Git plugin uses port configured in Publish over SSH

XMLWordPrintable

      Jenkins uses port configured in Publish over SSH host instead of the default one while pulling/cloning/accessing the repo from the git server (or any other git server presumably).

      When setting port explicitly in the repo url everything works fine (but integration with Github stops working).

          [JENKINS-45484] Git plugin uses port configured in Publish over SSH

          Mark Waite added a comment -

          That likely means that the publish over ssh plugin is setting an environment variable which alters the behavior of command line git, or is setting an environment variable which alters ssh behavior, and the ssh invoked by command line git is affected. The publish over ssh plugin would need to alter how it is setting environment variables to only affect its own ssh invocations.

          You could test that theory by enabling JGIt as an implementation ("Manage Jenkins" -> "Global Tools Configuration" -> "Git" -> "Add Git" -> "jgit"), then modify one of the jobs to see if JGit is affected by the same changes from the publish over ssh plugin.

          Does the problem only occur in jobs where publish over ssh is used, or is it in all git use throughout the entire system once publish over ssh is installed and configured?

          I've checked JGit - no issue in here. So it is probably some global variable modified PoSSH plugin.

          So there are two options - either git plugin cleans up ssh related env before running or PoSSH does it after doing its job.

          Can you provide the config.xml for the job (with important things redacted)?
