Hi,

I setup a checkout task to pull one bitbucket project with submodules in Bamboo. I checked the submodules option but when it start to pull the submodules I get an error of permissin denied.

simple	11-Feb-2013 17:44:33	Clone of 'git@bitbucket.org:mashon/dabble-admin.git' into submodule path 'dabble-admin' failed

Why it has the right permissions to fetch the main project but not the submodules? (All of them are in bitbucket same account)

Full log details:

When handling submodules, Git does not ask Bamboo for the private key and just uses whatever is available in ~/bamboo/.ssh/ . Try adding your private key there.

How do you add files to ~/bamboo/.ssh?

What is the name of the file need to be?

How do you specify this file for the git authentication?

Will this work with bitbucket? (https://or ssh:// ? which?)

Do you mean to put this on the Elastic EC2 instance, then create a new 'image'?

What if I have a lot of changes in the "Capabilities" for the image? Do I need to redo them all over again?

It doesn't work with https protocols and private bitbucket repositories. Main repository which is being pulled from bitbucket via https: and username\password is working fine. Submodule which requires same authentication credentials - failing with fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://bitbucket.org/<teamname>/logging.git/'; Is there any workaround for this bug ?
