Using private Julia package SSH fails

[markNZed]

There seems to be a bunch of issues with Julia and SSH with private packages. I'm not sure if the issues I'm seeing are specific to PythonCall. The error I'm seeing is

┌ Error: Error loading PythonCall.jl
│   err = failed to clone from user@domain.com:2255/repos/ARTime.git, error: GitError(Code:ERROR, Class:SSH, Failed to retrieve list of SSH authentication methods: Failed getting response)

I'm not using the default .ssh/id_rsa so I enter the path to the private key when prompted. I can clone the repository using git outside of PythonCall using the SSH key.

Is the URL definitely correct? The convention is to use the suffix .jl on Julia package repos.

Otherwise try adding the package from the Julia REPL to see if it is an issue with PythonCall (I doubt it is).

You are right that it is not PythonCall. I could reproduce the problem in the REPL. Sorry for not trying that and thanks for the suggestion. I created the repo before I learnt of the .jl convention and I think the URL is correct. The Julia creators must own GitHub stock ;)

It seems there is an issue with a non-standard SSH port. The message in the REPL has swapped : for /

(@v1.7) pkg> add user@domain:2222/git-server/repos/ARTime.git
     Cloning git-repo `ssh://user@domain/2222/git-server/repos/ARTime.git`

I was using:

Pkg.setprotocol!(domain = "domain", protocol = "ssh")

It started working with:

(@v1.7) pkg> add ssh://user@domain:2222/git-server/repos/ARTime.git

Great glad it's working. If you think that's a bug in Julia, report it over on the Julia repo.

I created JuliaLang/Pkg.jl#2894
