Github Action workflow does not work about staticrypt HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi,

If I understand correctly you are pushing a blank .staticrypt.json file at the root of your project? Then I believe this is the problem: this file needs to be a valid JSON file for staticrypt to run.

It needs to be included in your source code, staticrypt will create a random one if it doesn't exist at encryption time but since you're encrypting in a github action it will be in a fresh container each time, so it will create a new random .staticrypt.json with a new random salt each time. This will defeat the purpose of having this file, which is used to keep the salt constant in between runs.

What you can do to get a valid one is either encrypt an empty file on your local machine, which will create a .staticrypt.json file, or you can just create it yourself by getting a random salt (you can do npx staticrypt -s to get one, or just get a 32 random alphanum string anywhere, like here) and writing this file:

{
    "salt": "<random_salt>"
}

from staticrypt.
