Rhodecode and GO continuous integration

Question

I'm working with RhodeCode (someway similar to bitbucket) for some time now, and my team want to integrate a new CI tool named GO, this tool uses version control systems (mercurial, git, svn, etc), in our case mercurial on a RhodeCode repository.

The problem is that when I want to set the RhodeCode URL and credentials for this private repository, there is just a URL field, and not a 'user' and 'password' field.

I know mercurial repositories has the possibility to pass the user and password through the URL (user:[email protected]) and I tried it without success, it recognizes the user and password when I check the connection but when the pipeline is executed, an http authentication error jumps.

We can't use a local repository because we are a team working on this project.

I know there is a text file with all these configurations, but I couldn't find the way to put my credentials there to pull from our remote repository.

So, if some of you has had the same issue, I would be really grateful if you could answer this issue.

Greeting and many thanks!

Alejandro.

To use your username and password in a Mercurial URL, you'll need to URL-encode your username and password.

E.g: [email protected] with password $ecre7 will use a URL like https://user%40example.com%:%24ecre7%[email protected]/myrepo.
