@AlexJeffcott

Looks like ${{ secrets.GITHUB_REGISTRY_TOKEN }} is empty or missing. Have you created the GITHUB_REGISTRY_TOKEN secret for your repository? See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/reference/encrypted-secrets#creating-encrypted-secrets-for-a-repository

[AlexJeffcott]

I have indeed created the PAT - I believe that the secrets are stripped out of the logs for security reasons.

Do you know of some way of varifying that the secret is actualy there?

EDIT
ah - forgive me I assumed you meant PAT, rather than a secret for the repo.

Will do that and get back to you.

[crazy-max]

@AlexJeffcott You have to create a PAT with the appropriate scopes and add it as a secret for your repo.

[AlexJeffcott]

Yes, I did exactly that just now and it works perfectly!
Thank you very much.
Can I suggest that you add this to the readme in some way as it was absolutely not clear to me that you had to do this?
