Description

If I create a repository via the migration tool releases dont show up in the rest response.

Steps to reproduce:
click on "+" "new migration"
enter https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea into "clone url"

query the rest interface via bash (or swagger)

token=xxx
usern=xxx
server=server .name

curl -X GET "https://$server/api/v1/repos/$user/gitea/releases?access_token=$token" -H "accept: application/json"

No migrated releases are shown, if you create a new release in this this repository the rest api returns a result, but the migrated ones are still missing.

Screenshots

hiere is a screenshot, the newly entered release "test" is shown in the api, the migrated ones are not.

There is a difference between releases and tags. Note in your screenshot how the new release you created looks different from the imported tags.

[wlauppe]

ah ok, thats confusing, but the migrated repository still lists 53 releases, so they must have been imported? or not?

[techknowlogick]

just like on github the releases tab includes tags as well as releases.

Thanks for the quick reply, so to summerize:
even if counterintuitive at first it works as intended.
Releases are not imported from github only tags are.
Tags can not by queried at the moment by the rest api but will be in the 1.8 release
