Added my private key as SSH_PRIVATE_KEY and public key as deploy key with comment [email protected]:olvresc/aaa.git

At first sight, configuration looks ok.

Could you try git clone [email protected]:olvresc/aaa.git as the URL please?

Hi, was able to clone the repository (on my machine)

$ git clone [email protected]:olvresc/aaa.git

I have the same issue.

I am using this action to use a deploy key to pull a private submodule.

When I use this action:

      - uses: webfactory/[email protected]
         with:
           ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_DEPLOY_KEY}}
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
         with:
           submodules: true

I get the following output from my checkout step:

Fetching submodules
  /usr/bin/git submodule sync
  /usr/bin/git -c protocol.version=2 submodule update --init --force --depth=1
  Submodule 'bar' ([email protected]:foo/bar.git) registered for path 'src/bar'
  Cloning into '/opt/actions-runner/_work/baz/baz/src/bar'...

  Error: fatal: repository 'https://github.com/foo/bar.git/' not found

  Cloning into '/opt/actions-runner/_work/baz/baz/src/bar'...

  Error: fatal: repository 'https://github.com/foo/bar.git/' not found

  Failed to clone 'src/bar' a second time, aborting
  Error: The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 1

However when I use a fork of this project that has been extended to add repo-mappings, it works without any further alterations:

      - uses: shaunco/ssh-agent@git-repo-mapping
         with:
           ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_DEPLOY_KEY }}
           repo-mappings: github.com/foo/bar
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
         with:
           submodules: true

This makes me believe that there is nothing wrong with my SSH deploy key and instead there is a bug in this project.

I read the main README and it sounds like I should not experience any issues as this is the only SSH private key I install, and I only pull one submodule.

Nevermind, I spoke to soon. After merging and the CI running a few more times the issue still happens, it just appears to not happen all the time.

This problem no longer happens for me with the latest ssh-agent.

The only thing that has changed is that I'm now using actions/checkout@v4 instead of v3:

      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          submodules: true

My config now looks like:

      - uses: webfactory/[email protected]
         with:
           ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_DEPLOY_KEY }}
           repo-mappings: github.com/foo/bar
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
         with:
           submodules: true
