If there is anyone that can help me understand why this git repo isn't cloning that would be amazing.

I runt the same command from the terminal it works. I hoping to find out where I can put the password so the server can authenticate the connection.

Please and thank you.

  • did you run it as hudson from the terminal or as yourself? Commented Aug 18, 2010 at 21:12
  • Hudson cannot establish a ssh connection because your key is protected by a password. Commented Aug 19, 2010 at 11:58

You should setup a ssh trust relationship between your repo and the git server.

You only need to do this once.

In short it goes qs follows :

Log in as the user running hudson

ssh-keygen

use an empty password

This creates 2 files in .ssh : id_dsa and id_dsa.pub.

cat .ssh/id_dsa.pub

Now copy the gibberish representing the public key.

ssh repo-server

Confirm you want to add the host key to known_hosts. Log in using the account accessing the repo.

cat - >>.ssh/authorized_keys

(double check you have 2 >'s or risk the wrath of your colleagues) Then paste the gibberish you just copied.

Log out and verify you can now ssh without having to provide a password.

This works for Unix based hosts. For github, gitosis, windows the process is similar, but of course different.

Hudson should now be able to connect.

Thank you! I had been struggling for awhile not understanding why my SSH key wasn't working, until I read your instructions, specifically the line "Log in as the user running hundson" :-)

Should that url be:

ssh://[email protected]:/usr/local/repository/kdm/git/TestCaseGenerator.git

?

(Missing colon after the ".net")

If you provide which protocol to use "explicitly", ':' is not needed.

If all should be right but it's strangly not working, make sure your project is rally build on the slave you configured.

You have to check the following:

  1. You are using ssh keys of the user who ran hudson daemon. For example, if user=hudson, then you should log on as hudson and generate ssh keys
  2. You have loaded your public key to your server (github, assembla) from correct .ssh/id_rsa.pub file i.e. for the same user who ran hudson daemon
  3. You have added RSA fingerprint of your server to your .ssh/known_hosts file
