Gitextractor not using ssh key for ssh url and instead using github key

[khalibartan]

Hi team i configured a blueprint with git repo ssh url. here is the plugin config

{
      "plugin": "gitextractor",
      "subtasks": null,
      "options": {
        "connectionId": 1,
        "fullName": "<my-org>/carousel",
        "name": "carousel",
        "pluginName": "github",
        "privateKey": "/tmp/temp_ssh_key",
        "proxy": "",
        "repoId": "github:GithubRepo:1:671243190",
        "url": "ssh://git@github.com/<my-org>/carousel.git"
      }
    }

While git cloning the task is failing with following error

subtask Clone Git Repo ended unexpectedly Wraps: (2) git cmd [git clone ssh://git@<my_github_tokens>@github.com/<my-org>/carousel.git /tmp/gitextractor1819265204 --depth=1 --bare] in failed: Cloning into bare repository '/tmp/gitextractor1819265204'... | Warning: Identity file /tmp/gitext-pk2397552950 not accessible: No such file or directory. | git@<my_github_tokens>@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). | fatal: Could not read from remote repository. | | Please make sure you have the correct access rights | and the repository exists. Error types: (1) *hintdetail.withDetail (2) *errors.errorString

Why it is using github tokens when my private ssh key is added to ssh agent already

The issue you're encountering seems to be related to the configuration of the gitextractor plugin, specifically regarding the use of SSH keys for authentication. The error message indicates that the SSH key file is not accessible, which suggests that the plugin might not be correctly configured to use the SSH key.

Here are a few things to check and consider:

1. SSH Key Configuration: Ensure that the privateKey option is included in your plugin configuration. This option should contain the base64 encoded PEM file of your SSH private key. Without this, the plugin might default to using GitHub tokens for authentication.

2. Passphrase: If your SSH key is protected by a passphrase, make sure to include the passphrase option in the configuration. This allows the plugin to handle the decryption of the private key.

3. SSH Key Accessibility: The error message "Identity file not accessible" suggests that the SSH key file might not be correctly set up or accessible. Verify that the SSH key is correctly added to the SSH agent and that the path to the key is correct.

4. Environment Setup: Ensure that the environment where the plugin is running has access to the SSH agent and that the agent is running with the correct keys loaded.

Here's an example of how your configuration might look with the SSH key options:

{
    "plugin": "gitextractor",
    "subtasks": null,
    "options": {
        "connectionId": 1,
        "fullName": "<my-org>/carousel",
        "name": "carousel",
        "pluginName": "github",
        "proxy": "",
        "repoId": "github:GithubRepo:1:671243190",
        "url": "ssh://git@github.com/<my-org>/carousel.git",
        "privateKey": "your_base64_encoded_PEM_file",
        "passphrase": "your_passphrase_if_any"
    }
}

By ensuring these configurations are correctly set, the gitextractor plugin should use the SSH key for authentication instead of GitHub tokens ^[1].

I have already added private key

{
      "plugin": "gitextractor",
      "subtasks": null,
      "options": {
        "connectionId": 1,
        "fullName": "<my-org>/carousel",
        "name": "carousel",
        "pluginName": "github",
        "privateKey": "/tmp/temp_ssh_key",
        "proxy": "",
        "repoId": "github:GithubRepo:1:671243190",
        "url": "ssh://git@github.com/<my-org>/carousel.git"
      }
    }

Please note i have also tried configuration where i have given the base64 encoded key in private key part, that failed as well. With following error

subtask Clone Git Repo ended unexpectedly Wraps: (2) git cmd [git clone ssh://git@<my_github_tokens>@github.com/<my-org>/carousel.git /tmp/gitextractor2486793920 --depth=1 --bare] in failed: Cloning into bare repository '/tmp/gitextractor2486793920'... | Warning: Identity file /tmp/gitext-pk3105934292 not accessible: No such file or directory. | Warning: Permanently added 'github.com' (ED25519) to the list of known hosts. | git@<my_github_tokens>@github.com: Permission denied (publickey). | fatal: Could not read from remote repository. | | Please make sure you have the correct access rights | and the repository exists.
