Error pushing to git remote with http

[jasabalete]

I have configured my git remote like this:

[remote "origin"]
    url = http://MY-HOST.../branch-locatlocator-select-ui.git

And when i do a push show me an error:

fatal: Authentication failed for 'http://MY-HOST.../branch-locatlocator-select-ui.git/'

Why Visual Studio Code add the final slash? :(

[joaomoreno]

Oh that's terrible, sorry for that!

[joaomoreno]

I assume a simple git push from the command line works, right?

[jasabalete]

Yes, "git push" from the command line works

[joaomoreno]

Git seems to do this, not VS Code. Here's a snippet from the command line:

$ git config remote.origin.url
https://github.com/joaomoreno/node-libarchive.git
$ git push
Username for 'https://github.com': joaomoreno
Password for 'https://joaomoreno@github.com':
remote: Invalid username or password.
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/joaomoreno/node-libarchive.git/'

Is your host by any chance GitHub or BitBucket? Which command line exactly are you using?

Closing as dupe of #490. Will reopen if further information reveals this to be an independent issue.

[jasabalete]

My repo is GitLab CE

$ git config remote.origin.url
http://ISLINGIP01.scisb.isban.corp/portales-branch-locator/branch-locator-select-ui.git

The URL with the final slash only apears in VSCode and if i put this URL in Chrome for example return ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Why VSCode connect with the remote and add a final slash?

[jasabalete]

Note: the error is in VSCode when I do a push or a pull in the Git feature

[joaomoreno]

Is there any way you can set up a repository in that same server and give me credentials to access it so I can try to repro?

[jasabalete]

the same error in gitlab.com repository.

 fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://gitlab.com/jasabalete/test-project.git/'

I invite you in a public repository for testing and "master" role :)

[jasabalete]

I do this:
1 - Create a public repository
2 - git clone https://blah/blah.git
3 - Open the folder with VSCode
4 - Commit and push a file
5 - VSCode add final slash "/" and error
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://blah/blah.git/'

git push origin master from command line works!

[joaomoreno]

Thanks for the repo access. There was definitely a problem with VS Code's credential helper. When running the push action, you should have seen this dialog:

The dialog is not showing up in 0.10.3 unfortunately. Fixed it and will be in for the December milestone.

With the fix, I was able to successfully push to the GitLab repo using the credentials I configured in the GitLab website.

[jasabalete]

This dialog is showing to me. I put the credentials and show the error

[joaomoreno]

I am using the username that I found in the bottom left corner of the GitLab UI. You can't use your e-mail address.

And the password set in the following dialog:

Please make sure you are using the right credentials, reset your password, try again, etc.

[jasabalete]

I know my credentials. I use this repository from several project with eclipse and command line too and works with ssh and https connections.

Thank for all :)

[joaomoreno]

If you use the SSH remote url, it should all work, since no password prompt will occur.

If you use HTTPS, you should get the prompt. I do, I input the credentials I configured in GitLab and it works for me.

Maybe it's platform specific? Which platform are you on?

[spongessuck]

I have a development server on my domain that's running Bonobo Git Server set up to use Windows authentication. My credentials work everywhere except in VS Code. I get a similar authentication error with the trailing slash.

[jasabalete]

The new versión of VSCode WORKS :)

Thanks and go on!

[spongessuck]

I'm using VSCode 0.10.6 (newest version) and I still have this problem.

[stefanvangastel]

@TejasCMehta; Fixed the problem for me!

[spongessuck]

@TejasCMehta
Also worked for me.

[lv7777]

I also arise same bug on windows8.

[user414]

I wouldn't use store for this since as per git specs it store the password unencrypted on disk

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store

I would use

git config credential.helper cache

instead with optional timeout

https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-cache

This is still just a workaround until a proper fix but it works.

[joaomoreno]

I support the cache credential helper as a workaround until we tackle this issue head on.

[BryanConradHart]

I'm running into this problem too.
Ubuntu 15.10 (inside virtualbox on win10 pro)
VS Code -v 0.10.10

I do not get presented with a credential dialog.
I am able to successfully push from command line.
doing git config push.default matching, pushing from commandline and then trying again from vsCode made no difference.

[jonathanfishbein1]

Similar set up to BryanConradHart getting the error

[jfaquinojr]

same as @jonathanfishbein1. Linux Mint 17.3

[ansarizafar]

I am also facing the same problem

[joaomoreno]

The authentication dialog was fixed by #1796, it should start coming up on the next release.

Meanwhile, I do suggest using a credential helper.

[michaelazer]

I'm running into the same error.
I can git push from the command line, but can't through VS Code.
I get the following error:

Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.

I downloaded and installed the credential helper then tried both:
git config credential.helper cache
as well as
git config credential.helper store
but still doesn't work.

ps. I'm using version 1.2.1

Thanks a lot for your support.

I was having a similar problem with OSX. I turned OFF 2 - factor authentication and the problem resolved itself.

[Ron1137]

I tried pushing to git hub but I got an error message saying couldn't connect to server . What can I do?
I followed all the push instruction , disabled the wifi proxy settings and used LAN cable but still nothing

[larssb]

To @jm-rives and others make sure to follow > Authorizing when using two-factor auth

I hope it helps.
