I solved this problem on Windows by adding this as a buildstep before the SCM runs:
git.exe config --global credential.helper wincred it is specifically needed for sub-modules. The local cred store does not handle sub-modules (I think) From: jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com [mailto:jenkinsci-users@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Pratik Dhandharia Sent: Monday, August 24, 2015 3:46 PM To: Jenkins Users Subject: Get Jenkins Working with Private Repo Hi All, I am comparatively new to Jenkins and I am trying to troubleshoot a Jenkins issue where we are trying to fetch a public repository which has multiple private sub-modules. It is due to legal reasons we cannot keep the private sub-modules public. So I have most of the plugin's installed in Jenkins. I have configured Jenkins to store the jenkins user credential using the credential plugin. What I am really trying to do is, fetching the private sub-modules using credentials (username and password). I don't want to switch to using SSH key of the jenkins user for pulling the private sub-modules. And here is the error that I get: > /usr/bin/git submodule sync # timeout=10 > /usr/bin/git config --get remote.origin.url # timeout=10 > /usr/bin/git submodule update --init --recursive FATAL: Command "/usr/bin/git submodule update --init --recursive" returned status code 1: stdout: stderr: fatal: Authentication failed Unable to fetch in submodule path Can someone please help point out if the Jenkins Git Client Plugin, work with fetching private repositories using credentials(username and password)?
