HANA Express - Web IDE - Git clone error - cannot open git-upload-pack

[Former Member]

Hi,

I'm following OpenSAP development course manual for HANA 2.0 and folloow the exercises.

When in Web IDE, I go to File > Git > Clone repository and input the url of the template files for the course, which is: https://github.com/SAP/com.sap.openSAP.hana5.example

After clicking Ok, I'm getting an error:

Clone request failed

https://github.com/SAP/com.sap.openSAP.hana5.example: cannot open git-upload-pack

Can anyone direct me towards a correct solution? The course itself is already over, so I can't ask there. Thomas Jung (one of the teachers) mentions that I can just import it as a .zip file from Github, but I want to have a fully working connection to repository.
Thanks

I'm running into this same problem of "cannot open git-upload-pack". I feel my setup is very vanilla for Web IDE where I attempted this both from a trial version and from a full SAP Cloud account I am getting this error to connect to the SAP corporate GitHub. If there are certificate installs needed, can someone provide a reference for this? My web searches haven't been successful.

Thanks,

I'm having the same problem. Just started using HANA Express and going through the course. Is there a solution out there?

Hi colleagues,

To fix the issue you need to generate and save locally a token in Git settings for your user: https://github.wdf.sap.corp/settings/tokens

After that in WebIDE you need to choose Use Token Authentication option and paste the token. Please be advised, you will not be able to see the token in future, so please save it locally.

Hello Kuatroka,

I'm fighting with the same problem. Have you found any log entries or stack traces regarding this error?

I've searched through all log files, but I wasn't finding any entry...

Hi Josef, unfortunately no good news for now. I stopped researching about it for now as I don't see anyone from SAP picking this subject up or clarifying anything. The only suggestion I got is to check if the HANA system is behind a firewall or some ports are closed. As I'm not a Linux expert I'm not sure how to do it. Specially given the fact that HANA VM OS is completely command line based.

Let me know if you get through this issue.

Cheers
