Error installing private git repo with ssh url

[m-muecke]

I'm getting the following error when trying to install a private git repo with a ssh URL (substituted r-lib/pak as the url for the example, but getting the same error with a private repo hosted on Gitea). The error doesn't occur when I run remotes::install_git instead.

pak::pak("git::git@github.com:r-lib/pak.git")
#> Error: ! error in pak subprocess
#> Caused by error: 
#> ! Could not solve package dependencies:
#> * git::git@github.com:r-lib/pak.git: ! pkgdepends resolution error for git::git@github.com:r-lib/pak.git.
#> Caused by error: 
#> ! Failed to download 'DESCRIPTION' from git repo at
#> <://git@github.com:r-lib/pak.git>.
#> Caused by error in `(function (e) …`:
#> ! URL rejected: Port number was not a decimal number between 0 and 65535

ssh urls are currently not supported, only https, sorry.

That explains a lot. But I'm getting the same error for the private repo hosted on Gitea using https, whereas I'm not getting an error with remotes.

I am fairly sure that you are not getting the same

#> ! URL rejected: Port number was not a decimal number between 0 and 65535

error for a https git repo.

But in any case, you'll have to show us the code you are running and the output you are getting. Ideally, you could show a reproducible example, but that might be hard in this case.

Here the error output, just exchanged the real name for blank:

pak::pak("git::https://gitea.blank.de/repl/replraw.git")

IS it possible that your git config still uses the ssh url, and that is used when pak is trying to get the credentials from the git credential store?

E.g. does

gitcreds::gitcreds_get(url = "https://...")

work?

[m-muecke]

Getting the following:

gitcreds::gitcreds_get(url = "https://...")
#> <gitcreds>
#>   protocol: https
#>   host    : gitea...
#>   username: maximilian...
#>   password: <-- hidden -->

OK, I can reproduce this, and it is probably a bug in pak, unfortunately.
