Git client plugin does not work with new Git for Windows 2.5.0

    • Git client plugin 1.18.0, Jenkins 1.609.1, Git for Windows 2.5.0

      The new Git for Windows places the SSH binary in a usr/bin/ subdirectory instead of the bin/ directory used by prior releases of msysgit. This results in an error:

      FATAL: ssh executable not found. The git plugin only supports official git client http://git-scm.com/download/win
      java.lang.RuntimeException: ssh executable not found. The git plugin only supports official git client http://git-scm.com/download/win

      The 'official' link takes you to a download for this new Git for Windows, so it's not helpful.

      A temporary workaround is to create a link to ssh.exe in the $(INSTALLDIR)\bin directory with mklink, e.g.:

      mklink "c:\program files\git\bin\ssh.exe" "c:\program files\git\usr\bin\ssh.exe"

      Another thing I noticed, not related to the jenkins plugin, is that the new Git for Windows prepends the NetBIOS domain name in a Windows AD environment by default. So existing jobs which don't explicitly set the username will fail, because the default username is now DOMAIN+username.

          If you'd like to try the build which includes the fix, it is available (for now) from the Cloudbees Jenkins server.

          I may be doing something wrong here as I'm very new to Jenkins, but I was still getting this error with 1.19.0 (I did a full reboot of the server after the upgrade to 1.19.0). I had the same error message until I created the symlink for the temporary workaround. After that it worked fine.

          bayertm thanks for the report. Can you provide more information about your environment that might help me better understand what is different between your environment and mine? JENKINS-30032 was likewise reopened by the original reporter, then was closed again when they did a deeper check of their environment.

          Things that might be different:

          • What Windows release (Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, Windows Server 2008, etc.) and version (x86, x64)?
          • 32 bit git or 64 bit git 2.5.0 for Windows?
          • Windows git settings?
          • PATH value used by the Jenkins slave?
          • Does JGit work in your environment? (Jenkins master configuration, add a git implementation, choose JGit from the drop down, save it, then choose JGit from the git implementation menu in the job definition)
          • Are there other providers of Unix-like functionality installed on the Windows machine (like cygwin or msys or ...)?
          • Are there any other things which might be unique about your configuration?

          markewaite Here is some more information about my configuration.

          • Windows 10 x64
          • Git 2.5.0 64bit for windows
          • PATH %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd;C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin;C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin;C:\Program Files\7-Zip;C:\Program Files\Git\bin
          • I removed the symlink and changed the executable to jgit and it appears to have worked correctly. As soon as I switched it back to default git it failed with the same error message again (without the symlink). Am I right in understanding jgit is not quite ready for production use yet?
          • There are no other unix-like providers.
          • I can't think of anything unique about my config besides the fact that it's windows 10. It's a pretty vanilla Jenkins install and setup.

          Hope that helps.

          JGit is ready for production use in those use cases where it is implemented. The JGit implementation inside Jenkins has improved significantly since the initial JGit insertion of several years ago.

          There are several use cases which the JGit implementation does not support (submodules, reference repositories, and a few other options available from the menus). Usually it states directly that the particular option is not supported by JGit.

          bayertm I installed a fresh copy of windows 10 x64 and git 2.5.0 on a computer and was unable to duplicate what you reported.

          My PATH settings did not include C:\Program Files\Git\mingw64\bin as far as I can tell. Was that a change you added intentionally? Did you get that by choosing to allow full access to all the git commands when you installed git for Windows 2.5.0? That is the option which includes the red text warning that it will change the behavior of find and sort. I didn't choose that option when I installed on my Windows 10 machine.

          I installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 x86 and git 2.5.0 on a computer using different defaults than the Windows 10 machine. I wasn't able to duplicate the problem on the Windows 7 machine either.

          Any hints what might other things might be different between your environment and the test environments I've configured?

          I'm having the same issue of ssh not found.

          • Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit
          • git-win 2.5.3 64 bit
          • Jenkins 1.633
          • GIT client plugin 1.19.0
          • GIT plugin 2.4.0
          • PATH: C:\Perl64\site\bin;C:\Perl64\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\doxygen\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Windows Performance Toolkit\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\TypeScript\1.0\;C:\Program Files\Git\cmd

          Git is installed in C:\Program Files\Git
          git.exe is in both in the bin and cmd subfolders.
          ssh.exe is in the usr/bin subfolder.

          In Jenkins / Configure System, a global env. variable GIT_SSH is defined as "C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ssh.exe" (with quotes), but there is no such system-wide (i.e. Windows) environment variable.

          The error message is

          javax.servlet.ServletException: java.lang.RuntimeException: ssh executable not found. The git plugin only supports official git client http://git-scm.com/download/win

          PS: Using the workaround with a symlink suggested by wsaxon worked. Thanks!

          Reopening since there are now two users who report the same failure.

          I am also seeing this issue with the latest version of Git for window 2.7.0, on git-client version 1.19.0

          I set /usr/bin/ssh.exe to %GIT_SSH% to workaround the issue.

          I would love to have steps which will allow me to duplicate the scenario. Can you provide the installation location of your git for windows, your environment variables, and anything else that you think might make your case fail when I (and many other users) don't see the same failure?

          Sorry markewaite, haven't had time to follow on this.
          With a clean install of win_2012 server, I manually installed git into a non-default location.
          It added the location of git to the path, set %GIT_HOME% and was seeing the issue.
          I resolved the issue by setting %GIT_SSH%
