Curious if global git config settings are used during builds? Working with a go project that has a dependency to a private github repo. Following these go docs for git+https but still seeing an authentication error when packaging with pants.

Does the authentication require the presence of environment variables?

I don't believe it does just global config setting

Is

go

supposed to look in

$HOME/.netrc

for the password?

I think that's their recommendations on how to configure git nothin go searches for itself. I'll continue debugging this and report here if I find anything

At least for

.netrc

, that impacts Go’s ability to find

.netrc

or

.gitconfig

. Specifically because

os.UserHomeDir

looks for the

HOME

environment variable. https://github.com/golang/go/blob/740b0ebb76c4cb6788eb03be683650938a7f5897/src/os/file.go#L500 And the netrc code in

go

uses that call. Haven’t looked at

git

source yet, but I can imagine it is similar. Try setting

--subprocess-environment-env-vars

to include

HOME

to pass it through to the execution sandbox.

ahh got it yeah tried setting that setting but still seeing the permission issue

pants uses

go mod download

to download modules and not

go get

. maybe that makes a difference?

hmm I'm not sure both pass as expected but get different results running with pants. I also tried setting .netrc with the subprocess env vars no luck yet. I've used pants with a private pypi for python, this is the first with private github repos and go.

oh I think this is older thread sorry

ah will re-post link there

haaha yeah my apologies for the confusion
