Description
See https://github.com/openedx/codejail/pull/138, which I opened from my personal fork of codejail.
When trying to run tests, GHA shows:
Error: Credentials could not be loaded, please check your action inputs: Could not load credentials from any providers
This is probably because my fork doesn't have access to secrets from the openedx organization.
This is not an issue from 2U or for most of tCRIL, but is an issue for anyone trying to contribute from an external organization.
