Github actions & IDF Component Manager

[kaspernyhus]

I'm trying to use the espressif github actions `espressif/esp-idf-ci-action@v1` to build a project in my CI pipeline that uses the IDF Component Manager to fetch a component from a private github repo.

I made a test project with this manifest file:

idf_component.yml

Code: Select all

## IDF Component Manager Manifest File
dependencies:
  espressif/button: "^2.5.0"
  ## Required IDF version
  idf:
    version: ">=4.1.0"

  # For components in git repository:
  esp_arithmetic:
    path: "./component_add"
    version: "*"
    git: "git@github.com:kaspernyhus/multi_component_test.git"

because this repo is private github actions cannot fetch this code.

The authenticity of host 'github.com' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is

How can I give the IDF Component Manager running on github access to this private git repo?

Thanks!

I have tried including ssh-agent in the workflow and passing ssh keys from repo secrets, and setting known_hosts in different ways but I still get the error:

The authenticity of host 'github.com (140.82.112.3)' can't be established.
ECDSA key fingerprint is SHA256:p2QAMXNIC1TJYWeIOttrVc98/R1BUFWu3/LiyKgUfQM.

the only solution I can think of right now is to check 'managed_components' and 'dependencies.lock' into git and make sure that the versions match so the workflow wont have to update the dependencies.

That doesn't seem to be the most elegant solution though...

and I suspect that it will only work with esp-idf v.5 and above.

Tried building in CI with managed_components folder and dependencies.lock checked in with esp-idf v4.4.4 and it doesn't work. Even though the manifest files haven't changed it seems the build system tries to connect to the private repo.

With esp-idf v5.1.1 it works...

might have found the solution in the docs:

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/idf ... n-manifest

but I struggle with getting the component manager to read the environment variable set in github actions because these might not get passed into the docker image running the build

Here is a modified workflow that allows for passing an access token
