Flutter: Running flutter pub get in github actions with private dependencies

I'm using plugins that hosted privately in Github with an ssh access. When running flutter pub get in Github actions this command fails. I followed a tutorial that uses a deploy key and I tried this:

jobs:
    build:
        runs-on: ubuntu-18.04
        steps:
            -   uses: actions/checkout@v1

            -   name: Setup SSH Keys and known_hosts
                env:
                    SSH_AUTH_SOCK: /tmp/ssh_agent.sock
                run: |
                    mkdir -p ~/.ssh
                    ssh-keyscan github.com >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
                    ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK > /dev/null
                    ssh-add - <<< "${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}"

            -   name: Some task that fetches dependencies
                env:
                    SSH_AUTH_SOCK: /tmp/ssh_agent.sock
                run: flutter pub get

also tried:

  - uses: webfactory/[email protected]
    with:
      ssh-private-key: ${{ secrets.SSH_PRIVATE_KEY }}
  - name: Fetch flutter dependencies
    run: flutter pub get

But the command still fails. What am I doing wrong and is there another way to make this command fetch private keys?

You can use this action to add your ssh key.

https://github.com/marketplace/actions/install-ssh-key

Insert the private key and the known hosts in the secrets of your repository.

NOTE: OPENSSH format (key begins with -----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----) may not work due to OpenSSH version on VM. Please use PEM format (begins with -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----) instead. In order to convert your key inline to PEM format simply use ssh-keygen -p -m PEM -f ~/.ssh/id_rsa.

You can get the known hosts using:

ssh-keyscan github.com

After this add the ssh in your workflow:

- uses: shimataro/ssh-key-action@v2
    with:
      key: ${{ secrets.SSH }}
      name: id_rsa
      known_hosts: ${{ secrets.KNOWN_HOSTS }}

I hope this can help you
