Unable to clone specific repository through ssh,TransportException:session is down

Question

We have 2 repositories and we are trying to clone through same ssh key. But one of them is throwing the exception "Session is down."

ERROR: org.eclipse.jgit.api.errors.TransportException: git@bitbucket.org:automationanywhere/aaenterprise.git: session is down
at org.eclipse.jgit.api.FetchCommand.call(FetchCommand.java:255)
at org.eclipse.jgit.api.CloneCommand.fetch(CloneCommand.java:302)
at org.eclipse.jgit.api.CloneCommand.call(CloneCommand.java:200)

Any suggestion will help.

Thanks

Thanks, Daniil to understand the issue. We are using App and that app communicating to bitbucket through jgit only. We are not using egit. Yes, I tried to run the same on another machine but got the same error. The client has 2 repositories. One of them is cloning fine but another one is throwing the exception. Jgit Version is: org.eclipse.jgit org.eclipse.jgit 5.5.0.201909110433-r Please let me know if you need anything. Thanks, Manish

So this configuration for ssh is an equivalent to:

ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa_aa_new

and is unrelated to the git operations.

If the repository is cloned from the command line without any issues, I do believe it's an issue with JGit and very unlikely something to do with Bitbucket.

Let's try to figure out how to fix it. What version of Eclipse are you using? Have you tried cloning on another machine?

Cheers,

Yes..I tried through command line and it worked fine but we have to add following entries under <user_profile>/.ssh/config

AddKeysToAgent yes
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_aa_new

But one thing is strange...one repo clone is working fine and another repo not working for the same client. Any setting do we need to from bitbucket.

Thanks
