I have been successfully using Julia 0.4 from behind corporate proxy. Just trying to upgrade to Julia 0.5 but Pkg() commands fail: julia> Pkg.init() INFO: Initializing package repository C:\Users\plowman\.julia\v0.5 INFO: Cloning METADATA from https://github.com/JuliaLang/METADATA.jl ERROR: GitErr…

I think the libgit2 version included in 0.5 just missed the libgit2 commit adding support for parsing credentials from .gitconfig. So there’s a fairly good chance this will work on master/0.6.

Just clarifying what works for me now: For v0.4, I have .gitconfig in user directory. For v0.5, I need to remove .gitconfig (so I don’t know where proxy info is coming from in this case, but having .gitconfig produces error as in previous post)

[image] greg_plowman: For v0.5, I need to remove .gitconfig (so I don’t know where proxy info is coming from in this case, but having .gitconfig produces error as in previous post) Strange, on Windows 7 I had to put a manually created .gitconfig in C:\Users\USERNAME and only then it worked. E…

I’m getting the exact same error, also on windows 7. Tried with and without .gitconfig files in ~ (H:/), as well as c:/Users/[user], and c:/opt/julia/. When I use command line, I can git clone just fine (proxy details in config file). But libgit2 isn’t grabbing the proxy info like it should. What to…

On Windows 7, it seemed to me the .gitconfig worked. Are you sure it’s in the correct user home dir (C:/Users/Username by default) and that it is really .gitconfig and not .gitconfig.txt (like I managed to do on my first attempt)?

I’ve tried a few different places, including c:/Users/user, as well as H:/, which is where the command defaults to when I type cd ~ in command line. H is actually a network drive, setup as default home drive for my user on corporate network. Maybe that is contributing to the problem?

bump…anyone able to replicate / have any further ideas? Would be nice if you could do something like cygwin, eg “Copy Proxy Settings from Internet Explorer”

For me .gitconfig in the home directory works on the win7 machine at work, but it has a local home directory. One possibility I see is that libgit2 doesn’t read a .gitconfig on a network drive, but I found no confirmation about that on the web. I agree that the proper solution for this is to read sy…

i have determined that libgit2 is looking at the config files in c:/Users/user and in c:/ProgramData/Git; when I make incorrectly formatted edits in text editor, I get a different error with Pkg.init() (failed to parse file…). What then is causing errors with proxy in libgit? possibly another gitc…

I think libgit2 might not parse user credentials in the proxy setting properly. Specifying username and password does not work for me on Julia v0.5 (libgit2). It did work on Julia v0.4 (git). proxy = http://username:password@server:port results in the following error on Julia v0.5: ERROR: GitErr…

Ok, so I wait for the new version. Nevertheless - since this is a discussion group - I’m a little bit disappointed, that something this essential and important causes so much errors (if I follow the google hits). Especially when Julia is installed out of the box without any modification. Since the e…
