octokit.issues.create didn't work for me. Error Cannot read property 'create' of undefined

[boanders74]

The lesson says to use this code
const github = require("@actions/github");
const octokit = new github.getOctokit(token);
const newIssue = await octokit.issues.create({

but the create seemed to always fail with this error below.

I found online someone that used this and that seemed to work for me
const newIssue = await octokit.rest.issues.create({

I had this issue too. v5.0.0 of @actions/github seems to have added .rest to the method call. (presumably this is due to a change in octokit/rest.js, but I didn't look that up)

Same problem, have to add .rest.
