Github App authentication error

[cizara]

Hi, I successfully used this provider to import all our Github organization with a personal token, but now we need to move it to a Github App so we can automate the process. So far, I created a new app with the following permissions:

• Repository permissions - Administration R/W
• Organization permissions - Administration R/W
• Organization permissions - Members R/W

Then installed the app to the Organization, grant access to all repositories, generated a private key and set the empty app_auth {} block in the provider.

To test it, I've exported the GITHUB_APP_* environment variables as described here and running it locally, but I'm facing the following error:

$ terraform plan

Planning failed. Terraform encountered an error while generating this plan.

╷
│ Error: no decodeable PEM data found
│ 
│   with provider["registry.terraform.io/integrations/github"],
│   on providers.tf line 15, in provider "github":
│   15: provider "github" {
│ 
╵

The GITHUB_APP_PEM_FILE environment variable points to the recently downloaded private key. Did I miss something here?

Ok, my bad. So I have to pass the content of the file instead of the path to the file. Using terraform file function solves it for me pem_file = file(var.pem_file_path)
