Cannot checkout from Github
I have read the threads in this forum already and followed the various pointers listed but cannot get this to work.
I am trying to perform Checkout from VCS and I always get 'Cannot login with these credentials':
(I have removed the login text field contents)
I have double checked that my ssh keys are correctly registered with github.
I can login correctly with the github tool, using git it connects fine and I can checkout fine using git.
I have looked in the logs but cannot see anything that might point me in any useful direction - the error dialog doesnt say very much either.
I am using IDEA 10.5.2 on MacOSX 10.6.8.
Any pointers?

Hi Saqib,
Please try the set the following setting to 'Native' - 'Project Settings - Version Control - VCSs - Git - SSH Executable'.

Hi Dennis.
I have tried both natice and IDEA-ssh but neither worked.
Is there somewhere that this problem might be logged?
To setup my github ssh keys I followed all the instructions on the github site and went over it a number of times just to ensure that all was setup ok.
Thanks,
Saqib
Hi Saqib,
Do you use "Checkout from Git" or "Checkout from GitHub"?
Please check the attached images - they are not visible now.
Hi Kirill.
I use 'Checkout from GitHub'.
I have uploaded the images again:
You say "I can login correctly with the github tool". Do you mean the separate program "GitHub for Mac" (http://mac.github.com/) ?
Please try to enter your credentials in the Settings -> GitHub and pressing "Test" there. Does it give the same error?
// It looks like a problem with login procedure. SSH settings don't affect this.
Yes - that is the "GitHub for Mac" tool that can be downloaded from that url.
I have tried but I get the same error:
Just an assumption: do you have any non-ASCII letters in your password?
I've just tested GitHub and IDEA and noticed that if a password has, for example, russian letters, it is not handled properly by GitHub plugin. Is it your case? (slashes, quotes and other ascii-symbols should work fine)
Just regular ASCII alphanumeric characters.
I wonder if anybody else is having this problem on MacOSX with git 1.7.3.4?
Hello guys,
Indeed we had a problem with authentification to the github. This problem was already fixed in the latest development builds. Here is the ticket: http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issue/IDEA-74106
As a workaround you can use common not-github-specific git support.
Sorry for such inconveniences.

Hi Oleg.
Yes - I can use git integration instead - that works fine.
I noticed that the fix is included in a not-yet-released build of Nika - any time frame for when next eap will be release?
Thanks,
Saqib
We plan to release a new EAP very soon. Maybe even today. Stay tuned: http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/
Hi Kirill.
I have just checked the new EAP of Nika and I still get exactly the same problem.
Thank,

Hi Kirill.
Just thought I'd try to see if the IC edition worked with github and hey presto - connects fine and clones my repository without any issues.
One thing that I didnt do is get the IC edition to import settings from an older version.
What is the best way to clean out the existing installation + any settings/configs/files of any description associated with it and do a totally clean install?
Thanks,
Saqib
Hello Saqib,
Do you use master password to store your password for github?
Regards,
Oleg
Hi Kirill.
I tried re-installing IDEA Ultimate after a totally clean install and it now works fine!
I will slowly re-install plugins over the next few days to see if there is some unwanted interaction there.
In answer to your earlier question, yes I do use password manager.
