GitHub actions ImageMagick: convert-im6.q16: not authorized

[filiptronicek]

I wanted to setup moviepy as a small experiment on GitHub actions, but I stumbled upon a problem with moviepy locating the binary.

Although it's a part of the preinstalled suite of dependencies and programs on GitHub's Ubuntu distribution (complete list here). moviepy cannot locate it.
Is this a GitHub or a moviepy problem?

Expected Behavior

The program renders the video just fine (tested on my Windows 10 PC.)

Actual Behavior

Specifications

• Python Version: 3.8
• Moviepy Version: 1.0.3
• Platform Name: Ubuntu Linux
• Platform Version: 18.04.4 LTS

That error message is just a generic one for when ImageMagick fails. The other 2 lines indicate that it can find ImageMagick, but it is failing due to #693 (comment).

You can add the following line into your install script to fix it:

  cat /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml | sed 's/none/read,write/g' | sudo tee /etc/ImageMagick-6/policy.xml

I suppose that you might need to replace 6 with 7.

That did the trick! Thanks! Works just fine with version six.
