had the same issue, after some brute force i simply downloaded the plugin zip and checked the filename.
its:
notation-com.amazonaws.signer.notation.plugin
be advised, that the action code adds "notation-" as prefix so the value for plugin name shoudl be
"com.amazonaws.signer.notation.plugin"

Hi @priteshbandi @vaninrao10 ,

Would you mind following up this issue and help resolve it?

[priteshbandi]

If the plugin binary already includes the notation- prefix in its name, there is no need to add an additional notation- prefix. The code needs to be updated.

Ref: https://github.com/notaryproject/notation-action/blob/570add314ee2874c3a8aaac2027548c6f14c0756/src/sign.ts#L37C7-L37C27

ideally, it would be great to simply have all this info in the readme examples. a note there about the prefix and an example with the actual plugin name and references to all relevant naming convention and limitations (for example, cose is not supported for aws plugin)

@saintmalik @dorozuker Can you please test with plugin_name: com.amazonaws.signer.notation.plugin ?
