Python code to clone bitbucket repository using subprocess

[kompal_sithta]

Hi All,

I am trying to clone a python repository using the following code. I am trying to automate the process of cloning for certain automation tasks required for code analysis:

import subprocess

def clone_bitbucket_repo(username, password, repository_url,destination_path):

    command = ['git' ,'clone', repository_url, destination_path]

    # Set up environment variables for authentication

    env_variables = {

        'BITBUCKET_USERNAME': username,

        'BITBUCKET_PASSWORD': password

    }

    # Execute the git clone command

    try:

        subprocess.check_output(command, shell=True, env=env_variables)

        print("Repository cloned successfully!")

    except subprocess.CalledProcessError as e:

        print(f"Error cloning repository: {e}")

# Example usage

bitbucket_username = 'username'

bitbucket_password = 'password'

repository_url = 'https://username@bitbucket.org/{workspace-name}/{repo-name}.git'

destination_path = 'path/of/folder/'

clone_bitbucket_repo(bitbucket_username, bitbucket_password, repository_url,destination_path)

the error being generated by running this script is :fatal: unable to access 'https://bitbucket.org/{workspace-name}/{repo-name}.git/': getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

Please let me know if can have a solution to reolve this error.

Thanks,

Kompal

The problem

The error message

unable to access 'https://bitbucket.org/{workspace-name}/{repo-name}.git/': getaddrinfo()

...makes it clear that those two placeholders in the URL weren't replaced.

The fix

Change this:

repository_url = 'https://username@bitbucket.org/{workspace-name}/{repo-name}.git'

to the URL where you enter your actual workspacename and repository name:

repository_url = 'https://username@bitbucket.org/foo/bar.git'

To me it seems that the "username" part in the URL should also be replaced. At least I don't think that this is what you really want to use.
