ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'
Andrew Henderson 
Tried with the configure option, not able to find the tools configuration option and the git executable section. Seems like it occurs after a successful build only. Please help.
Here's the output I receive after building the project on the console output section:
Building in workspace C:\Users\Anishas\.jenkins\workspace\Sample123 Cloning the remote Git repository Cloning repository > C:\Users\Anishas\git init C:\Users\Anishas\.jenkins\workspace\Sample123 # timeout=10 ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin' hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Could not init C:\Users\Anishas\.jenkins\workspace\Sample123 at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$5.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:656) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$2.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:463) at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.retrieveChanges(GitSCM.java:1057) at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.checkout(GitSCM.java:1097) at hudson.scm.SCM.checkout(SCM.java:485) at hudson.model.AbstractProject.checkout(AbstractProject.java:1269) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.defaultCheckout(AbstractBuild.java:607) at jenkins.scm.SCMCheckoutStrategy.checkout(SCMCheckoutStrategy.java:86) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.run(AbstractBuild.java:529) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1738) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:98) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:410) Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Error performing command: C:\Users\Anishas\git init C:\Users\Anishas\.jenkins\workspace\Sample123 at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1726) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1695) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1691) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommand(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1321) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$5.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:654) ... 12 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\Anishas\git" (in directory "C:\Users\Anishas\.jenkins\workspace\Sample123"): CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(Unknown Source) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.<init>(Proc.java:240) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.<init>(Proc.java:212) at hudson.Launcher$LocalLauncher.launch(Launcher.java:815) at hudson.Launcher$ProcStarter.start(Launcher.java:381) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1715) ... 16 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(Unknown Source) ... 22 more ERROR: null Finished: FAILURE15 Answers
This wasted so much time on my Jenkins Windows slave.
I knew git was in the path because I executed "where git" in the build job's batch command.
where git
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exeApparently the Jenkins Git Plugin executes ** before ** the environment is inherited.
SET YOUR SLAVE's PATH to Git ( Just DO IT !! )
1) Go to your Windows slave configuration Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes
2) Select your slave configuration
3) Check Tool Locations under Node Properties
4) Enter complete path to git executable including git.exe
[x] Tool Locations Name: (GIT) git Home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exeSee screenshot:
Go to Manage Jenkins / Global Tool Configuration and set Path to Git executable:
set the path to git.exe and not only to the directory of the git file in both the locations of tool configurations.
4Sometimes this error occurs when disk space is less. so do check the space of your machine where jenkins is hosted. :)
1- Check for below command in Jenkins Server in linux Env:
`whereis git`you will get the path like /usr/bin/git
Place it in Manage jenkin>Global Tool Configuration> under git path mention /usr/bin/git
Rerun job again
If anyone is using Jenkins with freshly installed Xcode, you'll need to agree to the license using sudo xcodebuild -license or agree through UI.
There can be multiple reasons for that
- Check the Permission of the Folder or the Worker Node, In my case 3rd one was the issue because of not providing permissions to the users and groups. As a result you may need to do
sudo chown -R user:group folderName - Check you have configured the SSH Key, if you are using Private Repo from GitHub.
- Path Must be provided inside Jenkins Global Configuration of Default Git
In my case,
- I have installed git on my slave server. Download-git
- Run cmd command
where git
and update your git path with exe file like below in Jenkins node configuration.
C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe
Go to your Windows slave configuration, Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes > Select your slave > configure
Check "Tool Locations" under "Node Properties" and give the full path what you got from 'where git' command and save.
yes I have faced the same issue on the Linux ec2 instance but I fixed it through
- First of all on your server run the below command, and this command will return to you $ which git this command will return to you the actual path of the git, where your git is installed like that /usr/bin/git copy this path.
- open your Jenkins > go to manage Jenkins >Global tool configuration > paste the in this field "Path to Git executable
Windows: 1. Install git in windows machine 2. The git.exe path is C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe (by default, unless you change during installation) 3.Now need to show the path of git.exe in Jenkins git plugin tool
a)manage Jenkins>Global Tool Configuration>Git
b)Add git : name: anything and Path:C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe 4. Then build for clone. Should be ok
Linux CentOS7: Same error message I got and after installation git in same machine were Jenkins installed, it is solved.
yum install git
Then you need to follow below steps. Hope so this may be useful for you to resolve your problem.
If your master is linux machine and slave is windows machine...
Pre-Requisites:
- your slave machine should have same java version(jdk 1.8).
- Git should be installed on your slave machine.
Steps to follow:
Go to your Windows slave configuration Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes
Select your slave configuration
Check Tool Locations under Node Properties
Enter complete path to git executable including
git.exe
Tool Locations Name: (GIT) git Home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exeSee screenshot:
1) Make sure the git.exe has executable permissions. 2) Make sure git is configured correctly to refer in Global Tool configurations and also on the Jenkins agent (windows in your case) where you running the job, environment variable for git.exe executable is set correctly
have this problem after my company move to 2FA (2 factory authentication) at GitHub
in the Jenkins I get in credential this
to fix it
- I create a personal access token in Github from here
2)after that i get to the same place in the jenkins when the errors ->Credential->add ->jenkins
and get as you see in the picture down username= what you want name password = token that you get
Upgrading all plugins and Jenkins to 2.332.1 solved for me
Don't forget to Add your deploy key credentials (the deploy key attached to the github project) in jenkins ()
