Please fix it. 🙏

@socar-baegoon did you configure your submodule via ssh? can you try configure your submodule using https://github.com/org/repo format?

[elan]

Tried that and it didn't work.

Cloning into '/home/runner/work/xxx/xxx/player'...
remote: Repository not found.
fatal: repository 'https://github.com/yyy/zzz/' not found

This issue occurs not because of ssh, but because of private repository.
submodule is in the same owner's repository, but the issue occurs. 😢

[elan]

(In my case it's a different owner—org vs personal—but still can't make it work. All are private repos.)

This is happening to me too. I've tried setting the token input but it didn't work either.

[TingluoHuang]

@maxilevi have your try set token to be your PAT? the default GITHUB_TOKEN might not have permission to your submodules repo.

[maxilevi]

@TingluoHuang Yes, I've created a new PAT with full repo access and added it as a secret to the repository. Then I called the action this way:

- uses: actions/checkout@v1
   with:
      token: ${{ secrets.HEDRA_CI }}
      submodules: true

And it fails with the following error (same as the other guys):

Host key verification failed.
##[error]fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
##[error]fatal: clone of 'git@github.com:maxilevi/zzz.git' into submodule path 'D:/a/yyy/zzz' failed
Failed to clone 'zzz'. Retry scheduled

[TingluoHuang]

@maxilevi your submodules are configured via ssh, can you try add them as https?

[maxilevi]

@TingluoHuang Thank you, it works now. Any plans on supporting ssh?

Thank you! It works!

I will close this issue.
Thank you for everybody help. ❤️

I ran into this same issue and made a slightly different tweak. As part of my workflow I use .gitconfig to tweak the URLs. That way I don't have to switch from using the git protocol to https in my .gitmodules file and affect my development setup.

As my first step in my YAML file, before running actions/checkout with submodules: true:

    - name: Fix up git URLs
      run: echo -e '[url "https://github.com/"]\n  insteadOf = "git@github.com:"' >> ~/.gitconfig

@TingluoHuang I feel like this issue should be reopened if it's not the desired behavior, and if it is I think it needs to be better documented. I can open another issue if that is desirable.

[TingluoHuang]

@joeshaw i am in the process of documenting all these problems.

Hi there, I am having exactly the same issue here.
Although my submodule is configured to use https

All submodules are authenticated using the same credentials so I wonder why GITHUB_TOKEN does not work.
