Woodpecker SSH push

[MB175]

• Is the key even loaded in the second configuration ? (Examples below)
• If the format really is invalid in the first example, what format should the private key be and does it need to be parsed somehow ?

Environment 1:

Secret has been set ssh_key, with rsa or ed key same result.

I also tried to change the line endings of the keys with sed, no luck.

sed ':b;N;$!bb;s/\n/\\n/g'

.woodpecker.yml

pipeline:
  publish:
    image: appleboy/drone-git-push
    settings:
      branch: main
      remote: git@github.com:<removed>
      force: false
      commit: true
      commit_message: "Drone build ${DRONE_COMMIT_SHA:0:7}"
      author_name: "John Doe"
      author_email: "johndoe123@example.com"
      ssh_key:
        from_secret: ssh_key

Warning: Permanently added 'github.com' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts.
Load key "/root/.ssh/id_rsa": invalid format
git@github.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Environment 2:

Same as in Environment 1 just without the definition of the secret name.

.woodpecker.yml

pipeline:
...
...
      author_email: "johndoe123@example.com"
      #ssh_key:
      # from_secret: ssh_key

Host key verification failed.
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Had the same issue. Make sure the secret ends with an newline (\n)

I tried that, still the same issue /n unix line ending should be fine right ?

Recreated everything including new keys on GitHub, Environment 1 is now working.
