GitHub user dosubot[bot] added a comment to the discussion: Gitextractor not
using ssh key for ssh url and instead using github key
<!-- Answer -->
The issue you're encountering seems to be related to the configuration of the
`gitextractor` plugin, specifically regarding the use of SSH keys for
authentication. The error message indicates that the SSH key file is not
accessible, which suggests that the plugin might not be correctly configured to
use the SSH key.
Here are a few things to check and consider:
1. **SSH Key Configuration**: Ensure that the `privateKey` option is included
in your plugin configuration. This option should contain the base64 encoded PEM
file of your SSH private key. Without this, the plugin might default to using
GitHub tokens for authentication.
2. **Passphrase**: If your SSH key is protected by a passphrase, make sure to
include the `passphrase` option in the configuration. This allows the plugin to
handle the decryption of the private key.
3. **SSH Key Accessibility**: The error message "Identity file not accessible"
suggests that the SSH key file might not be correctly set up or accessible.
Verify that the SSH key is correctly added to the SSH agent and that the path
to the key is correct.
4. **Environment Setup**: Ensure that the environment where the plugin is
running has access to the SSH agent and that the agent is running with the
correct keys loaded.
Here's an example of how your configuration might look with the SSH key options:
```json
{
"plugin": "gitextractor",
"subtasks": null,
"options": {
"connectionId": 1,
"fullName": "<my-org>/carousel",
"name": "carousel",
"pluginName": "github",
"proxy": "",
"repoId": "github:GithubRepo:1:671243190",
"url": "ssh://g...@github.com/<my-org>/carousel.git",
"privateKey": "your_base64_encoded_PEM_file",
"passphrase": "your_passphrase_if_any"
}
}
```
By ensuring these configurations are correctly set, the `gitextractor` plugin
should use the SSH key for authentication instead of GitHub tokens
