[JIRA] (JENKINS-14506) SCM Sync Configuration mess with Git authentication

[jcarsi...@java.net (JIRA)]

Julien Carsique created JENKINS-14506 SCM Sync Configuration mess with Git authentication Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Bertrand Paquet Components: scm-sync-configuration Created: 19/Jul/12 4:06 PM Description: Using GitHub, I hardly managed credential issues: I tried to configure the repository with various URLs/protocols which all work fine inside jobs but not for that plugin, always raising the issue below The server fails at committing because of hudson.plugins.scm_sync_configuration.ScmSyncConfigurationBusiness synchronizeFile INFO: Synchronizing file [jobs/nuxeo/config.xml] to SCM ... hudson.plugins.scm_sync_configuration.SCMManipulator checkinFiles SEVERE: [checkinFiles] Problem during commit of [[jobs/nuxeo/config.xml]] : *** Please tell me who you are. Run git config --global user.email "y...@example.com" git config --global user.name "Your Name" to set your account's default identity. Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository. fatal: empty ident <hud...@someslave.in.nuxeo.com> not allowed setting global config doesn't solve the issue of course, those settings are already configured in the Git section finally, defining those values as local settings worked The main issues are: the error message is wrong, since the fix requires the repository to exist and that repository is created/deleted by the plugin, it cannot be properly configured without raising the issue before (which is an issue when working with a lot of jobs), when the URLs fails at login (not for commit but for pull/push), the Jenkins server becomes unresponsive (I had to manually kill the git processes). I don't know exactly what comes from the Git&GitHub plugins or JGit but it seems the scm_sync plugin is not using all available information, especially the user.email and user.name. There should be a "test" button in the configuration to avoid starting initialization with repetitive failures. Project: Jenkins Priority: Major Reporter: Julien Carsique
