I had many environmental variables so I used to gpg to encrypt those variables in a file. I then made a script to decrypt that file and to store it the backend folder of my project during the run of the action All this are to happen in the github action (see below the yml file) That script of mine looks something like this:
My script is running well when I am executing this command in the project root But it fails during the github action My
It is giving me this error: How can I fix this ? Please help |

Thank you so much! This solved the issue for me too! Any tips on how to do this by default on a Windows machine for bash scripts? |

manpreetsinghminhas:
How do you mean “by default”? If you mean marking scripts as executable, no. Unix-ish systems don’t do that either, it’s just that there you automatically notice if something isn’t marked as executable but should. You could try to make a pre-commit hook with some sort of heuristic to detect scripts, but I doubt it’s worth the effort. |

Depends on the exact output that'd tell you what was denied. If you need help posting a link is best, copy the step output if the repo is private (censor anything private). If the problem is that If it's anything else… That might warrant a separate discussion. 😉 |

This means that the key with which the host identifies itself couldn't be recognized. That usually means one of two things:
This part of your file makes me suspect the latter: The known hosts file needs to contain not only the hostname, but also the associated public key information, see: https://manpages.debian.org/bullseye/openssh-server/sshd.8.en.html#SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS_FILE_FORMAT As I said, please create a new discussion if you need more help, because this is a completely different topic from the original post. I will not be posting further off-topic responses here. |

on Linux or macOS, you can run the following command to set execution permission on the file: |

That most likely means that your
./.github/scripts/backend_decrypt.shscript doesn’t have the “execute” filesystem permission set. I assume you’re developing on Windows locally, which doesn’t have that kind of permission system.You can tell git to add the permission anyway with this command:
update-indexis similar toaddin that it adds the change to the index, so you’ll have to commit and push as usual.
