SSH-Agent build feature, can not find file
Hello,
I am currently having a bit of a problem using the SSH agent Build feature to push a tag into a git repository.
What we want to accomplish is the following:
- Check out a maven based java repository from out server
- Start the Build and use the pme tool to adjust the version in some poms
- Publish the artifacts
- Create a tag of the version and push the tag to the server via a build script
After having setup everything, all steps except for step 4. worked. Now this was because the ssh-key used to clone the git repo was not available for the build script. Having read about the SSH agent build feature, I thought it would just as easy to add this build feature and have it use the same ssh-key.
However, as soon as I added the step, the first build step already fails because the ssh-agent can not find a file, which I am assuming is the ssh-key. Having also read the SSH key management, it states that the key is deleted after a fetch/clone of the git repo. Does this somehow affect the problem ?
[Step 1/1] Failed to start SSH Agent

Any help regarding this problem would be much appreciated.

Okay so there as a very simple problem why this did not work, we forgot the restart the build agent after adding the path to the ssh-agent. After restarting the build agent the feature works as intended.
