I am having a rough time trying to get my CI process to pull a branch from another private repository. Permissions are set up with GitHub user keys and through the command
git pull git@github.com:myuser/myproject.git my-branch
I am able to start the pull process… SOMETIMES.
Sometimes this command fails in CircleCI, with a git message about setting my name and email address through git config:
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.30.253.113' to the list of known hosts.
From github.com:myuser/myproject
* branch my-branch -> FETCH_HEAD
*** Please tell me who you are.
Run
git config --global user.email "you@example.com"
git config --global user.name "Your Name"
to set your account's default identity.
Omit --global to set the identity only in this repository.
fatal: unable to auto-detect email address (got 'ubuntu@box128.(none)')
Sometimes this message does not occur. I can find no pattern. If I follow the directions and add the commands, I will always bet past this step… but other issues follow.
Sometimes this command starts but never completes. I get this output in CircleCI:
Warning: Permanently added the RSA host key for IP address '192.30.253.112' to the list of known hosts.
From github.com:myuser/myproject
* branch my-branch -> FETCH_HEAD
command git pull git@github.com:myuser/myproject.git my-branch took more than 10 minutes since last output
After the aforementioned 10 minutes, the build automatically fails.
I get variations of this error whether I use git pull or git fetch into git merge.
Finally, SOMETIMES the whole process actually works. I can find no pattern to any of these occurrences. The git pull is in my circle.yml under checkout-post.
What am I missing?
