Host key verification failed (gatsby-transformer-gitinfo)

We have a problem when building our website. It has worked flawlessly in the past, but somehow we get problems now. The main issue seems to be with the gatsby-transformer-gitinfo plugin, that somehow seems to not be able to connect to our GitLab repo. A few hints:

  • Building the website locally (using gatsby) works
  • Building and deploying the website locally using netlify-cli also works
  • We tried resetting the deploy keys in GitLab/Netlify but that doesn’t help
  • I am a bit puzzled about that plugin trying to access the remote since netlify already pulls a full (blobless) copy of the repo onto the runner

Any hints?

Thanks

I have posted the required information below.

Hiya,

Thanks for reaching out. Can you checkout this support guide as this should get your sorted?

Let me know if that’s not the case.

3

Thanks for the hint.

  • We have tried most of the hints (except for committing the key directly to the repo, which we don’t want to do for obvious reasons)
  • We’re also surprized since here we’re not trying to access a submodule, just the main repo.
  • As I mentioned it’s also surprizing that the plugin tries to pull from the repo when it’s already available on the runner after Netlify has pulled it.

Not sure how to proceed here.

4

What exactly are you doing during the build that’s requiring Git access?

5

Sorry for the late reply I was on vacation :sunny:

As I mentioned (in my last bullet point of the original post) the gatsby-transformer-gitinfo seems to be making the remote call, but we are not sure why, since the full repo should be available locally on the Netlify runner. We have also opened an issue in the plugin repository if that helps.

Thanks!

6

I’ve commented on that issue.

@pierre-sortdesk, if you manually run the command:

git log <path to any file you're trying to pull stats for>

as a part of your build command… what do you get? Could you try that in a build and share the link?

8

Hey, thanks for following up. We have now tried that, here is the link.

9

We also tried with git show, and surprisingly that gives a Host key verification failed error message (unlike git log above).

We also tried to build Gatsby locally but disabling all our SSH access to the repository beforehand, and that also runs without an issue.

It’s highly confusing but really the Netlify deployment is the only one causing trouble.

11

Thank you for trying that. That’s weird indeed. We’ve asked the devs to check it and we’ll let you know as we have more info.

12

As checked with the devs, this could be something that’s not supported indeed. To increase system security, we’re not setting git credentials globally, instead only for the required operations (us cloning the git repo). To further strengthen the security, we’re possibly making it more difficult to run git operations during the build, so for private repos, this might not be working for long.

13

Thanks for helping out! What is still a mystery to me is why the plugin tries to access the remote instead of the local one. We’ve also tried again with the non-fork version of the repository and it was the same. We will use a runner on our own infrastructure to build the code and then deploy it on Netlify.

14

Yes, that’s the question our devs had too. As long as you do git operations on the locally cloned repo, that should work. Only accessing the remote repo should not be possible.
