npm从私有gitlab安装git + ssh

Question

I have a private Gitlab. There I have a repo which I do git clone from this address: [git@10.15.8.210:8888]:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git

Until node 7.2.1 (npm v3.10.10) I could install like this:

$ npm install git+ssh://[git@10.15.8.210:8888]:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git --save
src@0.0.0 /home/pauloh/src/recsystem-web/src
└── robotRecSystem@1.1.0  (git+ssh://[git@10.15.8.210:8888]:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git#b589aa1d17cb44d5c17e5fd69929a7a8b64c9eba)

But since node 8.9.0 (npm v5.5.1) when I get an error with the same command:

$ npm install git+ssh://[git@10.15.8.210:8888]:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git --save
npm ERR! Error while executing:
npm ERR! /usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t ssh://%5Bgit@10.15.8.210/:8888]:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! ssh: Could not resolve hostname 10.15.8.210/: Name or service not known
npm ERR! fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! Please make sure you have the correct access rights
npm ERR! and the repository exists.
npm ERR! 
npm ERR! exited with error code: 128

npm ERR! A complete log of this run can be found in:
npm ERR!     /home/pauloh/.npm/_logs/2018-07-11T13_00_48_101Z-debug.log

Reading the error, npm fails when calling the command git ls-remote. It tryies this command:

/usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t ssh://%5Bgit@10.15.8.210/:8888]:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git

It would work if I change this command to:

/usr/bin/git ls-remote -h -t [git@10.15.8.210:8888]:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git

So, I think the problems are:

• my url string [git@10.15.8.210:8888]:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git is not a normal url, since it is not a protocol://user@hostname:port/path
• npm is not parsing correctly my url string.
• npm is changing the character [ to %5B and it is not working
• npm is prefixing the protocol ssh:// and it is not working

How could I change my url string to npm parse it correctly?

Answer 1

The brackets in npm install documentation ( https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install )

<protocol>://[<user>[:<password>]@]<hostname>[:<port>][:][/]<path>[#<commit-ish> | #semver:<semver>]

mean only that this part may not be used, not that you have to include the brackets...

Therefore, git+ssh://git@10.15.8.210:8888:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git seems to be what you are looking for.

OR

You can use the definition of GIT_SSH_COMMAND variable to set the port beforehand to eliminate possible problems with the colons:

GIT_SSH_COMMAND='ssh -p 8888' git+ssh://git@10.15.8.210:recsystem/robotRecSystem.git

OR even better

You may define the port in the .ssh/config as described in: https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-configure-custom-connection-options-for-your-ssh-client
