[iOS] Unable to clone from ssh repositories

[wadxm]

Hi, I'm trying to clone from a ssh repository with objective-git, but it failed with an "unsupported URL protocol" error, here's my code:

NSError *error; GTRepository *repo = [GTRepository cloneFromURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"ssh://git@xxx.org/xxx"] toWorkingDirectory:directoryPath options:nil error:&error transferProgressBlock:nil];

After running, repo will be nil and here is the content of error:

Error Domain=GTGitErrorDomain Code=-1 "Failed to clone repository from ssh://git@code.byted.org/ugc/AWELocalizations to file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/6BEF1FF1-94DB-4D01-8AD9-EA1E51937195/Documents/AWELocalizations" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=Failed to clone repository from ssh://git@code.byted.org/ugc/AWELocalizations to file:///var/mobile/Containers/Data/Application/6BEF1FF1-94DB-4D01-8AD9-EA1E51937195/Documents/AWELocalizations, NSUnderlyingError=0x1d40562c0 {Error Domain=GTGitErrorDomain Code=-1 "unsupported URL protocol" UserInfo={NSLocalizedDescription=unsupported URL protocol}}}

I'm wondering what's wrong with my configurations, thanks a lot :-)

This error message usually means libssh2 (which is what libgit2 uses for SSH transport) is not available.

the same error, how to fix it?

[tiennou]

You need to compile libgit2 with SSH support enabled, which entails having libssh2 installed as well. Normally ./script/bootstrap & ./script/update_libgit2 are the scripts that take care of setting up dependencies.

I have tried recompiling libssh2 but the error still occurs, so finally I directly download the complied framework and embed this one in my project

[tiennou]

Strange… Can you check the output of git_libgit2_features to make sure the SSH support is enabled in your build ?

[Maxwin-z]

As @wadxm mentioned, I use Carthage embed the framework, and fixed the problem.

Glad to hear you've got it working. #643 has updated libssh2 to 1.8.0, which works against the "new" GitHub cryptosuite.
