not able to connect to the GIT Repository through Git plugin in Jenkins

Question

I am trying to pull the code form GIT using GIT Plugin Jenkins and the job is running on a slave machine. http_proxy=mycom.domain.com:80 is assigned to master node.

There is no http_proxy defined for slave node.I  have done git clone locally on the slave node and it worked fine but I am unable to clone git through Jenkins.

It's displaying following error:

Building remotely on SLAVE in workspace /data/test

Can anyone solve this query?

Thanks

Answer 1

Turned out it was a proxy issue.

While pulling the code from GIT using Jenkins it was setting the http_proxy to mycom.domain.com:80  and this proxy was not required in the slave node.

So, I have added GIT URL to No Proxy Host section in Jenkins and now it is working fine.

Hope it will help you resolve your query.

Answer 2

Before pulling the project, try to set the HTTP proxy in global configuration:

$> git config --global http.proxy http://mycom.example.com:80

If you need to provide a username and a password for your proxy, you can use:

$> git config --global http.proxy http://example.com\\<yourUsername>:<yourPassword>@<yourProxyServer>:80

Answer 3

One of the possibility is that your Jenkins is not connected to git. To connect them follow these steps:

• Create a new maven job
• Check the radio button for git. Enter the uri of your git repository
• Click on save and apply

I have done the exact same thing but I ended up with the following error:

Failed to connect to repository : Command "git ls-remote -h git@example.git HEAD" returned status code 128: stdout: stderr: fatal: 'git@example.git' does not appear to be a git repository fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

What do I do?

You might haven't configured your Jenkins right, use the following steps:

1. Go to to the terminal

2.Run this command : sudo visudo

3. Add %jenkins ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL in this file where sudo privilege is defined.and close the file.

4.login as Jenkins user via command : sudo su jenkins

5. Create a .ssh directory in the jenkins home directory.
