You need to SSH to the node and become whatever the Jenkins user running the build on the node. You can try git clone the repo as that user and accept host key or you can add this to the $HOME/.ssh/config ($HOME refers to the home directory of the Jenkins user): Host codebasehq.com StrictHostKeyChecking no Hostname codebasehq.com User <user-name-optional-to-use-other-user-credential-to-clone> IdentityFile <optional-specify-path-to-the-ssh-private-key-file-of-the-user-name> From: <jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com>> on behalf of Neil Stoker <neil.stoker....@gmail.com<mailto:neil.stoker....@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com>" <jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com>> Date: Tuesday, November 1, 2016 at 8:51 AM To: Jenkins Users <jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com<mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com>> Subject: ERROR fetching remote repo 'origin' from codebasehq Hi, I am going round in circles trying to track down what is causing Jenkins giving the following error: Startedby user neils Building remotely on Project_BA(project)in workspace c:\BuildAgent\workspace\Project_BA QA Test1 > git rev-parse --is-inside-work-tree # timeout=10 Fetching changes from the remote Git repository > git config remote.origin.url g...@codebasehq.com:company/project/repo.git # > timeout=10 Fetching upstream changes from g...@codebasehq.com:company/project/repo.git > git --version # timeout=10 using GIT_ASKPASS to set credentials > git fetch --tags --progress g...@codebasehq.com:company/project/repo.git > +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* ERROR: Error fetching remote repo 'origin' hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Failed to fetch from g...@codebasehq.com<mailto:g...@codebasehq.com>:company/project/repo.git at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.fetchFrom(GitSCM.java:797) at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.retrieveChanges(GitSCM.java:1051) at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.checkout(GitSCM.java:1082) at hudson.scm.SCM.checkout(SCM.java:495) at hudson.model.AbstractProject.checkout(AbstractProject.java:1278) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.defaultCheckout(AbstractBuild.java:604) at jenkins.scm.SCMCheckoutStrategy.checkout(SCMCheckoutStrategy.java:86) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.run(AbstractBuild.java:529) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1720) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:98) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:401) Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git fetch --tags --progress g...@codebasehq.com<mailto:g...@codebasehq.com>:company/project/repo.git +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*" returned status code 128: stdout: stderr: Host key verification failed. fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
