ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin'

Question

Tried with the configure option, not able to find the tools configuration option and the git executable section. Seems like it occurs after a successful build only. Please help.

Here's the output I receive after building the project on the console output section:

  Building in workspace C:\Users\Anishas\.jenkins\workspace\Sample123

Answer 1

If anyone is using Jenkins with freshly installed Xcode, you'll need to agree to the license using sudo xcodebuild -license or agree through UI.

Answer 2

Then you need to follow below steps. Hope so this may be useful for you to resolve your problem.

If your master is linux machine and slave is windows machine...

Pre-Requisites:

• your slave machine should have same java version(jdk 1.8).
• Git should be installed on your slave machine.

Steps to follow:

1. Go to your Windows slave configuration Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes

2. Select your slave configuration

3. Check Tool Locations under Node Properties

4. Enter complete path to git executable including git.exe

Tool Locations
   Name: (GIT) git
   Home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe

See screenshot:

Answer 3

This wasted so much time on my Jenkins Windows slave.

I knew git was in the path because I executed "where git" in the build job's batch command.

where git
C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe

Apparently the Jenkins Git Plugin executes ** before ** the environment is inherited.

SET YOUR SLAVE's PATH to Git ( Just DO IT !! )

1) Go to your Windows slave configuration Manage Jenkins > Manage Nodes

2) Select your slave configuration

3) Check Tool Locations under Node Properties

4) Enter complete path to git executable including git.exe

[x] Tool Locations
   Name: (GIT) git
   Home: C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\git.exe

See screenshot:

Answer 4

Sometimes this error occurs when disk space is less. so do check the space of your machine where jenkins is hosted. :)

Answer 5

Don't forget to Add your deploy key credentials (the deploy key attached to the github project) in jenkins (http://yourjenkinsurl:8080/credentials/)

Answer 6

Windows: 1. Install git in windows machine 2. The git.exe path is C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe (by default, unless you change during installation) 3.Now need to show the path of git.exe in Jenkins git plugin tool

a)manage Jenkins>Global Tool Configuration>Git

b)Add git : name: anything and Path:C:\Program Files\Git\cmd\git.exe 4. Then build for clone. Should be ok

Linux CentOS7: Same error message I got and after installation git in same machine were Jenkins installed, it is solved.

yum install git
