Troubleshooting Gitlab
Clone on Windows: Could not resolve hostname[edit | edit source]
If you clone a project using SSH, Windows may answer:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname forge:etsi.org:_username_: Name or service not known.
How to fix:
- Check that there are not mispellings in the URL
- Try adding a
/after the colon, i.e:...forge:etsi.org:/_username_... - Try using HTTPS instead of SSH
"Authentication Failed" when pushing on master[edit | edit source]
If you receive a "Authentication error" while pushing your changes to the master branch, you most probably have a role "Developer" in the project, which does not allow you to push onto the master branch.
You will want to push to another branch (an existing one or a newly created), by issuing the following git command (or similar operation using a visual tool):
git push origin <local-branch>:<remote-branch>
For example, if you developed a new feature you would like to contribute in a new branch called "new-feature", you will want to issue the command:
git push origin new-feature:new-feature
Authorization issues (e.g. 403)[edit | edit source]
Check the following:
1. Check logging into Gitlab with your EOL[edit | edit source]
Are you able to sign in at https://forge.etsi.org/gitlab/users/sign_in with your EOL account?
2. Check group membership and permissions[edit | edit source]
Once logged in, visit https://forge.etsi.org/gitlab/mec . In case you have “Request group access” below the group name please click on it.
3. Check your SSH setup[edit | edit source]
Once set up your SSH keys, to verify they are working you need to issue:
ssh [[1]]
And verify that you see the following: PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
Welcome to GitLab, <YOUR_EOL_USER>! Connection to forge.etsi.org closed.
4. Verify that remote URL is correct[edit | edit source]
The URL for the origin remote should be in the following format (where 'group' and 'project' are replaced by your group and project names):
- git@forge.etsi.org:<group>/<project>.git for SSH access,
- https://forge.etsi.org/rep/<group>/<project>.git for SSH access,
To change the remote URL, use:
$ git remote set-url origin <CORRECT-URL>
