Problem under Windows .gitconfig vs. gitconfig

    • Icon: Bug Bug
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Icon: Minor Minor
    • git-plugin
    • Jenkins ver. 2.60.1
      Git client 3.6.4
      Git for windows

      When the gitconfig is stored with a preceeding . i.e. .gitconfig the plugin has problems to find/read it. I have observed this with the configuration for self-signed ssl certificates, similar to the issue JENKINS-48334

      My Setup

      I have ...

      • git for Windows installed on the Jenkins Server under *D:\TOOLS\Git*
      • jenkins configured so that the git-plugin uses D:\TOOLS\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe
      • a Bitbucket with a self-signed certificate
      • a Certificate chain ca-chain.pem can be found under D:\TOOLS\Git\mingw64\ssl\certs (contains the full CA-chain required to reconsider the certificate from stash/bitbucket as valid)
      • a .gitconfig file in the home directory of the user who runs jenkins service (let's call him 'jenkinsuser'
      • the .gitconfig file contains the following configuration

      [http]

          sslcainfo = /ssl/certs/ca-chain.pem

          sslVerify = true

      My Observations

      When I (jenkinsuser)

      {{Failed to connect to repository : Command "D:\TOOLS\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe ls-remote -h https://bitbucket/scm/test/test.git HEAD" returned status code 128: }}
      {{stdout: }}
      stderr: fatal: unable to access 'https://bitbucket/scm/test/test.git ': error setting certificate verify locations: CAfile: D:/TOOLS/Git/mingw64/libexec/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt CApath: none

      When I rename the file from .gitconfig to gitconfig Jenkins has no problems.

      The same can be observed if you rename the D:\TOOLS\Git\mingw64\etc\gitconfig to .gitconfig

      Again when calling git form command line the name .gitconfig or gitconfig does not make any difference, both work fine.

I have observed this with the configuration for self-signed ssl certificates, similar to the issue [JENKINS-48334|https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-48334]

          *My Setup*

          I have ...
           * git for Windows installed on the Jenkins Server under ```D:\TOOLS\Git\```
           * jenkins configured so that the git-plugin uses ```D:\TOOLS\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe```
           * a Bitbucket with a self-signed certificate
           * a Certificate chain ```ca-chain.pem``` can be found under ```D:\TOOLS\Git\mingw64\ssl\certs``` (contains the full CA-chain required to reconsider the certificate from stash/bitbucket as valid)

           * a .gitconfig file in the home directory of the user who runs jenkins service (let's call him 'jenkinsuser'

          ```

          [http]

              sslcainfo = /ssl/certs/ca-chain.pem

              sslVerify = true

          ```

          *My Observations*

          When I (jenkinsuser)
           * run ```git ls-remote -h https://bitbucket/scm/test/test.git``` all works fine
           * try to setup the reopository URL (SCM Git Plugin) in my jenkins job I get the following error:
          ```

          Failed to connect to repository : Command "D:\TOOLS\Git\mingw64\bin\git.exe ls-remote -h

          [https://bitbucket/scm/test/test.git] HEAD" returned status code 128:
