Problems resolving dependencies in private repository

[jnehring]

Hey there,

this seems to be a great plugin but I have a problem using it. Im trying to use it with a private organization account. I have two project A and B. Project A is deployed via github maven on the server, that works fine. Project B has a dependency on project A. Therefore I have configured the GitHub repository in project B pom.xml like this

<repository>
    <id>github</id>
    <url>https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ORGANIZATION/REPOSITORY/BRANCH</url>
    <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
    </snapshots>
</repository>

my maven settings.xml has the credentials to this repo. I get the following error when trying to do mvn install on project B (I removed hints to my project from the URLs):

Downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/.../0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml
Downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.pom
[WARNING] The POM for ...0.0.1-SNAPSHOT is missing, no dependency information available
Downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...0.0.1-SNAPSHOT/conversion-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar

and then

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project Broker: Could not resolve dependencies
 for project ...:0.0.1-Snapshot: Could not find artifact ...:jar:0.0.1-SNAPSHOT in github 
(https://raw.githubusercontent.com/...) -> [Help 1]

When I check the URLs that maven tries to download I can see that the required access token / credentials are not attached to the URL.

So my question: How can I use this plugin together with a private repository?

I am facing the same issue. Any update on this? I tested by creating a public repository, and it works fine.

By applying the same approach, I can push and deploy to my company's repository. However, the other project which depends on this has trouble to get the jar.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

We're facing the same issue and the one thing that becomes clear is that the initial
Downloading: https://raw.github.com/MyOrganization/MyProject/mvn-repo/com/company/CommonLibraries/0.1.4-SNAPSHOT/maven-metadata.xml
already does not succeed. This is visible by adding -X to the command.

Following the steps in the accepted answer to (including comments) does not seem to work for me, did everyone else try that route?

We got a message from GitHub support after telling them what URLs were being hit (see above):

Raw URLs are not designed to be used this way. You should use the URL of a published release asset file rather than GitHub Raw URLs.

So I guess the approach for this plugin should change...

Is there any update? I'm having the same issues with github enterprise

I'm also facing the same issue. Does anybody found any solution for this?

I could solve it adding username and token as headers:
On settings.xml I have this:

<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>github</id>
      <username>{{github username}}</username>
      <password>{{github access token}}</password>
      <configuration>
        <httpHeaders>
          <property>
            <name>Authorization</name>
            <!-- Base64-encoded username:access_token -->
            <value>Basic {{base64 encoded content}}==</value>
          </property>
        </httpHeaders>
      </configuration>
    </server>
  </servers>

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>github</id>
      <name>github</name>
      <!-- It's important to have the raw subdomain -->
      <url>{{raw_url_on_github}}</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
</settings>

Something silly I was doing is that I was confusing the SNAPSHOT version, but that was my mistake.

Hey guys, comment above didn't work for me. For some reason Maven wasn't sending the defined headers. Then I accidentally found that different structure for header definition works. Maybe it can be useful for somebody :) My Maven version is 3.6.1.

<configuration>
    <httpHeaders>
        <!-- Base64-encoded username:access_token -->
        <authorization>Basic {{base64 encoded content}} </authorization>
    </httpHeaders>
</configuration>
