Auth fail on sbt new

[salvalcantara]

Steps

Set up a template project on a private Gitlab instance using the following build.properties:

sbt.version=1.6.2
giter8.version=0.14.0

then run

sbt new [email protected]:company/private/template-project.g8.git

Problem

I'm getting the following error

[email protected]:company/private/template-project.g8.git: Auth fail

However, if I install g8 using Coursier, it just works:

g8 [email protected]:company/private/template-project.g8.git

Cloning the repo works just fine, too

git clone [email protected]:company/private/template-project.g8.git

Expectation

The sbt new command creates the project without errors.

Notes

For what it's worth, the above versions in build.properties match my local versions for both sbt (installed via Homebrew) and giter8 (installed via Coursier as a workaround for sbt new). The problem should have been solved in https://github.com/foundweekends/giter8/pull/583, but I'm using the latest sbt/g8 versions and still getting the Auth fail error.

@eed3si9n this is interesting, in particular since g8 alone works while from sbt new it doesn't. Maybe Apache Mina in the g8 classpath gets overridden by jsch in the sbt classpath. Couldn't that be the case? What do you think?

It would be good to revisit this now that sbt 1.7.2 is out with Mina-enabled Giter8.
