Get CA key error: permission denied about certstrap HOT 7 CLOSED

I think the issue has to do with the version of go you are using to build.
I tried to build project with go version 1.16.7, then
I tried the precompiled binary and was able to resolve this.
https://github.com/square/certstrap/releases/tag/v1.2.0

from certstrap.

Did this on a VPS running debian and it worked.
I don't know if this is a reason to close this issue as it isn't really fixed.

Same error happening to me on Debian 11 but i am using binary from release page.

EDIT: same error when building with master branch

I can't repro on Mac OS master branch. What are the permissions for the key and CSR files?

I also built the project with go version 1.16.7, and used
https://github.com/square/certstrap/releases/tag/v1.2.0 and was able to sign.

I was also able to built the project with go version 1.18.1 (latest version), and used
https://github.com/square/certstrap/releases/tag/v1.2.0 and was able to sign.

Hi kacpekwasny. Thanks again for for flagging this. The issue should be fixed in #155 - can you try cloning the latest version of certstrap in windows and running the steps again?
