Error Loading SSH Key

[sauld95]

I'm not too familiar with how Github actions, tokens or ssh keys really work and I feel that I'm possibly inputting the wrong information.

I'm receiving an error on this step.
Source repo path I have it set in this format: username/repository

      - name: actions-template-sync
        uses: AndreasAugustin/actions-template-sync@v2
        with:
          github_token: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}
          source_repo_path: ${{ secrets.SOURCE_REPO_PATH }}
          source_repo_ssh_private_key: ${{ secrets.SOURCE_REPO_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}

59 Load key "/tmp/.ssh/id_rsa_actions_template_sync": error in libcrypto
60 [email protected]: Permission denied (publickey).
61 fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
62
63 Please make sure you have the correct access rights
64 and the repository exists.
65 fatal: Needed a single revision
66 Error: Process completed with exit code 128.

I'm not sure why I'm being denied. I set the repository secret to the ssh private key and added the ssh public key to the deploy keys in the template repository

Hi @sauld95 and thanks for your question.

Reading your description I assume you are using a repository within public github.com.

Hmmm 🤔 according your description it seems you are setting everything up in the right way.

I can think that e.g. the copied keys are somehow malformed. Currently am not sure (anymore) if needed, but if you have a new line at the end of the keys this could possibly be an issue. (also trim white spaces at the end). Also a theoreticall possibility is that you have used a unsupported. Same for the repo path.

Another possibility is that you did not copy the full key. You need to use the full output including the start and end of the key.

Reading the error message I assume the ssh key does not have a password. Passwords are not supported.

Remark:
A tutorial about the setup can be found here: https://dev.to/andreasaugustin/github-actions-template-sync-1g9k

Hope this helps somehow. Please get back with your result or if it does not work :)
