Error cloning remote repo 'origin' in jenkins windows slave

Question

The question is asked already. I have seen there answers but none of them is working for me. I have changed the global configuration settings and set the git path of the slave machine. Plus I added git path in the node settings under node properties -> tool location there I added my git path too.

my git path is C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe but the problem is still there.

Previously it was working fine but it happened suddenly.

NOTE THAT on my other windows slave it's working fine. So I don't think its any SSH key related issue.

Answer 1

The following solution worked for me, the data in the repository might got increased so it is taking more time to fetch, by default in jenkins we have time out 10 minutes, so go to your job configuration page -----> under source code management---> click on Additional behaviour,in that select -----> Advanced clone behaviour, by default "fetch tag will be selected" you just need to provide 60 in "Timeout (in minutes) for clone and fetch operations", 60 is not fixed , it depends on your code, so first try this on a dummy job and see, then implement in yours.
