Overview of the Issue

While setting up Atlantis, the webhook would fire, but return "Ignoring unsupported event" for supported events. After building the image locally with extra debug steps, I was able to determine the line and get a better error message Error parsing webhook: json: cannot unmarshal array into Go struct field Repository.repository.custom_properties of type string . When I removed the value from custom properties I had set on my repo, the issue went away

I found a similar discussion regarding the issue of "Ignoring unsupported event" when custom properties are set. In this discussion, a user experienced a similar problem where custom properties on their GitHub repository caused the webhook parsing to fail. The solution was to remove the custom properties, which resolved the issue ^[1].

It seems that the custom properties in the webhook payload might not be handled correctly by Atlantis, leading to parsing errors. If you have custom properties set, consider removing them to see if it resolves the issue.

This seems to be the same issue as here - #4989 (comment) and seems to stem from go-github (https://github.com/google/go-github), specifically - https://github.com/google/go-github/blob/master/github/messages.go#L319

I checked and this was fixed in https://github.com/google/go-github/releases/tag/v64.0.0 however atlantis wasn't bumped to this version until 2 weeks ago after the latest release

Thanks. I'm going to close this as it appears that the fix is in place.
