Folks, We have an Enterprise github installation, and up until six days ago I was at least able to get Jenkins to do a git clone, use the SCM+Sync+configuration+plugin to upload changed configuration files to the designated repo, etc....
But six days ago, something broke. Now, no matter what I do, any time Jenkins tries to interact with git, I get a "status code 128: Permission denied (publickey)." error. I've tried to debug this every way I can. I've checked the issue navigator at <https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/secure/IssueNavigator.jspa?mode=hide&reset=true&jqlQuery=project+%3D+JENKINS+AND+status+in+(Open%2C+%22In+Progress%22%2C+Reopened)+AND+component+%3D+%27git%27>, I've reverted from 1.1.23 to 1.1.22 of the git plugin, added loggers based on the example at <https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/ScmSyncConfig+Troubleshootings>, and so far nothing I've done can add any more information to this error. I've deleted the ssh keys on our github server, and got the exact same error. I generated a new ssh key as the Jenkins user on the Jenkins server then uploaded it to the github account, same error. I changed the password that Jenkins was supposed to be using for the ssh key to something I know to be incorrect, same error. It seems that no matter what I do with ssh keys whether I am extra careful to make sure that I've done everything correct or if I intentionally do something "wrong", I still get the same error. I'm stumped, and I can't figure out how to get Jenkins to return logging information that is actually useful and related to the actual problem I'm having. Yes I did confirm that I could still clone the repos manually with the old key, and I have likewise confirmed that I can clone the repos with the new key. So, the key itself works and lets me get into github, the problem seems to be that Jenkins is not properly handling git+ssh in this case, and it's not returning useful debugging information when I try to figure out what is really going wrong. If you can point me at any other pages or recommended procedures that I should try, please let me know. Thanks! -- Brad Knowles <b...@shub-internet.org> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu>
