clone from private repository

[yangblink]

i use private gitlab, the vue-cli version is 2.8.2

if i clone with project-name like this

vue init -c gitlab.com:username/my-vue-template test

it show err:

vue-cli · Failed to download repo vuejs-templates/test: 'git clone' failed with status 128

it seems that the order of argument is wrong

use this cammnd is work fine

vue init -c test gitlab.com:username/my-vue-template 

and this

vue-init  gitlab.com:username/my-vue-template test

From readme:

If you would like to download from a private repository use the --clone flag and the cli will use git clone so your SSH keys are used.

@posva thanks for quick prompt
I mean it's should

# yes
vue init --clone my-project username/repo   # it's right on my mac

# no 
vue init --clone username/repo my-project  # vue will treate `my-project` as the repository addr

or it's just the bug of my commander module

[posva]

I see the bug, I'll fix it

[posva]

I gave it a look but I don't understand why the order is being messed up when loading the args. Can you take a quick look @egoist , please?

[posva]

BTW, using the option at the end works as expected

Not sure if this helps, but this appears to work (just replace vue init with vue-init):

vue-init -c gitlab:user/repo my-project

Im having a similar kind of issue with the custom template and its hosted in my work's private bitbucket repo and get the following error:

vue-cli · Failed to download repo ssh://[email protected]:7999/mac/vue-moo-webpack-boilerplate.git: 'git clone' failed with status 128

I tried all the mentioned steps:
vue init -c ssh://[email protected]:7999/mac/vue-moo-webpack-boilerplate.git yay
vue init ssh://[email protected]:7999/mac/vue-moo-webpack-boilerplate.git --clone yay

When I put in on a public Github repo it works fine but not sure why its not working with the private bitbucket repo?

When I do git clone bitbucket of the exact repo it works fine as so I can tell its not the connection issue with SSH.

git clone ssh://[email protected]:7999/mac/vue-moo-webpack-boilerplate.git

Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

@bajras did you try replacing vue init with vue-init?

[bajras]

@mrcsmcln yes, that didnt work either.

me too, In Window OS. I pull a request fix the bug.

#  in Windows OS
vue-init -c gitlab:gitlab.host:user/repo project-name

commander appears to be switching the order of the args.

vue init a b

Program.args[0] === a
Program.args[1] === b

vue init -c a b

Program.args[0] === b
Program.args[1] === a

Perhaps an iterating through an object with no guarantee of order.

[lee-chase]

Running

vue init --clone a b

Causes Commander.prototype.parse to be run twice. First for 'vue' which results in '--clone a' being seen as an unknown parameter. The unknown parameters are then tacked back on in Commander.prototype.parseArgs.

Personally, I'd see this as a bug in Commander which could do better with named arguments. That said --clone is not a named argument, it is being used as a switch and Commander does not seem to support argumentless switches.

It is perhaps less confusing to suggest users use the following command

vue init --clone=true a b

I pull a request fix the bug

# There will be errors in the windows
vue init gitlab:http://192.168.1.125:nodejser/templates my-project

@bajras Did u manage to solve this? Installing templates from your works private repo?

[adamkpurdy]

Has this been fixed on OSX? I see that it was closed on Aug 18th, and reopened for window's OS.

Unfortunately I can't get this to work either. I've tried all options mentioned in this thread.

[bajras]

I have not been able to get it work. Had to clone the repo first locally and then do the init.

@bajras I got the same problem! After format the git repo url, it works. Vue-init get template from remote repo with download-git-repo which check your url format. So, just run:
vue-init -c <host>:<userName>/<repo> <projectName>
Do not add 'ssh://git@' prefix and '.git' suffix. In your case:
vue-init -c bitbucket.moo.com:7999/mac/vue-moo-webpack-boilerplate yay
Try it.
