Cannot figure out namespace and repository from path

[Scylardor]

Hello,
I'm trying to use git-lfs-authenticate with a self-hosted LFS server in order to achieve password-less authentication on my team's SSH repository.

git-lfs-authenticate gets correctly called however it always fails with that error:

Cannot figure out namespace and repository from path: foobar.git

I don't even know what a namespace is, in that context.
I'm cloning using a syntax like git clone git@myserver:foobar.git

Reading the code I realize you expect exactly one slash (/) in the repo name (here, foobar.git), to split between a namespace and repo name.
But there just isn't any slash in my repo path, so I don't know what to do.

Could you help me solve that issue ?
It's a bit frustrating given I seem so close to making it work.

Thanks

Hi!

This sounds like a bug. Indeed, I'm so used to namespaced setups that I just implicitly assumed everyone uses that.

I will try to get this fixed in the next few days.

Hi,

yes, don't worry, as I were able to hack through the Go code, I modified what I needed in order to make it work.

This is basically as far as my experience goes with golang though so I'll leave the proper fix to you.

Cheers

What did you need to hack? I've just rediscovered this bug ;-)

Edit -- I've just also done some similar hacking. From line ~160 of main.go:

    parts := strings.Split(path, "/")
     parts_of_path := []string{strings.Join(parts[0:len(parts)-1],"/"), parts[len(parts)-1]} //which works, that is, if one assumes that the namespace always comes first...

    if len(parts_of_path) != 2 {
        err := fmt.Sprintf("Cannot figure out namespace and repository from path: %q", path)
        return "", "", "", errors.New(err)
    }

    return operation, parts_of_path[0], parts_of_path[1], nil
}
