0 byte download when using pgutil assets/packages download in github workflow

mmaharjan_0067

I have a custom github action that runs the commands explicitly:

pgutil sources add --name=Default --url=<myURL> --api-key=<myKey>
pgutil packages list --feed=<myFeed>
pgutil packages download --source=Default --feed=<myFeed> --package=7zip --version=latest

which results in:

Storing credentials. Note: Sensitive values are obfuscated but not securely encrypted.
<long list of available packages appended by latest version>
Downloading 7zip latest from <myFeed> feed...
  Saving package to 7zip.24.9.0.nupkg...
  Download complete (0 bytes)

a simple list shows the file is actually 0 bytes.
This happens for Mac/Windows/Linux github runners and self hosted runners.
When I run the above on my PC in powershell it downloads fine with a non-zero file size.

Is this to do with permissions, it's able to get the right version? Same thing happens with Assets.
The Api key has download permissions to the feed.

Hi @mmaharjan_0067 ,

I'm afraid we're at a loss here; as you noticed, it works fine on the command line - but there's just something "off" about your runner.

The only thing we can figure is some kind of network block or interference. We don't really have a way to test/debug this any further.

Thanks,
Steve

Hi,

Adding to this ticket rather than starting a new one.

I'm finding that the pgutil assets download command doesn't work when run remotely via SSH. I'm trying to use it in an Ansible role, and it's giving me the same 0 bytes downloaded.

It seems the command works fine if you SSH directly into the server and run it there. For example: ssh username@server-ip 'pgutil assets download --feed=feedname --path=path --output=output' will give you a zero-byte output when run remotely.

For the moment I will switch to using curl for my download.

Thanks

Hi @layfield_8963,

Looks like this was just a simple bug preventing output from being written when stdout has been redirected. It's now fixed in pgutil 2.1.1.

Thanks for the update!
