BM - Help needed for Git checkout

philippe.camelio_3885

Hi,

I have some problem to make git-checkout running properly

I created one application linked to gitlab repository.
This part is working fine

I created a pipelinestage and I ran this script :

set $DestFolder = /opt/${ApplicationName};
Ensure-Directory $DestFolder;
{
    Git::Checkout-Code
    (
        To: $DestFolder,
    );
}

As I understand, the Git::Checkout-code will grab the code from $Repository, but it can't reach the gitlab server

.

I have done a second application, where I am using Git::Checkout-Code but I had all the expected variables manually and it is working fine.
I thought if the application is linked to the git repo, it is transparent and I don't need to add the infor i n the checkout function.

Something is missing but I don't know what exactly, any advice, example is welcome

Thanks
Philippe

Hi @philippe-camelio_3885 ,

Hmmm, good question; 8min: 20seconds is quite a long time. So I guess, there's a timeout going on? Maybe it's a prompt for input that's happening? I dunno why that would be the case.

There's a lot of logs missing, so we can't really see where it's failing. Does it work if you're checking out to a Windows server (maybe localhost?)

I thought if the application is linked to the git repo, it is transparent and I don't need to add the infor i n the checkout function.

The build is associated with a Commit/Branch/Repository. The operation will effectively default as follows:

    Git::Checkout-Code
    (
        From: $Repository,
        BranchOrCommit: $Commit
    );

$Repository will just be the name of your connection, and before running on the remote server, the url/username/password will be extracted from the connection.

Thanks,

In fact, it never ends. - more than one hour running

And I made a test on localhost build it is a docker setup
so I have the same result

I will make some tests

I ran on localhost (ia the buildmaster server) and the chekout is working fine.

Same script on target server => not working

I will capture and make an artifact to overcome the problem

Do you thin this is a bug or is it something I misused ?

Best regards

Thanks for clarifying! So it sounds like the issue is, the Git::Checkout-Code operation is freezing on a remote server (connected via SSH).

I don't think there's anything you're doing wrong, but there's clearly something going on. It's hard to guess what; typically an input prompt is about the only thing that will cause a freeze like that -- but I don't know how that can happen with that operation.

From here, i would check out the sshd logs, and see what's going on between the servers. You should see the last ssh command ran, and maybe that will give some kind of clue as to a problem

from sshd log, the bm server make a connection, create the tmp folder and nothing else happen since I cancel the job

Hmm that's really peculiar; we haven't seen an issue like this, so I'm not sure how to troubleshoot.

I don't think this is operation-specific, so I wonder if you could try some other tests on this server. Perhaps do something simple, like shexec echo hello world; ? And perhaps see if it's an issue on other servers?

Thanks,
Alana

shexec echo hello world;

I have no issue to run a shexec. This is just the git-checkout.
The server is also configured thru Otter without any problems ...

I am using artifact captured from localhost so it is OK for me

I will make other tests later
