Public private key authentication has been setup for my user "sandeepan" to access the repository hosted on gitlab. I can run git fetch/pull commands on this server.

However, when I run a fetch command via a phing xml file, I get a prompt to enter the credentials.

. Following is the line which invokes the git fetch -

<exec command="git fetch origin test_sandeepan" dir="/home/jenkins/phing/scratchpad/adserver" />

I ensured that -

I am switched to my user "sandeepan".
Also, the permissions and ownerships of the xml file are as follows -

-rwxrwxrwx 1 sandeepan sandeepan 6479 Aug 9 08:56 build.xml

Any pointers would be appreciated.

I don't use phing, but it sounds like it's trying to use the https protocol instead of ssh. Is there a configuration section for the remote url? – Jeff Puckett Aug 09 '16 at 12:02
Check if the environment variables are passed to your command. – cweiske Sep 27 '16 at 11:02
