Someone using GIT and Maven?

Hello,

I'm evaluating GIT in a Linux environment (Ubuntu 10.04) and one of our requirements is compliance with Maven 2.0. I tested the maven release plugin (mvn org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0:prepare) but got this error:

... [INFO] Checking in modified POMs... [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git add -- pom.xml moduleA/pom.xml moduleB/pom.xml [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git status [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git commit --verbose -F /tmp/maven-scm-845822206.commit pom.xml moduleA/pom.xml moduleB/pom.xml [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git symbolic-ref HEAD [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] Executing: /bin/sh -c cd /root/git-repos4/project2 && git push http://172.17.27.218/project2 master:master [INFO] Working directory: /root/git-repos4/project2 [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Unable to commit files Provider message: The git-push command failed. Command output: error: Cannot access URL http://172.17.27.218/project2/, return code 22 fatal: git-http-push failed

But if i use the git command push i don't have any problems:

~/git-repos4/project2# git push origin master
Fetching remote heads...

Updating remote server info

   44728f8..8a451fc  master -> master

Could be an authentication problem?
I tried as well the command with username and password (mvn
-Dusername="admin" -Dpassword="admin"
org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0:prepare), but got the same
error.
Then I tried to change the scm connection in the POM file, but got the same
error:
<scm>
   
<connection>scm:git:http://admin:admin@172.17.27.218/project2</connection>
</scm>

I have the file .netrc configured with host, username and password. Does Maven use this file?

Any ideas?

Hi,

I made new tests and the problem just occur in my Linux environment. I used, in my Windows environment, the command "mvn -Dusername=admin -Dpassword=admin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:2.0:prepare" and it worked!

The difference is that in my Linux environment I can just clone the GIT
repository using localhost (git clone http://localhost/project2), if I try
to use the Server IP address I get this error:
Warning: remote HEAD refers to nonexistent ref, unable to checkout.

 I review the Apache HTTP Server settings and I didn't find anything. I'm
able to browse the GIT Repository using Localhost
(http://localhost/project2) or the Server IP address
(http://10.1.1.2/project2).

Any ideas?

regards, Santos

Since you have problems when you invoke Git via Maven but not when you invoke Git directly it would probably be better to ask these questions on a forum for Maven.

You proably aren't going to find people here that know enough maven internals offhand to know where it's screwing up its git invocations.

Hello,

I found the problem, according with
"http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/howto/setup-git-server-over-http.txt"
i should use the .netrc file to authentication. My .netrc file is configured
with localhost, and I configured localhost for the "remote" entry in the
config file (.git) as well.
Now I'm using localhost in the SCM connection too:
<scm>
    <connection>scm:git:http://admin:admin@localhost/project2</connection>
</scm>
