Hi Bertrand Renuart, I'm also looking for the easiest way to pull dependencies in private repositories... For now how do you manage using credentials with Git inside a pipeline? Do you use withCredentials(...) function?

Thank you.

Yes, we implemented our own withGit step in our shared library - see attached file. Feel free to use it/comment if you like

Bertrand Renuart thank you very much! It seems a more appropriate way than trying to inject a SSH key with sshagent(...).

There is still one question about reusing the credentials: imagine the user "Thomas" creates a pipeline within Jenkins with his GitHub credentials to access the repository, to build my project I need to pull X dependencies with some from private repositories. If the user "Thomas" doesn't have access to all these private repositories it will fail... That's the same if "Thomas" leaves the company, we should delete all his pipelines and recreate them, no? The workaround I think about is either to use SSH key able to access all private repositories (that's why I was trying to use sshagent(...) ), or to create a dedicated "Jenkins" user to create new pipeline. With a dedicated user I'm sure it will persist over time and that it has access to all private repositories. Which way did you choose?

(For your information: I'm using Jenkins Blue Ocean)

By the way I have an error, during the execution it cannot find "mktemp". Here is the error:

"No such DSL method 'mktemp' found among steps"

Do you have a specific "global" library that imports the right tool? Maybe you already had this issue...

Thank you,

We are using the same 'jenkins' user to access all repositories and other remote resources - so we don't have the problem you describe... Can't help you much on that subject - sorry.

Concerning `mktemp` it comes indeed from our shared global libraries - see the attached file.

Bertrand Renuart if you do not mind, could you also provide the "utils" Groovy script? I'm sorry it's triggering error one by one, I was thinking "utils" was included.

I'm sure it will help some others  Unable to render embedded object: File ( Thanks) not found.

Bertrand Renuart I checked online the docs for Jenkins Pipeline and have found that I was able to replace your line:

            if (utils.isUnixLike()) {

by

            if (isUnix()) {

I'm still looking for an official way to delete the directory with an official manner since your "rmdir" is apparently also imported from your shared library ("No such DSL method 'rmdir' found among steps")

Additional files... If you are still missing stuff, email me and I'll send you a zip with everything... (don't want to use Jira here as a file exchange mechanism

It works like a charm! You made me saving time  ... Thank you!

For anyone who is interested, don't hesitate to fork the following repo (I have wrapped required files into a library ready to be used in Jenkins):
