Hi everyone,
Is it possible to handle git authentication in a test job ? I need LAVA to clone a repo that can't be set to public, and obviously it won't work because of the authentication step. So is it possible to specify a password or a token ?
Best regards, Axel

You can use 'secrets' section in the job definition. Docs here: https://master.lavasoftware.org/static/docs/v2/publishing-artifacts.html?hig...
It might be also a good idea to limit access to the job to user or group so the password doesn't leak. It has to be plain text unfortunately.

Ok good to know. Do you have a job definition example including secrets ?
There are quite a few but you need to be a member of the groups who have the rights to access the secrets to see those test jobs.

these are top level entries. Example below:
visibility: group: - my_secret_group
secrets: TOKEN: 123456789abcd

OK thank you for this example. In my job definition I have something like this : - test namespace... . . . definitions: - repository: https://<link to private git repo> from: git ....... How do I use the token in this case ?

Huh, I didn't think about this use case and I don't think it's supported (didn't find anything in the docs). To work around that you might need to do the inline test that performs 'git clone' on the target.

Tokens are available in the test shell, as per the documentation, as a parameter.
If you call your secret TOKEN in the test job definition then TOKEN will be available in the script called by the test shell action.
You can't. You would need to embed the TOKEN in the URL which defeats the object.
Add a previous test shell definition which accesses the TOKEN and then does the git clone as a command in a script from a public git repository.
Alternatively, change the network topology to allow the worker to access the private git repo without needing any tokens. e.g. in some labs, each worker is whitelisted so that any access from that IP is deemed to already be authorised for selected private URLs.

Or if you can't control that (e.g. remote public git server like github), embed ssh keys into your test images, or have the image grab those keys from a restricted location on your network.
There are quite a few possibilities - it depends on how complicated your needs are, and how ingenious you can be. :-)

Actually, as Neil just pointed out - I've misundestood what you were asking. Ignore me... :-)
Cheers,
Thanks everyone for your answers. I will try to find a work around.

Hello Alex,
if you are admin of the dispatcher, then you can use git-credentials-store (see https://git-scm.com/docs/git-credential-store) as root. In fact, lava-run (the process actually booting the board, deploying the overlay, ...) is ran as root. So if root does have access to your git credentials then lava-run would also have access.
Keep in mind that if you use git-credentials-store on the dispatcher, any jobs running on this dispatcher will have access to your credentials! So this solution is only acceptable for private dispatchers.

Hi Rémi,
Thank you for this tip. I didn't know about this possibility. Atm, I found a way to use a public repo but I will check this :)
