Acces by GitHub Web interface

• If I look at the raw for the commit in question from the web interface, I can get it.

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/********/Ginkoia.API.Common/055ebe11ac4755d397bdc36423f41c8a9f21a6f1/Ginkoia.Api.Common/Services/CollectionServicesExtensions.cs?token=xxxxx

• The only difference is that in the address the TOKEN is passed as a parameter, but I don't know where and how sourcelink uses my PAT

I don't know where my mistake is. Please help me

Same probleme as issue 635

[DavyLGinkoia]

For information I caught the request sent by sourcelink and there is no authentication

GET /*****/Ginkoia.API.Common/3a6f2a068a7d8d652fe4a1af513778f27c82cff4/Ginkoia.Api.Common/Services/CollectionServicesExtensions.cs HTTP/1.1

No Proxy-Authorization Header is present.
No Authorization Header is present.

I try the same request with postman and it's work

I try to change without succes

<RepositoryUrl>https://github.com/***********/Ginkoia.API.Common</RepositoryUrl>
to 
<PrivateRepositoryUrl>https://github.com/***********/Ginkoia.API.Common</PrivateRepositoryUrl>

How i can pass the basic authentication ?

I have this same problem with GHE. VS produces this output (in the "Navigate to External Sources" output) if I F12 into a nuget with source-linked pdb:

Navigating to symbol 'SYMBOL' from 'DLL'.
Symbol found in assembly path 'C:\Users\stephen.cleary\.nuget\packages\PACKAGE\VERSION\lib\TARGET\DLL.dll'
Found PDB file at 'C:\Users\stephen.cleary\.nuget\packages\PACKAGE\VERSION\lib\TARGET\DLL.pdb'
git-credential-manager-core.exe: Could not obtain credentials. Process failed with exit code -1.
ERROR: The request failed with code 404 : "Not Found". Treating 404 as authentication failure. Some services return 404 instead of 401 for authentication failures.

Notes:

• I verified the nuget package with Nuget Package Explorer, and the pdb source links are correct (just missing the token parameter).
• All our repos are cloned with the git: protocol, so git doesn't have any https: credentials saved.

The easiest workaround IMO is to install ReSharper and try again. Re# will bring up a notice that allows you to add your Git username and PAT:

This creates a Windows Credential:

You can take a similar path by logging in to Visual Studio and under Account Settings ensure that your GitHub Enterprise account is present. This creates a Windows Credential for GitHub for Visual Studio. Or you can add the credential manually. Either of these approaches solved the authentication problem for me.

However, even with these credentials, VS-without-ReSharper will sometimes work but sometimes not. I believe it only gives 2 or 3 seconds for the source to be found and downloaded, which is not fast enough in my situation. In these situations I get The operation was canceled. or A task was canceled. in my Navigate to External Sources output. ReSharper does not have the same timeout problems.

TL;DR: Use ReSharper. VS doesn't really work well in this scenario (yet). Oh, and submit feedback to the VS team, since it's pretty clearly their problem and not a problem in this repository.
