Deprecation warning about /seach/issues GitHub API endpoint

[pbrisbin]

Using the semantic-release/github plugin, I see a deprecation warning about a /search/issues endpoint:

[11:20:42 AM] [semantic-release] › ℹ  Running semantic-release version 24.2.3
...

[11:21:41 AM] [semantic-release] [@semantic-release/github] › ℹ  Skip commenting on issues and pull requests.
[@octokit/request] "GET https://api.github.com/search/issues?q=in%3Atitle+repo%3Apbrisbin%2Fjsonpatch+type%3Aissue+state%3Aopen+The%20automated%20release%20is%20failing%20%F0%9F%9A%A8" is deprecated. It is scheduled to be removed on Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT. See https://github.blog/changelog/2025-03-06-github-issues-projects-api-support-for-issues-advanced-search-and-more/

I didn't see any existing Issues about that here, so I thought you should know.

I'm also kind of confused why this request is being made at all when I've disabled commenting on issues and pull requests entirely. That may be its own thing worth fixing too.

thanks for the heads up @pbrisbin. since this is specific to our github plugin, i'm moving this to the appropriate repo

#1037 from @babblebey, that is marked as resolving this issue, seems to have stalled.

The deprecation warning says:

It is scheduled to be removed on Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:00:00 GMT.
See https://github.blog/changelog/2025-03-06-github-issues-projects-api-support-for-issues-advanced-search-and-more/

so there is still 3 months.

Will this issue be addressed in time?

the deprecation warning should not be causing failures at this time. please run with the --debug flag to see if additional output about your failure is shown

[RupertBarrow]

Thanks Matt @travi , I fixed this issue, which was caused by something else.

[DuncanMcPherson]

I second @MikeMcC399 in concern for if this will be fixed in time for the september removal of the endpoints.

[travi]

folks, this is a breaking change since the resolution will be to remove the current fallback, so it needs to be coordinated with when we are releasing a major version. we still have multiple months to address this, so there is not a rush yet
