How to clone a BitBucket repository with Jenkins

Question

I am using RedHat Linux

1. I have created a repository in BitBucket say Demo and I have some HTML code into that.
2. I have installed Jenkins on my system.

What I am trying to do is clone the BitBucket repository with Jenkins so that I will be able to build the project.

Steps what I am following is

1. Creating a new Job In Jenkins.
2. Giving a description of the project
3. In the Source Code Management tab selecting git and Jenkins ask for repository URL, and I am giving this URL.

but Jenkins throwing an error saying:

Failed to connect to repository : Error performing command: git ls-remote -h git clone https://[email protected]/UserName/java-script.git HEAD

I spent around 3 days and could not configure this instead learned a lot about Jenkins. I have also tried the BitBucket plug-in for Jenkins that also was not working.

Answer 1

For Jenkins 1.5 or greater( till 1.6)

The error you are getting because in the global configuration of Jenkins, the git path is not correct/or not inserted.

That's why Jenkins is unable to run the git command.

Please go to Manage Jenkins-> Configure System Settings. Check for git section and add correct path.

Its already seems that you have removed the Git Clone from the URL provided by Bitbucket.

Update:

For Jenkins 2.0 or above

You can find this setting under Global tool configuration.
