credential helper '/usr/bin/gp credential-helper' told us to quit

[davidwindell]

Bug description

Since somewhere around the first week of February (working fine before for some time), we've had problems with composer installs as follows:

[RuntimeException]                                                                                                                                                
  Failed to execute git clone --mirror -- 'https://gitlab.ebizmarts.com/ebizmarts/magento2-pos-api-request.git' '/workspace/.composer/cache/vcs/https---gitlab.ebi  
  zmarts.com-ebizmarts-magento2-pos-api-request.git/'                                                                                                               
                                                                                                                                                                    
  Cloning into bare repository '/workspace/.composer/cache/vcs/https---gitlab.ebizmarts.com-ebizmarts-magento2-pos-api-request.git'...                              
  fatal: credential helper '/usr/bin/gp credential-helper' told us to quit  

This is causing a major headache for us.

Steps to reproduce

git clone --mirror -- 'https://gitlab.ebizmarts.com/ebizmarts/magento2-pos-api-request.git' '/workspace/.composer/cache/vcs/https---gitlab.ebizmarts.com-ebizmarts-magento2-pos-api-request.git/'

We can get everything to work by temporarily running:

sed -i 's/credential/credential "https:\/\/github.com"/' ~/.gitconfig

Workspace affected

No response

Expected behavior

I don't fully understand the purpose of the credential-helper but for repos like this, it should not be used and allow composer to use it's own auth file?

Example repository

No response

Anything else?

Could this be related to #4059

@jeanp413 @iQQBot Could you have a look or find someone to look at it? It looks like recent changes introduced another regression?

will have a look

@davidwindell the fix was deployed, could you verify please? 🙏

[davidwindell]

@akosyakov tested and it works perfectly! Thanks for the incredibly fast turnaround on this.
