how do I configure tortoisehg to work with mutliple repos? - mercurial

I've been using tortoisehg to work with a repo using ssh and everything is in order. But now i'm trying to clone another repo that uses only https, and I'm welcomed with the following error message:
URLError: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
[command returned code 255. . .]
I tried to localized the settings of my current repo, i.e. remove them from global settings, to ...\.hg\hgrc, but i still get the same error when i try to clone.
Any ideas on this?

A bit late response but perhaps its a proxy error...
see:
How to clone a codeplex mercurial repository behind a proxy?
but instead use
[https_proxy]
host = proxy name / ip:port
user = xxxxxxx
passwd = xxxxxxx

How do you specify authentication information for Mercurial as part of Jenkins? (mercurial_keyring)

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

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.

hg doesn't connect to bitbucket using a custom key

On my computer I have
.ssh/config:
Host bitbucket
HostName bitbucket.org
User hg
IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa_pwd
.hg/hgrc
[paths]
default = ssh://hg#bitbucket.org/lohoris/varlibs
(running OSX 10.6)
I have exactly the same files on a debian server, but while "trying" a shell login works on both:
PTY allocation request failed on channel 0
conq: logged in as lohoris.
You can use git or hg to connect to Bitbucket. Shell access is disabled.
Connection to bitbucket.org closed.
mercurial connection only works on my computer, while from the server it refuses to cooperate:
lohoris#office:~/www/varlibs$ hg pull
remote: Permission denied (publickey).
abort: no suitable response from remote hg!
This is the same message you get when the key is wrong, only it is not wrong of course (as I said, trying a ssh bitbucket does work).
It is likely using the wrong key, since it's not even trying to ask me the passphrase, but I can't fathom why.
If you get “Permission denied (publickey)”, it just means that the public key required to access and push to the server cannot be found. To get around this you’re going to run the following commands:
ssh-agent
ssh-add <full path to your key file>
Troubleshooting SSH Issues
Set up SSH for Git and Mercurial (Mac OSX/Linux)
ssh -T hg#bitbucket.org also is good and fast ssh-debugger
In your path, you should use ssh://bitbucket/lohoris/varlibs, not ssh://hg#bitbucket.org/lohoris/varlibs.

Configuration for using Mercurial with Bitbucket from behind a certificate rewriting proxy?

I'm trying to access BitBucket from work. The only access to the Internet is via an authenticating HTTP proxy which proxies http on port 8080 and SSL on port 8070. This proxy conducts a man-in-the-middle attack on SSL connections, browsers are able to create HTTPS connections to the Internet only due to the installation of a fake Websense certificate on all clients.
I am able to connect to BitBucket using Git but not using Mercurial. I'm using Mercurial version 2.0.2.
With Git I use the following config in .gitconfig
[user]
name = Firstname Lastname
email = firstname_lastname#domain.co.uk
[http]
proxy = http://name:password#nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:8080
And can clone a repository with the following command
D:\MercurialTesting>git clone http://Firstname_Lastname#bitbucket.org/Firstname_Lastname/bb102repo.git test1
Cloning into 'test1'...
Password for 'bitbucket.org':
remote: Counting objects: 3, done.
remote: Total 3 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
D:\MercurialTesting>
With the addition of this config setting
[http]
sslverify = false
I can also clone the repository via the https url https://Firstname_Lastname#bitbucket.org/Firstname_Lastname/bb102repo.git
Using Mercurial though it's a different story. Using the following config in mercurial.ini
[http_proxy]
host = nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:8080
user = firstname_lastname#domain.co.uk
passwd = password
Mercurial will access my own Mercurial server at home no problem.
D:\MercurialTesting>hg --debug clone http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/hg/Workspaces/Test1
using http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn/hg/Workspaces/Test1
proxying through http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:8080
sending capabilities command

adding changesets
changesets: 1 chunks
add changeset 711ff2c6f5b2
changesets: 2 chunks
add changeset 9034b963b4c1
. . .
Using the exact same configuration and trying to access BitBucket through Mercurial just hangs.
D:\MercurialTesting>hg --debug clone http://bitbucket.org/Firstname_Lastname/bb101repo
using http://bitbucket.org/Firstname_Lastname/bb101repo
proxying through http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:8080
sending capabilities command
abort: error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
D:\MercurialTesting>
Using the same configuration with SSL via the url https://bitbucket.org/Firstname_Lastname/bb101repo Mercurial hangs in exactly the same way. During this process Wireshark detects no network activity at all.
Changing the settings in Mercurial.ini to match the port which the proxy serves SSL through has no effect. Setting the environment variable http_proxy makes no difference, but setting the environment variable https_proxy changes the output completely. Setting https_proxy and adding --insecure to the hg command invocation results in:
D:\MercurialTesting>hg --debug clone http://bitbucket.org/Firstname_Lastname/bb101repo --insecure
using http://bitbucket.org/Firstname_Lastname/bb101repo
proxying through http://nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn:8080

abort: HTTP Error 502: Success
D:\MercurialTesting>
And now Wireshark does detect an exchange taking place between my workstation and the proxy server. What I find most confusing though is that it doesn't make the slightest difference what I set https_proxy to, hg always uses the http proxy setting from Mercurial.ini and produces the same output above irrespective of whether I set https_proxy to the correct details for the SSL proxy or to complete garbage. The only difference is that if the environment variable https_proxy isn't set at all then hg just hangs as described above.
The formats for https_proxy I've tried include all variations of:
https_proxy=ip.ip.ip.ip:8070
https_proxy=ip.ip.ip.ip:8080
https_proxy=username:password#ip.ip.ip.ip:8070
https_proxy=username:password#ip.ip.ip.ip:8080
https_proxy=http://ip.ip.ip.ip:8070
https_proxy=http://ip.ip.ip.ip:8080
https_proxy=http://username:password#ip.ip.ip.ip:8070
https_proxy=http://username:password#ip.ip.ip.ip:8080
The results are the same no matter what I set it to.
So the questions I could really use some help with are:
How come I can access my Mercurial repositories at home but not at BitBucket?
How come I can access BitBucket with Git but not with Mercurial using the same configuration?
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can get this to work or what I can test next?
I am also connecting via proxy to bitbucket. As my settings didn't work as expected I found this SO entry.
I noticed that if I use command line parameters then everything works.
hg --config http_proxy.host=192.168.1.1:8080 --config http_proxy.user=Vad1mo --config http_proxy.passwd=secret clone https://bitbucket.org/Vadimo/test
On the other hand same entries in Mercurial.ini didn't work.
[http_proxy]
host = 192.168.1.1
port = 8080
user = Vad1mo
passwd = internet
By accident I found out the tiny difference between CMD and ini. In CMD the port is postfixed to the host. In ini file it is a new entry.
Changing mercurial.ini to postfix the port to host like on command line solved the problem.
[http_proxy]
host = 192.168.1.1:8080
;port = 8080
user = Vad1mo
passwd = internet
Maybe this also will help you.
btw. my hg version is 2.6.3
I ran into a similar problem with my work's proxy- actually, almost identical.
I've gotten around the problem so far by setting the http_proxy in mercurial.ini and then connecting to BitBucket via their HTTP address hg.io.
For example, my repository at https://bitbucket.org/mattgwagner/mattgwagner.com can be accessed via http://hg.io/mattgwagner/mattgwagner.com . Of course, this will send your password and connection in plaintext, but at least it let me connect.
This came in more use for me when pulling in open source projects hosted on BitBucket for my use.
Mercurial.ini
[http_proxy]
host = 192.168.1.155:8080
no =
user = domainUsername
passwd = pass
Are you able to ssh out? Bitbucket supports ssh access and your proxy won't muck w/ that if it's allowed.

Mercurial ignoring http_proxy settings

I try to connect to a mercurial alias called 'thuis' throughan http proxy. I tried setting the proxy setting in the .hgrc repo config and in the main config via tortoisehg. With both methods I get an abort error:
abort: error: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it
Even using the following construct didn't work:
hg --config http_proxy.host=10.192.132.191:5865 --config http_proxy.always=true incoming thuis
If I look with MS network monitor I see that hg directly tries to connect to 'thuis' and not to the proxy at 10.192.132.191

How to setup Authorization Hudson /Jenkins to clone your mercurial repository

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:
