I can't seem to create a project from a url when using TeamCity. I am hosting my code on bitbucket using mercurial. When I enter the repository URL, I get this error:
Cannot create a project using the specified URL. The URL is not
recognized.
My url looks like this:
https://logeyg#bitbucket.org/logeyg/tracs-enhancements
And I am of course supplying a username and password. I have tried removing the 'logeyg#' but that doesn't work either.
Did you try SSH URL? What exact version of TC do you use?
There were some fixes in 9.0.2 version (https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-39730), maybe it is also for BitBucket.
Btw. I've just tried with internal Git repo and it works fine with both HTTPS and SSH protocols. Maybe there is a problem with BitBucket itself.
There is a ticket suggi(https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/TW-48788) suggesting mercurial may not be installed.
Ensure mercurial is installed (https://www.mercurial-scm.org/)
Try https://bitbucket.org/logeyg/tracs-enhancements/src without the username and add /src
Check the Admin-> Diagnostics -> Server Logs -> teamcity-vcs
This will provide more info eg. invalid credentials, hg not installed.
If your using bitbucket. Use the clone project URL. Once you do that the "create project URL" in TC will auto detect everything. I user Https and not ssh. Thanks

I use SourceTree with a local Mercurial server, the problem is that SourceTree is asking to authenticate at each operation. By example, for a clone it can be 10 times entering user/pwd ...
Though, I enter user/pwd and checked the "remember" checkbox, it continue to ask.
I have see that I can use SSH, but I have no access to the repository web page (it is a local server) to setup the SSH key.
1 - I tried to setup an account in SourceTree using Options>Authentication
Using the option "Bitbucket server" and entering our server URL. In fact, with this method I can even enter my password, it just failed !
2 - By using an URL like this : https://username:password#serverurl
3 - Using the Windows Credentials Manager !
4 - I edited the .hgrc file
Does someone has an idea ?
I was unable to solve the issue, then I use TortoiseHG and this tool works !
So, it looks like a bug in SourceTree !
You can also switch for SourceTree version 1.6.23, this one will work.
This solution on the Atlassian Community solved the issue for me (edited for typos and clarity):
For all who are using SourceTree under Windows OS and Mercurial as Versioning tool and want to get rid of the boring popup asking for your credentials:
Start cmd shell as admin
Change path to where git-credential-manager.exe as been installed (normaly under ~\AppData\Local\Atlassian\SourceTree\git_extras)
Call "git-credential-manager.exe store"
In the next lines fill in:
protocol=https
host=code.domain.name
username=yourLoginName
password=yourLoginPassword
Press return again for a new empty line. If you don't get any message, everything is okay.
I've got my code in a Mercurial repository (secured with a self-signed certificate) and I'm trying to set up Jenkins to work with it.
I've got the Mercurial plugin installed in Jenkins (pointing to an install of TortoiseHg on the Jenkins Server/Slaves) and the Jenkins Job is properly configured to grab the source from the repository.
When I build manually (ie, via the web interface) everything works as expected.
However, it seems like the polling of the repository does not succeed as I get output similar to the following:
Started on Apr 27, 2012 1:07:41 PM
[<jobname>] $ hg pull --rev default
warning: <MercurialServerIP> certificate with fingerprint e3:5f:5e:ea:4f:da:ef:a4:0b:4a:bb:00:e8:31:59:de:ce:d0:28:94 not verified (check hostfingerprints or web.cacerts config setting)
abort: mercurial_keyring: http authorization required but program used in non-interactive mode

Done. Took 1.9 sec
No changes
I've previously done a manual clone of a repository so that I was able to enter the user's password to work with the Mercurial keyring extension for the authorization, but based on the error output it doesn't seem as though that's being applied.
How can I configure Jenkins or the machine running the build to do the polling successfully?
This may not be the best way to address the issue, but it worked for me and I'm able to move on.
The only way I was able to figure out how to get the server to remember the password in my setup was to specify it manually in \mercurial.ini .
NOTE: You may also have to remove the mercurial_keyring line from mercurial.ini. (This disables the keyring extension since we're specifying everything manually.)
I had previously believed that cloning a repository once on the server would let it remember the password, but this doesn't seem to work with the polling functionality in Jenkins (although it did work with my actual build scripts when they were executed on the server).
I'm not particularly pleased with having the password in plain text on the server, but until I find a better way to get the polling to work I can live with this.
Using the "kilnauth extension" you can have you credentials stored on your machine. This way you don't have to configure anything special on Jenkins.
$ hg help kilnauth
kilnauth extension - stores authentication cookies for HTTP
repositories. This extension knows how to capture Kiln
authentication tokens when pushing over HTTP.
This means you only need to enter your login and password once;
after that, the FogBugz token will be stored in your home
directory, allowing pushing without a password.
For instructions on how to install it follow: http://kiln.stackexchange.com/questions/341/how-can-i-install-kilns-mercurial-extensions-manually
After installing and playing around with mercurial , I am trying to get Hudson to clone the repository so it can build my project.
At the moment the following task works.
I Can sync to my external host and the code shows up on that host.
Now I am trying to configure hudson / jenkins to access the code on my host.
But unfortunately I am rolling on a error:

What actions do i need to do to tell Hudson to use username x and password y to acces the data?
Edited => Found how to integrate ssh .
Used SSH instead of https
Download putty.exe, puttygen.exe, pageant.exe, and plink.exe from the PuTTY website.
Start puttygen and generate a key in OPENSSH FORMAT (hudsons format) (=> How to use Svn + SSH )
Click the Save private key button and save the .PPK file somewhere.
Click the Save public key button and save it.
Go to your website and enter the public ssh-key
Run pageant.exe. The pageant icon (a computer wearing a hat) will show up in the status tray.
Right-click the pageant icon and choose Add Key.
Choose the .PPK file you saved earlier and type in its passphrase.

Install the Mercurial plugin in Hudson
All that’s left to do now is install
the Mercurial plugin in hudson. In a
browser, go to
http://INSERT_YOUR_IP_HERE:8080.
Hudson should come up.
Click on “Manage Hudson” and go to
“Manage Plugins”. Go to the
“Available” tab, check “Hudson
Mercurial plugin” and hit the
“Install” button. Hudson will prompt
you to restart, and then it’s
installed.
After that, just create a new job and
you’ll have a new “mercurial” option
in the “source control management”
section. Select that and put the ssh
URL in the “Repository URL” field.
Then put “default” in the “branch”
field and set up the rest of the job
to build/test your code (an exercise
left to the reader).
and here it is the first succesfull build !
Conclusion : This is a summary of all the small blogpost scattered arround the internet. I hope this post helps you in starting hudson and mercurial.
I think the problem is not related to username and password. Your stacktrace tells you there's something wrong with the path F:\Hudson\jobs\testproject\workspace.
Cannot run program hg (in directory
"F:\Hudson\jobs\testproject\workspace")
The directory name is invalid
Anyway, you can specify the username and password in the URL like: http://user:password#mydomain.org.
To authenticate the Jenkins/Hudson Mercurial plugin with BitBucket I too found it useful to use the SSH protocol instead of HTTPS particularly since:
there doesn't seem to be a way to store your HTTPS credentials to BitBucket with the Mercurial Jenkins plugin, but with SSH you can safely and securely store your credentials
with SSH you can configure it to use compression, which Mercurial doesn't do natively.
Good instructions for setting up SSH access to BitBucket are available here: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/BITBUCKET/Using+SSH+to+Access+your+Bitbucket+Repository
Notes:
If you are running Jenkins/Hudson on a *nix server, you will want to login as the user running the Jenkins process and perform these operations from that users home directory, so the configurations will be found by that user (e.g. on my Debian server installation of Jenkins standalone, the user 'jenkins' is created and the home directory is set to '/var/lib/jenkins' [not /home/jenkins] - where I performed the instructions provided at the above link).
I found it very helpful to assure the hg clone command worked from the command line before attempting to have Jenkins call it.
IMPORTANT: In order to get this to work, I had to generate a key ** without ** a passphrase.
You can add the following lines to jenkins .hgrc file (usually /var/lib/jenkins/.hgrc)
[auth]
bitbucket.prefix = https://bitbucket.org/your_user/...
bitbucket.username = your_user
bitbucket.password = ******
See http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/hgrc.5.html#auth
You can add your scm credentials in the 'Credentials` section of Jenkins:
Also change the job configuration to use the credentials:
I have a shared web host and I am trying to figure out a way to download the latest copy of a private project from bitbucket onto the server.
The server does not have any versioning tools installed, but it does have scp and ssh with a jailshell level of access. It also has wget and curl...
Can I can do something like this?
scp ssh://hg#bitbucket.org/jespern/testrepo ~/public_html
I don't have a problem setting up the identity files / DSA keys, but I'm not exactly sure how the protocols are put together here so I need some help with the basic syntax.
Or, if scp is not the way to go, does ssh have an option for doing this? or is it possible to use CURL or wGet to grab the latest version of the repository and then reconstruct it on the server?
I am sure there is a way to do this, so please don't respond saying "it can't be done."
Thanks!
You can download from bitbucket using either http with URL like this:
http://bitbucket.org/jespern/rewsfeed/get/tip.tar.bz2
Notice how tip can be used in place of a revision ID in that URL form to always get the latest snapshot.
Alternately, you can just install Mercurial in your home directory on the shared web host -- people have succeeded in doing that on almost every webhost out there no matter how locked down they are.
Then you can just do: /home/me/bin hg clone ssh://hg#bitbucket.org/jespern/testrepo ~/public_html
This is probably a simple problem and I'm feeling exceptionally dumb because I can't find a any kind of documentation.
I've just installed TeamCity 5 and I want to get files from my Mercurial hosting and there is two fields I just can't figure out.
HG Command path. What should I put here? The path to a file containing what? Can I get an example of that file somewhere?
The host is using Mercurial over SSH where do I define my private key?
Pull changes from? Should I put the address I'm cloning from i.e. ssh://username#myhost.something/project
I figured this out for my TeamCity 5 server last week.
HG Command path: HG
Pull changes from: https://bitbucket.org/.../.../
Don't put the username# in the URL. This is specificed as in the Username/Password fields. If you include the username in the URL it'll fail as there is a bug in the configuration tool. You'll also see a screenshot of the configuration attached to the thread:
http://www.jetbrains.net/devnet/message/5254640#5254640
I'd suggest getting things working with HTTPS and then moving to SSH if possible. This breaks things down into two easier to solve configuration problems. I used the following tutorial to get SSH going on my Windows client machine.
http://www.codza.com/mercurial-with-ssh-setup-on-windows
I've not set this up on my TeamCity server yet. However I did get TeamCity to pick up my Mercurial.ini settings by putting the ini file in \Documents and Settings\TeamCity, which is the account the service runs under.
I've not used team city, but I think hg command path is probably the full path to your local mercurial executable. For me (on linux) that's:
$ type hg
hg is /usr/bin/hg
On windows it's where the 'hg' executable in your system path was placed by whichever (of the many) windows installers for mercurial you used.
Pull changes from sounds like the URL to the repo, so:
ssh://username#myhost.something/project
or
ssh://username#myhost.something//project # note the _two_ double slashes
if you're using absolute paths on the server side.
Your private key location/specification depends on what you're using for ssh and whether or not you're running ssh-agent, but here's a links that explicitly points from within mercurial.ini, which seems sound:
