Hello, I hope this is the correct place to ask my question and that I can get some help from the community. I have an intermittent issue and can’t pinpoint where the issues is. In short, I’m running a few multi-branch pipelines that are activated via a WebHook from GitHub. I have configured a GitHub App, which activates the WebHook for the connected projects. In Jenkins, I have added the necessary credentials and everything works great…then it doesn’t. Every now and then I get an “Invalid username or password” error with a status code of 128. The interesting thing is (and you’ll see this in the logs below) that the connection to GitHub is fine because it successfully downloads the Jenkinsfiles. When it does fail, I can immediately re-run the job and it works perfectly. This will continue to work perfectly until a few hours later when it will fail again. This more often than not fails on new branches. I created a test app in GitHub and hooked it up to Jenkins and it failed. Here is the output from the log (I have redacted some info I believe to be private with \*\*\*\*\*): ```auto Push event to branch main 11:04:31 Connecting to https://api.github.com using ******/****** (GitHub App: jenkins-app-credentials) Obtained Jenkinsfile from ***** [Pipeline] Start of Pipeline [Pipeline] node Running on ***** in E:\tools\jenkins-agent\workspace\Test_Multibranch_Pipeline_main [Pipeline] { [Pipeline] stage [Pipeline] { (Declarative: Checkout SCM) [Pipeline] checkout The recommended git tool is: NONE using credential jenkins-app-credentials Cloning the remote Git repository Cloning with configured refspecs honoured and without tags Cloning repository https://github.com/ ***** /TestRepo.git > git.exe init E:\tools\jenkins-agent\workspace\Test_Multibranch_Pipeline_main # timeout=10 Fetching upstream changes from https://github.com/ ***** /TestRepo.git > git.exe --version # timeout=10 > git --version # 'git version 2.43.0.windows.1' using GIT_ASKPASS to set credentials GitHub App: jenkins-app-credentials > git.exe fetch --no-tags --force --progress -- https://github.com/ ***** /TestRepo.git +refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main # timeout=10 ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin' hudson.plugins.git.GitException: Command "git.exe fetch --no-tags --force --progress -- https://github.com/ ***** /TestRepo.git +refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main" returned status code 128: stdout: stderr: remote: Invalid username or password. fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://github.com/ ***** /TestRepo.git/' at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandIn(CliGitAPIImpl.java:2842) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl.launchCommandWithCredentials(CliGitAPIImpl.java:2185) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$1.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:635) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.CliGitAPIImpl$2.execute(CliGitAPIImpl.java:871) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.RemoteGitImpl$CommandInvocationHandler$GitCommandMasterToSlaveCallable.call(RemoteGitImpl.java:170) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.RemoteGitImpl$CommandInvocationHandler$GitCommandMasterToSlaveCallable.call(RemoteGitImpl.java:161) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest.perform(UserRequest.java:211) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest.perform(UserRequest.java:54) at hudson.remoting.Request$2.run(Request.java:377) at hudson.remoting.InterceptingExecutorService.lambda$wrap$0(InterceptingExecutorService.java:78) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1136) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:635) at hudson.remoting.Engine$1.lambda$newThread$0(Engine.java:125) at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:842) Suppressed: hudson.remoting.Channel$CallSiteStackTrace: Remote call to web-test-104 at hudson.remoting.Channel.attachCallSiteStackTrace(Channel.java:1787) at hudson.remoting.UserRequest$ExceptionResponse.retrieve(UserRequest.java:356) at hudson.remoting.Channel.call(Channel.java:1003) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.RemoteGitImpl$CommandInvocationHandler.execute(RemoteGitImpl.java:153) at jdk.internal.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor762.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:568) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.gitclient.RemoteGitImpl$CommandInvocationHandler.invoke(RemoteGitImpl.java:138) at jdk.proxy52/jdk.proxy52.$Proxy143.execute(Unknown Source) at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.retrieveChanges(GitSCM.java:1222) at hudson.plugins.git.GitSCM.checkout(GitSCM.java:1305) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.scm.SCMStep.checkout(SCMStep.java:129) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.scm.SCMStep$StepExecutionImpl.run(SCMStep.java:97) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.scm.SCMStep$StepExecutionImpl.run(SCMStep.java:84) at org.jenkinsci.plugins.workflow.steps.SynchronousNonBlockingStepExecution.lambda$start$0(SynchronousNonBlockingStepExecution.java:47) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter.call(Executors.java:539) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:264) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:1136) at java.base/java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:635) ... 1 more [Pipeline] } [Pipeline] // stage [Pipeline] } [Pipeline] // node [Pipeline] End of Pipeline ERROR: Error cloning remote repo 'origin' GitHub has been notified of this commit’s build result Finished: FAILURE ``` As you can see from the above log, it has successfully downloaded the Jenkinsfile, however I get an “Invalid username or password” and the rest fails.

Any help you can provide will be valuable and very much appreciated.

Hello @lgiff and welcome to this community. 👋 I don’t see anything in your setup that could be the cause of the issue you’re facing. 🤔 There might be a network issue that is causing intermittent failures. You could check the network logs to see if there are any connectivity issues. 🤷 ---

Good suggestion, it could be network related, but I would have expected a different error such as a timeout. This node is running on an older server so I will set up another node on a different network to see if that at least solves the issue. If the new node doesn’t have any issues, that’ll mean it’s likely a network issue or something to do with the node itself. ---

FYI - I set up a new node and couldn’t get it to fail. I don’t know however if this is just a coincidence or the node is working better. I set up Wireshark on the node that is failing intermittently and it started working, without fail, every single time!! Even if it did fail, I don’t know anything about how to analyze a Wireshark log anyway. The thing about the failing build is that it is failing before it runs the Jenkinsfile script. This is the process of the pipeline where it checks out the code from GitHub. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be any options to retry on fail or extend the timeout from the default 10 seconds. **If anyone knows how retry the checkout on fail, please let me know.** I have a feeling this might be an issue with the multi-branch pipeline plugin but it’s difficult to prove when I can’t consistently get the build to fail. I might have to get our IT to build a new server for me, but will be embarrassing if it continues to fail on the new server. ---

I have been experiencing the exact same issue and scenario. Having the checkout retry should be an option. This plugin has no fallback options if it fails ---

I’ve given up finding a solution. My workaround is email notifications if it fails so at least I can kick off a retry manually. ---

Do you find another solution? I have a better workaround. In my case I’m running simple job with echo twice per hour to renew token (1,2 \* \* \* \*). This job fail once, update the token and second time work without problems. In that case I have updated token most of the time. Maybe there is some permanent solution? ---

The permanent solution for me was: Go to the windows node and change default gitconfig file. It is located inside C:\Program Files\Git\etc\gitconfig I just comment [credential] section and it is helps. Most probably windows node cached the token and try to reuse it next time. If you have more information feel free to share! ---

Reviving this thread since we’re getting hit by this on new builds daily. I see a lot of people have this issue but there’s no reliable solution I can find. Is there newer information on this? As everyone, I have a Github App credential that works fine, but jobs occasionally fail with the “stderr: remote: Invalid username or token. Password authentication is not supported for Git operations.” error. ---

Using GitHub app in this manner for the first time. Also seeing this. I know to use an app outside of Jenkins, you need to manage a generated temp token. I suspect that is all handled under the covers by Jenkins. I am guessing there is latency somewhere. The token isn’t coming back fast enough before Jenkins tries to use it. Or maybe the previous temp token is cached and mistakenly tried first? ---

FWIW - we found in our case, there was a definite pattern of failure after an idle time - e.g.; one hour. We saw this in both freestyle and declarative pipeline. This led us to believe there is a token cached and reused the first time, after its expiration. In declarative pipeline, we used a try/catch, the catch attempts the checkout again. This seems to work. Ugly workaround and not a fix. Still unsure what to do for a freestyle build. Our scripted pipelines did not seem to run into this. ---

I might have a solution to this. I set my agent to do some work in Jenkins and during that process it hit the same issue a few times and decided on its own to go and fix the problem. I asked what it did to resolve the problem and this was its response: Verified script for the stale GitHub token on a Jenkins Windows agent. Open Manage Jenkins, Nodes, pick the agent, then Script Console (the URL is /computer//script), paste this and run it: ```auto def run = { c -> def p = \["cmd", "/c", c\].execute() def out = new StringBuffer(), err = new StringBuffer() p.waitForProcessOutput(out, err) println(out.toString() + err.toString()) } run('git config --global credential.helper ""') run("cmdkey /delete:git:https://github.com") run("git config --show-origin --get-all credential.helper") run("cmdkey /list | findstr /i github") ``` Problem solved? So far I haven’t hit the issue again 😉
