ansible-galaxy role import: error: the following arguments are required: github_repo

[Julien]

Tried different combinations with or without path to use galaxy action but not working.
I fear that I'm missing something obvious but can you help give me directions to make it work?

https://github.com/juju4/ansible-adduser/actions/workflows/galaxy.yml

my current workflow

---
name: Ansible Galaxy release

on:
  release:
    types: [created, edited, published, released]
  push:
    tags:
      - '*'
jobs:
  build:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
        with:
          path: juju4.adduser
  release:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs:
      - build
    steps:
      - name: galaxy
        uses: robertdebock/galaxy-action@1.1.1
        with:
          galaxy_api_key: ${{ secrets.galaxy_api_key }}
          path: juju4.adduser

but still getting above error which seems to indicate a missing variable but outside of galaxy_api_key and path, I see nothing.

Hi,

You may mention path, when your code is not in the current directory (./). In my case; the Ansible role is in the current directory (./), so I can just not mention the path.

Here is my use-case: https://github.com/robertdebock/ansible-role-users/blob/master/.github/workflows/galaxy.yml

Regards,

Robert.

That was my initial attempt but failing.

I had the same problem. I had forgotten to insert the galaxy_api_key as a repository secret.

@robertdebock, maybe you could add this as a known error in the readme, or check that galaxy_api_key is defined?

[Robert de Bock]

I've described it a bit more explicit in the README.md. Let me know if you have a better description.

[Julien]

In my case, galaxy_api_key is defined (but variable name converted upper case by GITHUB)

[Sebastian]

I was struggling with the exact same issue and now found the culprit in how I entered the API key in GitHub:
You must define it as Repository secret, not as Environment secret.

[Julien]

That's it. working now. Good call! Thanks a lot!

[Julien]

For information, if others get this error appearing again, ensure to update galaxy-action to 1.2.1.
I got error with 1.1.1
