

Suggested solution to the issue

Is paging at play here? If so, how do I get the second page? No suggested solution.

Thanks for the report.

I just drafted up a fix that I've locally verified works, but I need to update some tests as well.

Get-GitHubReleaseAsset combines three different API's into a single command: returning the full list of assets, returning a single asset and downloading an asset. In order to support downloading, it uses the single-call API (Invoke-GHRestMethod):

PowerShellForGitHub/GitHubReleases.ps1

Lines 872 to 883 in 9aac697

	$params = @{
	'UriFragment' = $uriFragment
	'Method' = 'Get'
	'Description' = $description
	'AcceptHeader' = $acceptHeader
	'Save' = $shouldSave
	'AccessToken' = $AccessToken
	'TelemetryEventName' = $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name
	'TelemetryProperties' = $telemetryProperties
	}
	$result = Invoke-GHRestMethod @params

However, for the "full list of assets" scenario, it really needs to be using Invoke-GHRestMethodMultipleResult which will automatically take care of paging.

Awesome. Thanks for picking that up and troubleshooting it so quickly.

Can we get a PR on this one? It's been a while and appears to have a fix:

[pauby]

@Xander-Rudolph are you asking for me to submit a PR?

@Xander-Rudolph are you asking for me to submit a PR?

Anyone who can 😁. I had to do a really janky workaround because I'm using this PowerShell module on ephemeral images.

[pauby]

👍 I worked around it by creating my own function that does the work I need. It's not as complete as this as I don't need all the functionality so nothing I can PR in.

@HowardWolosky Could you please create a pull request for your draft? I'd really like to have this fix released so that my CI works correctly
