Document how to upload documents to GCS with json credentials. about goreleaser HOT 4 CLOSED

as far as I know, that should work 🤔

basically, when opening a gs:// bucket, gocloud does gcp.DefaultCredentials(), which will try to read that file... I can see if I can repro this later, but my guess would be that while creating the SA file in github actions it is somehow getting corrupted? Maybe when you set the secret on github actions you added an extra char or something... I would probably start with that...

closing for lack of response and probably user error.. please comment/reopen if that's not the case!

It ended up being a missing toplevel environment key in the workflow. In other words, the secret was in a a Github environment and the workflow was not. Fundamentally, it was a user error; however it was incredibly difficult to figure out what was going on, so I think there's an opportunity for better documentation at the very least.

I think the docs should illustrate the use of google-github-actions/auth, first, along with an alternative example example demonstrating how to get a secret into a file where Goreleaser can find it. Right now, the goreleaser docs on GCS don't give you anything beyond the name of the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS variable. Since this particular env var is a little different (a path, not a value), I think some better examples would go a long way to improving user experience.

Got it! Yeah, I can see that.

Do you wanna PR something? Even if it's raw, I can add some touches later...
