Improve UX around bad repository credentials
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Mnkras was trying to import git@github.com:php/php-src.git as a repository, but it was failing with bad credentials.

This should work, and we provide it as an explicit example of a URI which works.

One possible guess is that we like do not preserve git properly when used in this way.

More broadly, the repository did not surface the credential failure in a reasonable/clear way.

See also T7106 (this being a problem outside the cluster) and T7221 (similar issues in this vein with the root cause).

Event Timeline

epriestley raised the priority of this task from to Normal.
epriestley updated the task description. (Show Details)
epriestley added projects: Phacility, Diffusion.
epriestley added subscribers: epriestley, Mnkras.

(I changed this to https:// and it's now importing.)

The Phacility reasoning here is that administrators don't have access to daemon logs and I'd like to avoid giving them access, so there's no way to figure this out on your own except by guessing.

Don't forget about pestering you!

@epriestley, that repo is stuck at 99.99% importing now...
