Mercurial with username and password
We've switched our JGraLab repository from SVN to Mercurial. Now I wanted to add a new enlistment, but our mercurial repository requires a username/password (anonymous/secret) for accessing the repository, and the enlistment wizard doesn't seem to allow for authentication...
Is that true? Or can I encode the user/password somehow into the repository URL?
Well, I've tried
https://anonymous:[email protected]/ist/jgralab
but then the enlistment wizard tells me The URL does not appear to be a valid server connection string.
But hg id https://anonymous:[email protected]/ist/jgralab
works just fine, and is a valid repo URL explicitly described by hg help urls
.
Maybe the wizard is a bit too picky?
Hello
Username and passwords for mercurial currently are not supported.
We are looking into adding support for this in the future (Back in December I created a ticket on our side in the Feature Backlog for this feature)
Hi Robert,
yes, I can see that it is not supported. But what's the big deal with it? Mercurial can easily handle URLs where the user/password are encoded within, like
hg clone https://user:[email protected]/myproject
So it looks to me as if only the web interface was too picky about what it consideres a valid URL.
Is there any progress on this, or a work-around? I'm using RhodeCode for a repository manager, having switched from Subversion. I just went to update my enlistments and hit this error because RhodeCode needs default:default
as the username/password.
Thanks.
Any good news about this feature ?
