jenkins failed to connect to remote bit bucket repository

Question

I am using jenkins and trying to connect to the bit bucket remote repository for that I provide the bit bucket URL in source code management in git repositories, I create the credentials also for that bit bucket account added in the credentials

I tried the below in git repositories

https://[email protected]/gsmohan/quickride.git

But it gives the error below specified:

ERROR:Failed to connect to repository : Failed to connect to https://[email protected]/gsmohan/quickride.git using credentials bitbucket account (status = 401)

Can anyone please help to me?

Answer 1

Change repository address to this format:

https://user:[email protected]/user/project_name.git

And of course:

• user - your bitbucket user,
• password- your bitbucket password,
• project_name - name of project/repo,

Answer 2

In Jenkins ver. 2.6 just use

https://[email protected]/user/project_name.git 

And add your credentials.

Important: Make sure that your git installed version is greater or equals than 1.7.4 because of the --local issue.

If you are on CentOS maybe you face the same problem than me. Here is a great answer from @AmirHd to upgrade git version on CentOS, if you already have git installed just type:

yum --disablerepo=base,updates --enablerepo=rpmforge-extras update git

Hope this helps!!!
