Describe the bug

When trying to clone git repository using git@gitlab.com/something/something using ssh key, which is protected by password, Che never asks me for a password and the clone fails with this error:

git clone git@gitlab.something/something/web-app.git /projects/web-app
Cloning into '/projects/web-app'...
git@gitlab.com: Permission denied (publickey).
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

Che version

che.openshift.io

  • latest
  • nightly
  • other: please specify

Steps to reproduce

  • Generate ssh keypair with a password (ssh-keygen)
  • Upload public part of that key to gitlab/github
  • Start any workspace
  • upload private part of the key to the workspace
  • try to clone some repo using this format -> git@gitlab.something/something/web-app.git

Expected behavior

Repo is cloned

Reproduced with Git: Clone action as well.

As a workaround, it's possible to clone project manually from terminal:

putting p1 since it's typical to set passphrase for ssh keys
