Why is Teamcity not able to pull down git submodule

Question

I have a git project that has a submodule. This submodule is used in two repositories that are both being built on a Teamcity server. Teamcity is able to build the first project but the the second project has the following error (details have been qouted out to protect the guilty)

I have tried to rebuild it with a clean directory and verified that the git repository is fine. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? Side note: the repositories are on github if that helps anyone.

Answer 1

I've just had this same problem - in my case, we had TeamCity configured to use HTTPS and username/password auth when checking out Github repositories, but the .gitmodules file contained the SSH URL ([email protected]:MyCompany/Submodule.git) of the submodule repository.

I fixed it by editing .gitmodules and changing the URL to https://github.com/MyCompany/Submodule.git.

Answer 2

Try adding .git to your submodule link: https://[email protected]/rcrenterprises/RCR.Simulation.git instead of https://[email protected]/rcrenterprises/RCR.Simulation.
