Has anybody else had an issue with the new Intellij HG4IDEA not working in Windows? Whenever I try to pull from a remote repository it just hangs, never asking for my ssh username/password.
My initial thought was that I should set my username/password in mercurial.ini somehow.
It just sits like this indefinably, if I try to cancel it it will not stop.
You need to configure it to work with your keys without password or
use ssh client that is able to ask password in a dialog window, like
TortoisePlink.exe.
When using console SSH client, there is no way for IDEA to see if it's
requesting passwords and provide them (it's just not supported, so ssh
client must either work without asking anything in the console or ask
a password via dialog).

In order to get Intellij 10 to work with hg4idea I just changed my mercurial.ini file in my user directory of windows.
# Generated by TortoiseHg setting dialog
[extensions]
hgext.convert=
[ui]
username = myusername
[trusted]
users = *
groups = *
[ui]
ssh="C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\bin\TortoisePlink.exe"
The key was to set ssh= to a client that supports prompting for passwords.

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.
Can I save a username/password pair for an ftp server in some local configuration file, so that lftp will find them automatically when connecting to that server?
Background: I have script which will be used by multiple users, with different username/password pairs, to sync some generated content from a repository to an ftp server. It would be nice not to have to enter our usernames/passwords by hand each time. Since ftp passwords are sent in cleartext, we are all using low-value passwords for this, so storing the passwords in cleartext in a local config file is acceptable.
You can use ~/.netrc file or lftp bookmarks.
Add something like this to ~/.netrc:
machine your.server.example.com login your_login password your_password
Then lftp will pick the password when opening ftp://your_login#your.server.example.com, and it will use your_login automatically when opening "your.server.example.com" without the URL syntax.
When using bookmarks, do "set bmk:save-passwords true" (default is false), then save the current session to bookmarks under a name, then "open bookmark_name" will use the login/password pair. The bookmarks file is plain text, so you can even add the URL with login/password by any text editor. To use a common bookmarks for all users set LFTP_HOME environment variable to a common directory.
Just some more details about lftp bookmarks:
First add line set bmk:save-passwords yes to the main lftp config file /etc/lftp.conf.
Now every user can add his own bookmark:
lftp -c "bookmark add SiteName ftp://user:password#sitename.com/path"
When using lftp in a script just use: lftp -c "open SiteName && lcd MyLocalDir && mput ./"*
So I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 on VirtualBox via Vagrant, and want to set up Mercurial so that it doesn't constantly ask for a password when pulling latest. In that regard, I've installed Mercurial-Keyring, and changed my ~/.hgrc file to look like:
[extensions]
mercurial_keyring =
[auth]
ono.schemes = https
ono.prefix = <URL>
ono.username = <username>
However, now it asks me to enter a password for the encrypted keyring every time I want to use Mercurial - even on the same session.
Does anyone know what the cause of this is?
I have a team set up on bitbucket with multiple users, and I'm using the keyring extension for mercurial. I need to set up a subrepo, and in the .hgsub file I need to provide the url for the subrepo.
If I use https://bitbucket.org/team/subrepo then the user needs to authenticate each time they try to pull.
If I use https://userX.bitbucket.org/team/subrepo then each user will need to authenticate with userX's password.
If I use https://team.bitbucket.org/team/subrepo then each user will need the team's password.
Is there a way I can set it up so that the authentication can be saved using the keyring extension, but still have separate credentials for each user, without using ssh?
Yes, you can enter your authentication information into your config file. The documentation for this is here.
In the auth section of each user's config file you can enter the following details:
[auth]
bb.schemes = http https
bb.prefix = bitbucket.org/team
bb.username = userX
The bb part is just a tag to group the settings together - you can use what you like and you can have more than one set if you have more than one Mercurial server that you use.
The example settings say that all repositories that start http://bitbucket.org/team or https://bitbucket.org/team should use the username of userX. The keyring extension will take care of the password after that.
Is there a way to configure TortoiseHg to store my password?
I have a project hosted on Google Code that I access using TortoiseHg. Whenever I want to push changes to Google Code TortoiseHg prompts me for a username and password. Google Code requires me to use an auto-generated password, and it gets quite repetitive to look it up every time.
Both existing answers suggest storing your username and password unencrypted in plain-text, which is a bit of a no-no.
You should use the Keyring extension instead, as it has been specifically designed for securely saving authentication passwords. It already comes bundled with TortoiseHg, so all you have to do is activate it by writing the following in your mercurial.ini file:
[extensions]
mercurial_keyring=
You will also have to associate your username with the push url by editing your repository-specific .hg\hgrc file like in the example below:
[paths]
default = https://<your_username>#bitbucket.org/tortoisehg/thg
For more details on associating your username with the url, see the Repository Configuration (SMTP) section of the Keyring extension page.
Three steps, watch screenshot.
Note: This stores your password in plaintext.
Security warning
Although this answer is accepted as of 2017-09-15, it is not a recommended solution. You should never store your passwords in plain text. Use the mercurial_keyring extension instead. See another answer here.
You can change your push URL to https://username:password#hostname.com/repo.
This is explained in Google Code's and Mercurial's FAQs.
EDIT: Mercurial FAQ explains another way to do it:
With Mercurial 1.3 you can also add an auth section to your hgrc file:
[auth]
example.prefix = https://hg.example.net/
example.username = foo
example.password = bar
If you want to configure it via TortoiseHg, Repository Setting dialog is available.
After opening the dialog, please switch to 'Sync' tab.
You can add a path with HTTPS auth information.
http://tortoisehg.bitbucket.io/manual/2.9/settings.html#module-web.settings
Simply modify the hgrc file in the .hg directory of your local repository so it looks like this:
[paths]
default = https://name:password#yourproj.googlecode.com/hg/
where name is your Google Code login without the gmail/googlemail bit e.g. 'fredb' (not fredb#gmail.com), password is the Google-generated password, and yourproj is the name of your GC project. So something like:
default = https://fred:xyz123#fredproj.googlecode.com/hg/
This works for me using SSH. I know the password it's in text plain, but this is not a problem in this project.
You have to change myUser and MyOPas for your credentials and the path to: TortoisePlink.exe.
Edit the mercurial.ini
[reviewboard]
password = myPass
[ui]
username = myUser
ssh = "C:\Program Files\TortoiseHg\lib\TortoisePlink.exe" -l myUser -pw myPass
If you want to store the password in mercurial.ini and it doesn't work anymore after you upgrade to TortoiseHg 4.9 or higher a possible solution is to add the port to the prefix:
[auth]
tax.prefix = http://server:8080
tax.username = cerveser
tax.password = mypassword
