git push issue

[stephenmeehanuk]

Hi

Occasionally git push will stop working, and I'm not entirely sure why?

Setup

• My site is hosted on Digital Ocean and I'm using Ploi to mange it
• I'm using Redis, Horizon and an artisan horizon daemon process
• Statamic Git integration has been configured, and when it works, it's a brilliant workflow
• My deploy script ends with this php artisan horizon:terminate

The problem

git push sometimes stops working? I ssh into the staging server and I run git status I see this message

Your branch is ahead of 'origin/staging' by X commits.

If I try to manually git push I see this message

remote: Invalid credentials
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https:..

Even though the credentials usually do work… Statamic happily pushes commits to origin/staging when it works.

This problem seems to happen when I've not pushed any local commits to origin/staging for a while, I ran into this issue yesterday (about 12 hours ago).

I have a feeling the issue might be related to Redis and Horizon. I have to admit I don't know enough about the inner workings of this to know for sure.

• There's no errors in daemon log
• Commits are made in Statamic, they're just not always pushed to origin/staging

Temporary fix

This is my process for temporarily fixing it

• ssh into server
• Check the origin path: git remote -v
• It's always set to https
• I change it to ssh
• git push now works in the terminal and changes made in Statamic are being pushed as expected.

I’m not sure what’s happening behind the scenes when I change the origin path, as when I use the deploy script in Ploi, the origin path reverts back to https. So perhaps the origin path isn’t related to this issue.

Something is forgetting or ignoring the credentials, as they work one day and not the other?

Open to suggestions!

Hmm, this is out of scope for Statamic, and more of a Github auth + Ploi thing, but maybe you can...

• Edit your deploy script to clone the repo using ssh instead of http?
• Or add a post-deploy hook to change it to ssh after the clone happens under the hood?
