Adding SSH key gives error with correct key

So I’ve been trying to add a new SSH key at https://circleci.com/gh/myorganisation/myproject/edit#ssh but I keep getting the error “Error: it looks like private key is invalid key. Double check If we can help, contact us.”

My key is roughly

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEpQIBAAKCAQEAyGoAVjc0bcnrFi/kMIiwwBXlQkvp5cgdLZ5JLZHk2qTDiMcV
(and a whole lot of the other stuff)
mCkZRRqQ39em5VaT+ES6XoEgOdJr6P9tcLub0AQ8Wtt1V9RdkykMUhc=
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

(yes yes I will make a new key and throw that data away :slight_smile: )

So it all initially looks correct to me, I saw another post similar where the guy was forgetting the headers, I’ve added 3 other keys no problems

don’t waste your time, your key might be valid. this has been reported before

ahuh! thanks for the tip! yeah its really stopped our project big time
