Cannot fetch private GithHub packages with git private token

[Peaj]

The build process cannot resolve package dependencies because it cannot fetch private git packages. I could not find any documentation on gitPrivateToken so I tried piecing it together from the issue #161 and the PR #287.

I did the following steps:

• Create a dedicated GitHub user
• Generate a personal access token for the user
• Add the token as a secret to the main repository
• Add the gitPrivateToken to the main.yml

This is my main.yml:

name: Actions 😎

on: [pull_request, workflow_dispatch]

jobs:
  build:
    name: Build my project ✨
    runs-on: windows-2019
    steps:
      # Checkout

      # Cache

        with:
          path: Library
          key: Library-${{ hashFiles('Assets/**', 'Packages/**', 'ProjectSettings/**') }}
          restore-keys: |

      #  with:

      #    path: artifacts

      # Build

        env:

          customParameters: -buildConfig Default -username='${{ secrets.USERNAME }}' -password='${{ secrets.PASSWORD }}'
          gitPrivateToken: ${{ secrets.PRIVATE_TOKEN }}

      # Output
      - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v2
        with:
          name: Build
          path: build

And this is the error:

An error occurred while resolving packages:
  Project has invalid dependencies:
    solutions.smartcave.common: Error when executing git command. fatal: Cannot prompt because terminal prompts have been disabled.
    fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': terminal prompts disabled

    You may need to set up a Git credentials helper
    to access a private repository.
    solutions.smartcave.creatortools: Error when executing git command. fatal: Cannot prompt because terminal prompts have been disabled.
    fatal: could not read Username for 'https://github.com/': terminal prompts disabled

    You may need to set up a Git credentials helper
    to access a private repository.

I tried cloning the package repos using the private tokens via git bash which works. So I guess the build process is not properly using the private token for some reason.

I would appreciate any help with the issue as I am running out of ideas 🤷

The problem seems to be that the "gitPrivateToken" feature has only been added for linux. I will try to get my pipeline running on linux for now and see if I can port it to windows if I get to it. I can confirm that building with private packages works on linux.
