Resolve issues with nightly snapshot publishing.

[nightm4re94]

Since https://github.com/gurkenlabs/litiengine/commit/7b314e5f2c34328623a5b2883d38826eb96354b9, we have been unable to publish nightly snapshots. The workflow has been disabled for now.

[weisJ]

I have already commented on this before: https://github.com/gurkenlabs/litiengine/pull/446#issuecomment-1010217817

I suppose thatched way the gpg key is passed isn’t working correctly i.e there is a line feed character before the word PGP. Could you double check the repository secret for this?

[nightm4re94]

The secret has been updated - any idea why it still fails? The error is: Task 'PGP' is ambiguous in root project 'litiengine-sdk'. Candidates are: 'publishLitienginePublicationToMavenLocal', 'publishLitienginePublicationToNexusRepository'.

[Gamebuster19901]

My guess is that PROPS_SIGNING needs to be surrounded by quotation marks.

Private PGP keys always begin with the following sequence -----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK----- gradle arguments also begin with - or --

So when /gradlew prepareVote $(echo $PROPS_RELEASE $PROPS_GIT $PROPS_NEXUS $PROPS_SIGNING) --info -x test is ran, $PROPS_SIGNING is turned into -----BEGIN PGP PRIVATE KEY BLOCK-----.

Then, -----BEGIN is taken as an argument, and ignored, leaving PGP to be interpreted as a gradle task.

[Gamebuster19901]

hmm I have no idea then

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/71377300/gradle-maven-publish-task-pgp-not-found

[weisJ]

I suppose the in-memory key does not expect the -----BEGIN/END PGP [...]----- lines at the start/end of the key. You can try to remove it from the repository secret.

If this also doesn't work this is what I am using and works for me: Instead of relying on the behaviour of line breaks in CLI arguments simply store the key with # instead of line breaks. Then use the following in the gradle script:

configure<SigningExtension> {
    useInMemoryPgpKeys(
        project.stringProperty("signing.inMemoryKey")?.replace("#", "\n"),
        project.stringProperty("signing.password")
    )
}

[nightm4re94]

None of the suggestions helped. I always end up with the following message:

I have tested the setup locally and signing the artefacts works for me, so there must still be some issue with the gpg key you are passing. For comparison this is what my setup for the key looks like (letters aren't from my actual key and made up):

signing.inMemoryKey = AOW4GLK3[Rest of the ASII armore Key. Newline characters are literally typed as '\n']+kLV258acUmLTRf8=\n=zlqD

[nightm4re94]

not working for me unfortunately.

[Gamebuster19901]

The PGP key is malformed. Did you remove ANY newlines? If so, you can't do that, they are required.

How did you export your PGP key?

was it via gpg --list-secret-keys or gpg --armor --export-secret-keys?

See https://stackoverflow.com/a/70047098 (and comments), and https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57921325/gradle-signarchives-unable-to-read-secret-key/58000485#58000485.

[nightm4re94]

I had read and followed both suggestions before, using gpg --armor --export-secret-keys and not removing anything.

[weisJ]

You should remove the -----BEGIN/END PGP [...]----- part at the start and end of the key as well as replace any newline with the literal \n

[nightm4re94]

Have tried that in several of my 23 attempts so far to no avail.

[weisJ]

Have you verified locally that building the snapshot from the commandline works?

[Gamebuster19901]

@nightm4re94 does release.yml work?

[Gamebuster19901]

Seems to be the same issue as https://github.com/sbt/sbt-ci-release/issues/16?

[nightm4re94]

@nightm4re94 does release.yml work?

will try tomorrow!
