Description

Code

const SSH = require('node-ssh')
const ssh = new SSH()

async function test () {
    await ssh.connect({
        host: 'myIP',
        username: 'root',
        port: 22,
        password: 'MyPassword',
        tryKeyboard: true,
        onKeyboardInteractive: (name, instructions, instructionsLang, prompts, finish) => {
            console.log(name)
            console.log(instructions)
            console.log(instructionsLang)
            console.log(prompts)
            console.log(finish)
        }
    })
    let res = await ssh.execCommand('git clone https://gitee.com/dtboy/platform.git')
    console.log(res);

    // ssh.requestShell
    console.log('#')
    // ssh.dispose()
}

test()
  • This function, onKeyboardInteractive, is never called
  • res
{ code: 128,
  signal: undefined,
  stdout: 'Cloning into \'platform\'...',
  stderr:
   'fatal: could not read Username for \'https://gitee.com\': No such device or address' }
What should I do, any help would be appreciated!

Research direction

Start with the ssh.execCommand('git clone ...') call and compare it with the onKeyboardInteractive callback configured on ssh.connect. Check how command execution handles input and authentication, then reproduce the reported Username error. Done means documenting or implementing a supported way for the clone to authenticate successfully.
