[BUG]: secretOrPrivateKey must be an asymmetric key when using RS256 #465
Description
What happened?
Generated a privatekey using the GitHub Apps interface, which downloaded a .pem file. I loaded this file directly into my auth config:
auth: {
privateKey: require('fs').readFileSync('./my-key.pem').toString(),
appId: 12345,
installationId: 67890
},
I also tried pasting in the key directly. I also removed all whitespace in a separate attempt. All yielded the same error, which seems to me indicates a problem with the keys being generated from GitHub. Would appreciate any assistance with this.
Relevant error is shown in the log output below.
