ssh.ParsePrivateKey: ssh: no key found error [Solved]

Disclaimer : Due to my error i ended up opening this issue in other appleboy repo just moving here.

Hello im trying to upload my backend executable to server but getting this error at this step.

Note : Few days ago it was working without getting any upgrade on this part.

tar all files into /tmp/RgranDeiYJ.tar.gz
2023/04/16 00:33:41 ssh.ParsePrivateKey: ssh: no key found
remote server os type is unix
2023/04/16 00:33:41 ssh.ParsePrivateKey: ssh: no key found

And i have correct key with included begin and end parts.

It fails on deploy stage of the workflow file i provided below.


env:
  KEY: '${{ secrets.EC2_KEY }}'
  HOST: '${{ secrets.EC2_HOST }}'
  USERNAME: '${{secrets.EC2_USERNAME}}'
