Bamboo and Git errors

Question

We've been having some issues with Bamboo's Git support, and have a support query outstanding on repo corruption.

Regardless of that one, we generally seem to get a lot of errors generated (about 1 per hour, where our repo checks are set to every 3 or 10 minutes):

com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.RepositoryException: ssh://xxxx@xxxx.xxxx.com/repos/swift.git: Session.connect: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset
	at com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.git.GitOperationHelper.obtainLatestRevision(GitOperationHelper.java:106)
	at com.atlassian.bamboo.plugins.git.GitRepository.collectChangesSinceLastBuild(GitRepository.java:143)

These errors are quite annoying - especially because on the next retry it works again. We never got these before with another build server.

Anybody else got a similar problem, or a solution?

Cheers,

Christian

Hey there,

* Please try to use 'None' in the repository configuration page for the authentication
* Manually configure the SSH executable from the Administration -> Server Capabilities page (add a new Git executable and a new drop-down will appear. choose SSH and type the full path of the SSH executable)
* If you still face the same problem, try to run the same checkout from a simple Inline Script task instead of using a Source Code Checkout task.
* Also, try to upgrade your Bamboo instance to the latest version.
* If nothing helps, please sign up, open a new support ticket and provide your Bamboo logs and screenshots of your repository configurations.

Cheers,
Armen

I have the same issues but my builds don't fail. It just looks like the Git plugin keeps a connection open when it is cloning instead of closing it.

Do you get any errors in the ssh log?
