How to connect to BitBucket from FishEye?

Borek Bernard

I'd like to use FishEye / Crucible over our BitBucket repository but the connection is simply not working. What I have done:

1. Installed Crucible with FishEye evaluation
2. I run the whole thing as a Windows service
3. I went to admistritation, clicked Add existing repository, selected Git, then enter URL of my private repository like ssh://git@bitbucket.org:myaccount/myprivaterepo.git
4. I've selected "generate key pair for SSH" as an authentication method, clicked Generate and copied the public key to my BitBucket account

Now when I click "test connectino", I get this:

Fisheye is using 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\ssh.exe' to authenticate with SSH authenticated repositories.

Error testing connection.
Error talking to repository:

ssh.exe": bitbucket.org:myaccount: no address associated with name
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

Connection failed.

What does this mean? if that's of any importanct, the generated public key ends with "MyProject on FishEye at http://mydomain.com", not an email address as usual. Can it be the issue? If so, what do I change so that the generated key contains an email address? Or is it some other problem?

According to this page, SSH URL as provided by BitBucket is not one of the supported formats, or it may be that this line from the documentation applies:

FishEye does not directly support the ssh protocol for Git repositories. To use ssh, launch FishEye within the context of ssh-agent, to which the appropriate ssh keys have been added.

So at the moment, one has to use HTTPS.
