gpg-agent is already running

[pogossian]

Hi there!
Something is going wrong with the action

Run hashicorp/ghaction-import-gpg@v2.1.0
Run gpg-agent --daemon --default-cache-ttl 7200
gpg-agent[1632]: directory '/home/runner/.gnupg' created
gpg-agent[1632]: directory '/home/runner/.gnupg/private-keys-v1.d' created
gpg-agent: a gpg-agent is already running - not starting a new one
Error: Process completed with exit code 2.

here is the failed job

is there any work around available?

For a temporary workaround you can create a local github action with the contents if this github-action without the gpg-agent --daemon part.

This is not the best solution, but worked as a quick fix for me 🤷 .

Same issue here: https://github.com/Ferlab-Ste-Justine/configurations-auto-updater/runs/7306407969?check_suite_focus=true

Did the same as ernestre. I guess as long as your build takes less than 10 minutes, it is a viable workaround.

I didn't wait for a fix, and switched to crazy-max action

         name: Import GPG key
         id: import_gpg
         uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v5
         with:
           # These secrets will need to be configured for the repository:
           gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
           passphrase: ${{ secrets.PASSPHRASE }}

Hey everyone- Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. As of 2-3 days ago, GitHub's runners now run gpg-agent by default which is causing the error you've reported.

Instead of cutting a new release and asking users to pin to latest, we recommend switching over to the upstream directly - crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg (v5.0.0). This HashiCorp action was originally created to get around this known limitation in the crazy-max upstream. Since that issue has been resolved, and the author of the upstream has continued to maintain it and a number of other well-known, well-documented, and well-used actions, we will be officially deprecating this action and archiving the repo.

Update: Note that there are a few small changes between this action and the upstream. You'll need to change the snippet of yaml from this:

uses: hashicorp/ghaction-import-gpg@v2.1.0
env:
  GPG_PRIVATE_KEY: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
  PASSPHRASE: ${{ secrets.GPG_PASSPHRASE }} 

To this:

uses: crazy-max/ghaction-import-gpg@v5.0.0
with:
  gpg_private_key: ${{ secrets.GPG_PRIVATE_KEY }}
  passphrase: ${{ secrets.GPG_PASSPHRASE }}
