Workaround is to clone using https.

I'm having the same problem, and it appears at this time that the workaround of using https to clone the repo does in fact work.

Jenkins: 2.179

Git client plugin: 2.7.7

Git Parameter Plug-In: 0.9.10

Git plugin: 3.10.0

Jenkins master is Linux, Build slave is Windows 10 Pro

Discovered by accident:  If I create a copy of a job that has this bug, the copy does not seem to!  (Click "New Item" in a folder, give the new item a name and choose "Copy" down at the bottom, and enter the name of the job that is breaking like this.)  Save, run the job once (the first time it has been working for everybody), run it again - and the second time seems to be working.  Even after doing this, the original job still has the error described by this bug.

I looked at the two config.xml files - they seem identical except for a GUID.  So I'm not sure why this happens, but it might provide a sort of workaround to those who are frustrated by this behavior.

My jobs are all FreeStyle jobs.  I have seen this on multiple jobs (I had to essentially rename a bunch of jobs because their common suffix was part of an exclusion pattern in a test config.).  I am confident that, because it is still happening on the original jobs, it is not related to any sort of plugin upgrades (I have upgraded plugins, though the Git plugins I noted above are still at those same versions.)

I have the same issue with one of the jobs on my Jenkins installation. 

Error Output from the Console Log

> git fetch --tags --progress git@git-server:organization/project.git +refs/heads/:refs/remotes/origin/

ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'

Much like John Elion above, when I make a clone of the affected job, the cloned job has the same issue as the original job. If I create an entirely new job, and fill in the configuration values manually, the new job works fine. Somehow, the cloned job is "inheriting" the buggy behavior from its parent. 

My jobs are the FreeStyle type, and they use the Build Parameters configuration option. On my Jenkins installation, I use the Git plug-in, the Git Client plug-in, and the GitLab plug-in. The Jenkins master and all of the Jenkins slaves run Ubuntu Linux. 

So far, the only solution to this issue I can find is to manually re-create the affected job (no cloning).

I have same problem too... 

Hi,

I released plugin in version 0.9.11 where this issue was resolved, could you check that and confirm the issue is resolved

im getting the same error after upgrading plugin 0.9.11.

This is breaking the existing build and we couldn't rollback .since we are using the multibrnach pipeline. 

I can confirm that the issue is fixed after an update to, i.e. I can not reproduce it with the steps from my comment above and we could change jobs that we adopted to use https URLs back to clone via SSH again and confirm that the jobs work fine now. Jenkins 2.176.1, git-parameter-plugin 0.9.11.

Not fixed for me

re-creating job doesn't help
