Can't cider-jack-in to projects with private git dependencies about cider HOT 7 OPEN

Good point, it's:

Cloning: [email protected]:org/private-repo-name.git

Enter passphrase for key '/home/pavlos/.ssh/id_ed25519': 

Like I said it only appears in the REPL nrepl-server buffer (and it's not interactive)
I've added it to the initial description too

is your expected workflow entering the passphrase each time

I believe that depends on how the ssh agent is set up. So it doesn't happen always (I think) but:

• when ssh-agent needs a passphrase I expect emacs/CIDER to ask for the user input correctly (magit-clone does so, so I assume it's caused by something that happens somewhere between the git and cider abstraction levels)
• when a passphrase isn't necessary, I expect CIDER to be able to clone the repo and then start the REPL (neither happens in my case, CIDER gets stuck "waiting" for user input that will never come).

from cider.

In case anyone else is facing this, here are some workarounds:

1. Spawn a standalone cider/nrepl server and cider-connect to it, as described in the docs
2. Download the dependencies with clojure -P and then rerun cider-jack-in

Hi!

Thanks much for the report.

I'll try to repro it, anyway could you please provide the exact prompt text?

from cider.

Are you able to git-clone the same repo using e.g. Magit?

If not, it could indicate a generalized issue in your Emacs setup, such that ssh-add isn't being correctly invoked.

Example:

[...] You can confirm this by running eval $(ssh-agent); ssh-add ~/.ssh/id_rsa in a terminal, and then in the same terminal emacs &.

That solution isn't exactly ergonomic, but it would be a start.

Please try that specific approach for CIDER and/or Magit, allowing us to discard hypotheses.

Thanks - V

Are you able to git-clone the same repo using e.g. Magit?

Yes! If I delete the cache from .gitlibs and run magit-clone directly I get the correct prompt (same message but interactive)

Thanks!

To be clear, is your expected workflow entering the passphrase each time? It would make sense, although perhaps in your terminal emulator you don't have to?
