I am trying to set up an iOS project on Travis-CI for the first time, and I am having trouble getting travis to add a private pod-spec repo.

I've got a before-script that runs this command:

- gem install cocoapods
- pod repo add MyPrivate-Repo git@github.com:myAccount/MyPrivate-Repo.git
...

However, I am getting this error when travis tries to add my private pod spec repo

Cloning spec repo `MyPrivate-Repo` from `git@github.com:myAccount/MyPrivate-Repo.git`

[!] Pod::Executable clone 'git@github.com:myAccount/MyPrivate-Repo.git' MyPrivate-Repo

Cloning into 'MyPrivate-Repo'...

ERROR: Repository not found.

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Please make sure you have the correct access rights and the repository exists.

Now i am very new to this so apologies if I am missing something obvious here.

I am sure that the repository does indeed exist, I tested that by performing a 

git clone git@github.com:myAccount/MyPrivate-Repo.git

on my local machine. So that means access rights I assume. How do I go about checking the access rights for that? Travis seems to work fine cloning other repos within the same organization? Any help much appreciated!!

It works on your machine, because ssh knows where tyo look for your public/private ssh keys.

But you need to add those keys (or, even better, add a new public/ssh key dedicated to your travis config) to Travis, in order for that environment to be able to authenticate and access your private repo.

See Pushing to github from travis-ci.

Note that you can use travis encrypt in .travis.yml file as in this gist from Luke Patterson (lukewpatterson).

To encrypt the private SSH key into the "-secure: xxxxx....." lines to place in the .travis.yml file, generate a deploy key then run: (to see what the encrypted data looks like, see an example in this .travis.yml.

base64 --wrap=0 ~/.ssh/id_rsa > ~/.ssh/id_rsa_base64
ENCRYPTION_FILTER="echo \$(echo \"-\")\$(travis encrypt veewee-community/veewee-push \"\$FILE='\`cat $FILE\`'\" | grep secure:)"
split --bytes=100 --numeric-suffixes --suffix-length=2 --filter="$ENCRYPTION_FILTER" ~/.ssh/id_rsa_base64 id_rsa_

Ha! it takes 30 lines to squeeze it all in.

That gives something like:

env:
  global:
    - secure: "Y3Ox1GnYemOXPms5qUg//pnJBTh/9/kdnDa8BRXqurMaH6RuADcZnmSLjR7W\ny81/JuXMgToWN/+6zZALZyoYm87qRjjQAKfglA9nuSeXDSPhpERMXaf7RVUI\n8BpQYkmdY/HsQtGci4qqNfifQulp8TS/CpV+Kgx9k5JpulBeFow="
    - secure: "ePKK/XhvRqBiHKFPZdh5rGgupABVQyYUQWvl2uzfqgCRZ6xGIU+ZW89iiL27\n3cSfEL1x1FAXPkpslNOscz4INYgl8+dUvnmwnSuT2b/9ekpeDEhTmC+L06si\n15NLKCK7TUnS3wJ/WkA27ij43X+ArOqsTi2xvTXTPdn4utLjfIM="
    - secure: "C...
    ...
    ...

To reconstitute the private SSH key once running inside Travis: (see example use in this .travis.yml)

Another similar technique in this gist from Douglas Duteil (douglasduteil), which declares in .travis.yml an external script.

before_script: .travis/before_script.sh



echo -n $id_rsa_{00..30} >> ~/.ssh/id_rsa_base64
base64 --decode --ignore-garbage ~/.ssh/id_rsa_base64 > ~/.ssh/id_rsa
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_rsa
echo -e "Host github.com\n\tStrictHostKeyChecking no\n" >> ~/.ssh/config

  • Same situation is for me but i am not using any travis just try to add a local project. How to resolve that? – kidsid49 Jul 31 '14 at 07:26
  • @kidsid49 you could create a new question, with a link back to this one, explaining the differences, and detailling your setup (git version, os, ...) – VonC Jul 31 '14 at 07:28

  • @kidsid49 great, but I don't see any information there about your setup, version number or error message that you could have had. You need to post a *complete* question for people to help you. – VonC Jul 31 '14 at 07:36
  • Sorry Man. Just edited my answer. I posted the whole terminal command and output. – kidsid49 Jul 31 '14 at 07:40
  • @kidsid49 much better. Still missing the setup info (version of OS, git, other tools), but you are getting there. – VonC Jul 31 '14 at 07:41
