I am using BitBucket as a private repository for my project.
When i clone or push change sets into the repository i am prompt for password (i enter the password and everything works fine).
The problem is when i am trying to pull changes.
I am not asked for password and i get the following response in the workbench console.
% hg --repository local_repository_path fetch --verbose https://username@bitbucket.org/project
fetch
[command returned code 255 Sat Dec 31 18:19:42 2011]
if i go to the local repository in cmd and type “hg pull” i do get prompt for password and the pull succeeds.
can anyone please explain to me how to make this work from the workbench.
Many thanks.
Maybe the section “Overcoming Initial Problems in Pulling and Pushing” of “My Experience Migrating to TortoiseHg 2.0” from Saveen Reddy (also on Stack Overflow) can help:
It suggests to unchecked “Remove authentication data from url”
And it shows how to change the security settings by specifying your username as xxx@gmail.com and entering your password:
