Currently all my builds fail as follows:
```FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not read PGP secret key
> secret key ring doesn't start with secret key tag```
what am I doing wrong?

I think this would be because of the Dev Publish plugin

do you have `signingKey` and `signingPassword` defined in your `~/.gradle/gradle.properties`?

sorry this was a vague question. they fail when I push to github, like here: <https://github.com/kotest/kotest/actions/runs/10059742561/job/27805797649?pr=3965>

I wonder if it's because your fork is missing the CC key

<https://github.com/kotest/kotest/blob/a4be8bcb3b7d6de1995701100e20b807f8bcce1f/.github/workflows/run-gradle.yml#L54-L53>

can you either try removing `cache-encryption-key: ${{ secrets.GRADLE_CONFIGURATION_CACHE_ENCRYPTION_KEY }}`, or generate a key and define it

key gen details here <https://docs.gradle.org/8.6/userguide/configuration_cache.html#config_cache:secrets:configuring_encryption_key>

hey Alex, did you find out if adding GRADLE_CONFIGURATION_CACHE_ENCRYPTION_KEY helped?

I'm thinking about raising an issue for the Gradle GitHub Action. I think it should warn if the CC key is empty, but not fail the workflow.

Hmmm a PR from a contributor is failing with the same error <https://github.com/kotest/kotest/actions/runs/10080307107/job/27869828584?pr=4211>

yeah I 'm also undergoing this issue right now

<@U01681FLZC2> I did not make it work so far. But I created another branch in kotest itself, squashed my PR into it, and that worked.

Should be fixed by <https://github.com/kotest/kotest/pull/4233>, please let me know if this or anything else doesn't work
