Failed to authenticate SSH session

[naufraghi]

Perhaps related to #13 ?, I have an error on try-merge:

Failed to authenticate SSH session: Unable to open public key file; class=Ssh (23)

git and ssh are working fine, peculiarities are:

• non standard ssh port
• ed25519 key

Sorry for the late reply! I got the notifications turned off for some reason. Unfortunately I think this will be hard to reproduce on my own, can you check one of these solutions?

1. It seems I did not put the code to handle passphrase. If you have a passphrase locking your ssh key, this might be the issue. In that case I think it's best that you use ssh-agent because it will unlock the key before adding it to the running agent (I believe).

2. The code that handles the credentials is here: https://github.com/cecton/git-tools/blob/72937393b65631cfe97e3b4cd13f6498f60b6dac/src/common.rs#L388-L426

   Perhaps you can you check if this looks good to you?

3. I remember I had quite some issues getting this to work properly. Using git2_credentials was not enough.

   I suspect this could be the offending code:

   username_from_url.unwrap_or_else(|| user.to_str().unwrap()),
   

   If you force it to user instead, does it work better?

Hi, thanks, no problem at all!

1. the gnome keyring should act as an agent, or at least git works without asking. I'll double check if I still have the same error in a shell I'm sure can see the agent.
2. I'll have a look there with some dbg!().
3. Can be, my local username is not the remote user, or at least, not on all the servers, maybe dbg!() will help here too.

I hope to remember to have a look at this in the next few days, if not, feel free to close the issue!
