How to debug clone issues
(And what to do with an error message like fatal: could not read Username for 'https://<url>': No such device or address)
This error can have multiple causes. If you use internal repositories you might have to enable WOODPECKER_AUTHENTICATE_PUBLIC_REPOS:
WOODPECKER_AUTHENTICATE_PUBLIC_REPOS=true
If that does not work, try to make sure the container can reach your git server. In order to do that disable git checkout and make the container "hang":
skip_clone: true
steps:
build:
image: debian:stable-backports
commands:
- apt update
- apt install -y inetutils-ping wget
- ping -c 4 git.example.com
- wget git.example.com
- sleep 9999999
Get the container id using docker ps and copy the id from the first column. Enter the container with: docker exec -it 1234asdf bash (replace 1234asdf with the docker id). Then try to clone the git repository with the commands from the failing pipeline:
git init
git remote add origin https://git.example.com/username/repo.git
git fetch --no-tags origin +refs/heads/branch:
(replace the url AND the branch with the correct values, use your username and password as log in values)
