ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'

Question

I am trying to set up a Git project in Jenkins using the Git plugin.

On the Jenkins Management page, I enter the repository URL into the Git configuration.

However, when I create the project, I get the following error:

ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin' hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Could not init C:\Users\m.kothamasu\.jenkins\jobs\gvp web\workspace at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$4.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:476) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$2.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:379) at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.retrieveChanges(GitSCM.java:846) at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.checkout(GitSCM.java:879) at hudson.model.AbstractProject.checkout(AbstractProject.java:1252) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.defaultCheckout(AbstractBuild.java:624) at jenkins.scm.SCMCheckoutStrategy.checkout(SCMCheckoutStrategy.java:86) at hudson.model.AbstractBuild$AbstractBuildExecution.run(AbstractBuild.java:530) at hudson.model.Run.execute(Run.java:1732) at hudson.model.FreeStyleBuild.run(FreeStyleBuild.java:43) at hudson.model.ResourceController.execute(ResourceController.java:88) at hudson.model.Executor.run(Executor.java:234) Caused by: hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Error performing command: C:\Users\m.kothamasu\GIT init C:\Users\m.kothamasu\.jenkins\jobs\gvp web\workspace at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1332) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1301) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1297) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommand(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1084) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$4.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:474) ... 11 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "C:\Users\m.kothamasu\GIT" (in directory "C:\Users\m.kothamasu\.jenkins\jobs\gvp web\workspace"): CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:460) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.<init>(Proc.java:244) at hudson.Proc$LocalProc.<init>(Proc.java:216) at hudson.Launcher$LocalLauncher.launch(Launcher.java:780) at hudson.Launcher$ProcStarter.start(Launcher.java:360) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:1321) ... 15 more Caused by: java.io.IOException: CreateProcess error=5, Access is denied at java.lang.ProcessImpl.create(Native Method) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.<init>(ProcessImpl.java:81) at java.lang.ProcessImpl.start(ProcessImpl.java:30) at java.lang.ProcessBuilder.start(ProcessBuilder.java:453) ... 20 more 

Answer 1

Make sure you specify the git executable in the configuration of the Jenkins git plugin:

C:\Users\m.kothamasu\GI not like exe.

It will be similar to JENKINS-6181 (which was related to perforce, but the idea has not changed).

Also check out JENKINS-12353 to make sure that <git/bin> is in your PATH.

Answer 2

you can set the Git location in the Jenkins / node server configuration:

goto Customize, in the Node section of the Property Icon, select the "Tools" checkbox. Place "Place" and indicate the path to Git.
