"go get" fails with private bitbucket repository

[Erik Aigner]

I'm trying to get the private bitbucket import

    go get bitbucket.org/<user>/<repo>/<package>

to work, but it always seems to fail with

    https://api.bitbucket.org/1.0/repositories/<user>/<repo>: 403 FORBIDDEN

Since bitbucket allows different VCS types, the go get command seems trying to figure out

what repository type it is via the bitbucket api and fails. The strange thing is, that even when

the .git suffix is added to the import path to hint the repository type, it still makes a call to that API.

What can I do to solve this problem? (except moving code over to GitHub)

If it's a private repo, perhaps it's not available to the whole world? Do non-private repos work?

This is kind of a design error in the go tool. The bitbucket.org
syntax is a special case, really assumed to be public, and we explicit
ignore the .git suffix to avoid having the same package importable
under two different paths. Because there's no authentication in the
https request, bitbucket is rejecting the query about a private repo.
But we need to know the VCS type to do the initial checkout.

A workaround is to do the initial checkout yourself:

mkdir -p $GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org/user/repo
git clone git://bitbucket.org/user/repo $GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org/user/repo

and then 'go get' will work. Sorry I don't have a better answer.

Thanks!

I followed the steps, but looks like `go get` doesn't does the `git pull` activity... after I cloning the repository initially. Am I doing something wrong.

Go get will happily leave the existing checkout there. If you want to update it (git pull), invoke go get with -u.

I used 

git clone git://bitbucket.org/user/repo $GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org/user/repo 

but i got 

fatal: unable to connect to bitbucket.org:

bitbucket.org[0: 131.103.20.167]: errno=Connection refused

bitbucket.org[1: 131.103.20.168]: errno=Connection refused

then I changed it to

git clone git@bitbucket.org:user/repo $GOPATH/src/bitbucket.org/user/repo 

everything work find
