Using openSUSE and Ubuntu with installed dependencies I can't clone the remote repository with Rugged::Repository.clone_at method and getting the error message:
Rugged::NetworkError: This transport isn't implemented. Sorry
The code:
credentials = Rugged::Credentials::SshKey.new(:privatekey=>'path/to/privatekey', :publickey=>'path/to/publickey', :passphrase=>'passphrase')
Rugged::Repository.clone_at 'ssh://github.com/vmoravec/repo', 'dir/to/destination', :credentials => credentials
My Gemfile for a rails project contais reference to the github repo like this:
gem 'rugged', git: 'git://github.com/libgit2/rugged.git', branch: 'development', submodules: true
The gem has been installed with command bundle install --path bundle/
The cloning does not work even with using bundle exec rails console
Installed system packages:
There is already similar question asked here on SO, but the solution does not work (although it's for MacOS I think): Getting Rugged::NetworkError on #connect
Removing the bundle/ directory and reinstalling the gems with bundle install --path bundle/ resolved the issue on both systems. It seems that the build system was not able for some reasons to detect the /usr/lib64/libssh2.so.1 dependency required for ssh transport. Carlos, thanks for the hint to use ldd rugged.so to check that.
