Git plugin unable to acces local repository

[Henk van Voorthuijsen]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting access to a local git repository:

System: CentOS 7

I'm running Jenkins as a service using system

When I try to set up a job with Git, the URL field shows the following error:

Failed to connect to repository : Command "git -c core.askpass=true ls-remote -h git@localhost:repositories/puq HEAD" returned status code 128: stdout:  stderr: Permission denied, please try again.  Permission denied, please try again.  Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).  fatal: Could not read from remote repository. Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

In order to test what is happening, I run the following script:

whoami

echo $USER

cd /tmp

rm -rf test

mkdir test

cd test

git clone git@localhost:repositories/puq

 Which gives the following output:

+ whoami

jenkins

+ echo jenkins

jenkins

+ cd /tmp

+ rm -rf test

+ mkdir test

+ cd test

+ git clone git@localhost:repositories/puq

Cloning into 'puq'...

Permission denied, please try again.

Permission denied, please try again.

Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-keyex,gssapi-with-mic,password).

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights

and the repository exists.

So, basically the same error.

When I run the same clone command from the command line (logged in as jenkins), however, the clone succeeds...

I have the feeling I'm missing something obvious - can anyone tell me what's going on?

Did you define a credential and reference that credential when you defined the git settings in the job definition?  The run time environment may be different between your logging in as the jenkins user with an interactive shell and your running jenkins as a CentOS 7 service.

I did - there is a credential for user "git" in the global credentials.

But I noticed that $PWD is set to "/" - which is probably not what I want... I'll investigate further..

[Henk van Voorthuijsen]

OK, I set the service's WorkingDirectory to $JENKINS_HOME -  unfortunately that doesn't help - I'm still getting the same error

Did you set the credentials to be used the scm section? You need to both define the credentials _and_ use the credentials.

[Henk van Voorthuijsen]

I added credentials using the "Add" button ; they showed up in the selection box; I selected them. I would think that is enough. Is it?

[milki milk]

Yes, that should be it. Defined credentials and using that credential in the selection box for your scm. Are you sure the credentials work? I see you are also using localhost. The scm polling job doesn't havee a node restriction, but the job that does the checkout is done locally on the node it runs on. In general, you'll want the server to be accessible from all nodes.
