Remote build agent connecting to bitbucket behind a proxy
Asked by Fabien Ruffin:

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a Bamboo remote agent to grab source code from a Bitbucket Git repository. The agent runs on Windows behind a proxy. I've setup the repository in my build plan and setup the proxy in Git global settings. Manually cloning the repo from the build agent server works fine, but when triggering a build I get the following:

java.lang.RuntimeException: com.atlassian.bamboo.repository.RepositoryException: Cannot fetch branch '(unresolved) ' from 'https://bitbucket.org/myaccount/myrepository.git' to source directory 'C:\\Services\\BambooRemoteAgent\\RemoteAgentHome\\xml-data\\build-dir\\DOM-DOMCB-JOB1'. <https://bitbucket.org/myaccount/myrepository.git>: cannot open git-upload-pack

Could someone please advise on how to get this working?

Thanks for your help!

I've now tried to add this to my wrapper.conf file:

wrapper.java.additional.3=-Dhttp.proxyHost=myproxyhosturl  
wrapper.java.additional.4=-Dhttp.proxyPort=8080  
wrapper.java.additional.5=-Dhttp.noProxyHosts="localhost\|mybambooserverurl"

I've restarted the service after the change, but it doesn't change anything and I'm still getting the exact same error. Is that what I was supposed to do?

The thing that puzzles me is that in the build log it looks like "something" (not sure if it's the main server, the build agent or git) is able to connect to my repository as it is getting the revision number out corretly. I can see this in the logs and it's matching my bitbucket revision number:

"Updating source code to revision: 41a4c75eb9e0d92823008c0b56572f649dbbbaff"

But just after that I'm getting this:

"Creating local git repository in 'C:\\Services\\BambooRemoteAgent\\xml-data\\build-dir\\DOM-DOMCB-JOB1\\.git'.

Cannot fetch branch '(unresolved) master' from 'https://bitbucket.org/myaccount/myrepository.git' to source directory 'C:\\Services\\BambooRemoteAgent\\xml-data\\build-dir\\DOM-DOMCB-JOB1'. <https://bitbucket.org/myaccount/myrepository.git>: cannot open git-upload-pack"

And I forgot to mention earlier that I already have setup the proxy details in the Git global config and I'm using "Git For Windows" and not msysgit. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the problem.

Any idea?

Thanks for your help
