Mac Jenkins Can't Clone/fetch from GitHub

[Hung]

HI, I am new to setting up Jenkins. I am trying to setup a Jenkins server
on a Mac Mini. I am having trouble with the Jenkins setup because I made a
simple project that is to sync to a github repo and then run a script.
Unfortunately I can't get this simple project to run correctly. I keep
getting a timeout error. Here is a Console output.

I su jenkins and did a manual git fetch and there was no issue. Do anyone
know where I am going wrong. I did a normal installation of jenkins and
selected plugin related to github.

I am running Jenkins ver. 2.7.4

Thank you for any help, and I stuck at this point.

That looks like the problem may be that you didn't assign credentials to the job or that you assigned ssh credentials to a repository that uses https, and you're trying to clone a private repository.

However, you may want to try a series of small experiments to see which area has the problem.  Some of the experiments you might try include:

- Create a Jenkins job which clones a publicly accessible sample project over https (like https://github.com/skeeto/sample-java-project.git ), confirm it works

- Create a Jenkins job which clones your private repo over ssh (like g...@github.com:yourname/yourrepo.git) using ssh private key credentials added using the "Add" button

- Add a username / password credential to the job trying to clone your repository (the output hints you may have tried using a public key, but public keys only work with ssh access, not with https access)

Hi Mark,

Thank for for your reply and help. I tried the public repo and I was able
to download just find. So it does look like it is the credentials. My
environment block ssh incoming and out going so I can't use ssh as a way to
access the private repo.

I am currently using username and password in the configuration. That seems
to not be working here. Any clues? Is there a pluggin I am not using
correctly? I have a Centos machine that was previously setup on a Jenkin
that works have these differences.

I am seeing this in the console output, "using GIT_ASKPASS to set
credentials", while the Centos one we have this, "using .gitcredentials to
set credentials"

I was searching the net and saw documentation on GIT_ASKPASS require input
from users, could it be timing out because it is not passing the data to the
GIT_ASKPASS?

How can I setup my Jenkins to use .gitcredentials instead of GIT_ASKPASS?

Thanks again for any help.

[Mark Waite]

The git plugin switched from using .gitcredentials to using GIT_ASKPASS with the git plugin 3.0 release (and the git client plugin 2.0 release).  That change was needed so that we could support authenticated submodules.

If you're willing to explore, you could download the older plugin versions (git plugin 2.6.0 and git client plugin 1.21.0) and use the advanced tab in the plugin manager to install them.

The timeout in the plugin might be because command line git is waiting for ssh to satisfy the prompt.  However, since you're using https, it should not be invoking the ssh authentication.  Are you absolutely certain that you created a username and password credential rather than an ssh private key based credential?

Thanks, I will try to see if I can this to work a little more before trying
to install older version of git. I didn't any setting for me to choose
https or ssh. I just added the credentials in the SCM location when i added
my repo. I chose username and password and provided both. Here is image of
the credential in the Jenkins Credential Tab.

<http://jenkins-ci.361315.n4.nabble.com/file/n4842697/Screen_Shot_2016-09-16_at_8.png>

If there is a location in the Jenkins to say use https or ssh, please let me
know.

I have the first, username and password. I didn't do an id or description,
is that bad?
I will try to add another one to see if maybe I type something wrong.

I though everything was good because when I had wrong data I get a big red
warning that it couldn't authenticate.

This is unfortunate as I was hoping I did something wrong. I guess I have
to try and install older version.

No, there is no requirement for an id or a description.  If you're using a username and password, then (as far as I can tell) you should be ok.

Is the version of command line git running on your MacOS machine at least 1.7.10?

So I installed the older pluggin you link, and I am still having the same

Anyone gotten Jenkins to work with Mac and Git before? If so can you let me
know the step you did to get it working?

Here was my step,

Download Jenkins, run the install.

Install the plugin from Manage Plugin
Make a project, add credentials.
Run project.

Are there step I am missing? Thanks

[Hung]

Well,

I have an update. I am not sure this is as intended but here is what I had
to do to get Jenkins working on my machine.

I had to make the jenkins user a login able user. When I su jenkins to see
what was happening with git, I notice we kept getting an error in the
keychain saying it had no keychain to store, so we finally found a way to
turn jenkins into a log able account.

I would love to tell you how I did it, but I kind of fumble around and I
finally saw that I could switch user to jenkins and I did. Once I did that
the Mac made a keychain for jenkins and then I was able to pass the git
portion.

When I get time to try and do it again on another Mac, I will try to record
all the stuff we tried to turn jenkins into a log able account. If someone
already knows how would be great for someone to post that info here.

[Shuguo Yang]

Hey, this is because Jenkins is running as the user jenkins, which is not the current user on your mac.

The default path is "/User/Share/Jenkins", install it under "$HOME/.jenkins" to make it work.
So:


1. Stop the current Jenkin on your mac.
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

The, double check you can't access "localhost:8080" 

2.  Double click the "jenkins.war" file under "Application/jenkins". You will found jenkins

was reinstalled to "$HOME/.jenkins" again. 

3. Then re-config the job, git should works well

I also encounter this issue, and above steps works well for me.

Hello, 

Thanks for your help, I have the same problem and it's ok now. 

but, I have a new problem Cannot run program "mvn" (in directory "/Users/xxx/.jenkins/jobs/myproject/workspace

Do someone has any idea? 

Thanks.

[Mark Waite]

From the "Global Tool Configuration" page of "Manage Jenkins", configure a Maven installer that downloads the maven version you need from the apache distribution locations.  Jenkins will then install that tool for you automatically when you define the job to require that version of maven.

I have this configured this way as well, but it still hangs on:

SSH'ing into Jenkins and running git clone with the same key in ~/.ssh works just fine

I'm not sure what you mean by "I have this configured this way as well", so I'll make a guess.

If that means you have configured a username and password credential (as shown in the image), and then are trying to clone with the command you listed, it can't work.

The "git@hostname:path" syntax is a git shorthand for ssh based authentication.  It requires a private key credential rather than a username / password pair.

The private key you're currently using is probably stored in ~/.ssh/id_rsa.  That's the private key to use as the credential for that repository.

If my guess of your meaning is incorrect, please provide more details of what you mean when you say "I have this configured this way as well".

This helped with my problem. But after macOS reboot (OS update was installed) Jenkins roll backed to previous version. And also now I have different problem with Ant but I'm not sure that it's related to this issue.

[Mitch Stoner]

Denis, I had the same problem so I needed to do this and now it is working fine:

1. Stop the current Jenkins on your mac.

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

2. Copy org.jenkins-ci.plist file:

sudo cp /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist ~/Desktop

sudo chown "youruser" ~/Desktop/org.jenkins-ci.plist

sudo open ~/Desktop/org.jenkins-ci.plist

3. Replace /Users/Shared/Jenkins/Home by /Users/"YourUser"/.jenkins

sudo cp ~/Desktop/org.jenkins-ci.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/

sudo chown root /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

5. Start Jenkins

sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.jenkins-ci.plist

Hope it helps.
