Unable to successfully perform GitPush or GetPushRef in cake script

I am attempting to use GitAliases to commit some changes to my Git repo from a cake script on Jenkins. I have been able to overcome the lack of descriptive information and examples for the methods and arguments in the documentation (https://cakebuild.net/api/Cake.Git/GitAliases/) for GitAdd(), GitCommit(), and GitTag(), all of which are working successfully now, but I am not able to get GitPush() nor GitPushRef() to work no matter what I try.

#addin "nuget:https://www.nuget.org/api/v2?package=Cake.Git";

using System;
using System.IO;

var gitUserName = Argument("gitUserName","userName");
var gitUserPassword = Argument("gitUserPassword","");
var gitEmail = Argument("gitEmail","[email protected]");
var gitBranchName = Argument("gitBranchName","feature/test-git");


Task("Git:CommitAndPush")
    .Does(() =>
    {
        var rootPath = "./..";
        Information($"Commit and Push {rootPath}");

        Information("Staging all updated files in /available, /extracted, and /src directories...");
        var toAdd = new FilePath[]
        {
            new FilePath(Path.Combine(rootPath, "available")),
            new FilePath(Path.Combine(rootPath, "extracted"))
        };
        GitAdd(rootPath, toAdd);

        Information("Committing files...");
        var commit = GitCommit(rootPath, gitUserName, gitEmail, "Commit message");

        Information($"Pushing changes for commit {commit}...");

        // TODO: Cannot get any of these to work!
        //GitPush(rootPath);
        //GitPush(rootPath, gitUserName, gitUserPassword);
        //GitPush(rootPath, gitUserName, gitUserPassword, gitBranchName);

        //var gitTag = "myTag";
        //GitTag(rootPath, gitTag);
        //GitPushRef(rootPath, "origin", gitTag);
        //GitPushRef(rootPath, gitUserName, gitUserPassword, "origin", gitTag);

        Information("Git process complete!");
    });

I have tried every overload of GitPush() and GitPushRef() including creating a tag and pushing the tag using GitPushRef() but no luck. I can see the commit is successful locally, and the tag gets created, but the Push always fails. The most common error I am getting is:

"Error: One or more errors occurred. unsupported URL protocol"

The Git user account uses SSH.

Solution

  • Cake Git uses libgit2sharp for git operations, which doesn't support SSH.

    There's an open issue for it on libgit2sharp GitHub repo https://github.com/libgit2/libgit2sharp/issues/1422
