Private https repos in manifest.json about unity-test-runner

[shubear]

I even tried using SSH keys mentioned in this documentation, and it continues to fails

Update on the issue, i managed to get SSH to run by changing the manifest.json dependencies to use ssh ssh://[email protected]/
Previously it was https://github.com/
Is there a way for the actions to work with https ?

I haven't tested this, this is only a suggestion, but here's what I would try:

Since you still need authentication to happen when using https (for private repositories), you might need to find a way to execute the following in the container where git commands happen. I don't exactly know where and how to do it as part of github-actions

git config credential.helper '!f() { sleep 1; echo "username=${GIT_USER}"; echo "password=${GIT_PASSWORD}"; }; f'

This will configure git credentials using environment variables. ref: https://stackoverflow.com/a/43022442/1092815

To achieve this, it might be necessary to fork the game-ci/unity-test-runner action or the builder (depending on what you're trying to achieve) and inject this command before the test or build command happens.

It would also be preferable to use ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }} instead of actual username/password credentials.

Also note that this is just a suggestion and a workaround. There is most likely a better way than that. Using ssh is indeed much easier than the above ;)

Here are some documentation concerning authentication in a workflow for github-actions and the GITHUB_TOKEN secret:

Perhaps you could also manipulate git config to use ssh in CI over https.

I recently saw a great example of how to do this.

Should be fixed by #152
