Copying SteamGuard files failed with "is a directory"

[cr4yz]

Copying the SteamGuard files is failing, it appears to be that the ssfn file does not have an extension and is seen as an attempt to create a directory rather than the file we need.

https://github.com/game-ci/steam-deploy/runs/4627291074?check_suite_focus=true#step:4:254 https://github.com/game-ci/steam-deploy/runs/4627291074?check_suite_focus=true#step:4:257

For those runs, configVdf, ssfnFileName, and ssfnFileContents were all empty, hence the error.

The reason they were empty is because we do not have a Steam Build Account that we can use for GameCI testing. See the open issue: https://github.com/game-ci/steam-deploy/issues/18

We are discussing creating a legal entity in the GameCI discord. Once that is complete, we will setup the Steam Build Account and close #18 . After that, these errors will not happen.

Closing this issue, but feel free to create another issue if you are running into a similar issue with your own project.

[cr4yz]

I ran into the same errors on my own project where ssfnFilename, ssfnFileContents, and configVdf were set via secrets. The deploy fails when Steam login asks for an authentication code.

[davidmfinol]

Can you share the logs for your build? Are you getting this exact same error?:

/home/runner/work/steam-deploy/steam-deploy/.//steam_deploy.sh: 85: cannot create /opt/hostedtoolcache/steamcmd/latest/i386/: Is a directory
/home/runner/work/steam-deploy/steam-deploy/.//steam_deploy.sh: 85: echo: echo: I/O error

[cr4yz]

Yep I am getting the same error:

That's odd. Is $STEAM_HOME set to an absolute path /opt/hostedtoolcache/steamcmd/latest/i386/config/config for some reason?

[davidmfinol]

For some reason, ssfnFileName seems to be empty for you.

/home/runner/work/_actions/game-ci/steam-deploy/main/steam_deploy.sh: 85: cannot create /opt/hostedtoolcache/steamcmd/latest/i386/: Is a directory appears when it tries to copy /opt/hostedtoolcache/steamcmd/latest/i386/<ssfnFileName> and is empty.

Can you double-check if you properly set STEAM_SSFN_FILE_NAME in your GitHub Secrets?

[cr4yz]

Ah user error on my part, I had a typo in the key name =\

Thank you very much!
