[FIXED] Cloning private github repository within organisation in actions

Issue

I have 2 private GitHub repositories (say A and B) in the organization (say ORG). Repository A has repository B in requirements.txt:

-e [email protected]:ORG/B.git#egg=B

And I have the following workflow for A (in .github/workflows/test.yml):

name: Python package

on: push

jobs:
  build:

    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
    - uses: actions/checkout@v1

    - name: Install requirements
      run: |
        pip install -r requirements.txt

    - name: Test with pytest
      run: |
        pytest ./tests

As B is private, it fails on installing it.

Is it possible to install B while testing A in this workflow if they are in the same organization? How?

Solution

I did this way!

- uses: actions/checkout@v1  
  with:
    repository: organization_name/repo_name
    token: ${{ secrets.ACCESS_TOKEN }}

You need to provide a valid token, you can generate it following this guide
