Error: error:1E08010C:DECODER routines::unsupported when calling the api

I received the following error:

  const ret = this[kHandle].sign(data, format, type, passphrase, rsaPadding,
                            ^

}

Node.js v17.2.0

const { createAppAuth } = require("@octokit/auth-app");
const { Octokit } = require("@octokit/rest");

const installationOctokit = new Octokit({
  authStrategy: createAppAuth,
  auth: {
    appId: process.env.APP_ID,
    privateKey: process.env.APP_PRIVATE_KEY,
    installationId: process.env.INSTALLATION_ID,
  },
});
let out = await installationOctokit.repos.listForOrg({
  org: "chocrates-test-org",
});
console.log(out);

Using node17.

I downgraded to node16 and moved the Pkey to a file and it started working.

Hit the same error in a next.js demo app too.

I tried to follow the demo README but for any NOOB certain steps require knowledge to be done correctly that a NOOB simply wont have.

What steps are you referring to? There isn’t anything a noob can’t do to create a GitHub app, and use this module to authenticate to the GitHub API

Therefore errors are to be expected and only meaningful error messages help to get over these hurdles. This fact applies to later application support too!

This isn’t an error message that we throw, it is from NodeJS. There isn’t anything we can do for that. We always try to have meaningful error messages throughout the Octokit modules.

Please see https://github.com/vercel/next.js/discussions/38385#discussioncomment-3120467 for details

I really dislike the attitude you are portraying in your comment. There is no need to have a bad attitude when reporting an issue here.

I hit a different bug when trying to reproduce this one https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssl/+bug/1979639

No problem! I searched the same thing as you pretty much - I just saw the result and figured it would be the answer 😊 I’m going to close this issue - do feel free to reopen or create a new one if you run into other problems!
