Xcode repository

Hello,


I'm using the repository part of the Xcode service.

It's almost working but I have a little problem.


When I'm out of my home, accessing my repository via internet, everything is working great. I only need a few seconds to push or pull whatever I want.

When I'm at home, on a local computer (not the server itself), every interaction with the repository takes many minutes (more than 10 minutes to "load remotes" and at least 3 to 5 more to execute the action).


All of this is done using Xcode 5.0.2.

The server is running OS 10.9 with Server 3.0.1 and hosting a git repository.


I tried to pull/push using git commands with the terminal but I'm having the exact same problem.


From what I was able to see looking at the logs (I'm really not an expert in this area) it looks like Xcode is doing nothing during these very long minutes.

There is this message, repeated twice when I open the "pull" sheet :

26/11/2013 17:47:58,478 Xcode[372]: [MT] IDESourceControlAuthentication: Couldn't remove password from keychain: Error Domain=DVTSecErrorDomain Code=-25300 "The specified item could not be found in the keychain." UserInfo=0x7fe9ee5c96e0 {NSLocalizedDescription=The specified item could not be found in the keychain.}


If anyone has any idea of what's happening here I would be really interested !

Thanks.

Here's a test for a common trigger for long access delays: launch Terminal.app from Applications > Utilities and issue the following harmless, diagnostic command:


sudo changeip -checkhostname


That'll check some core network settings including DNS, and DNS problems can cause these sorts of delays. It'll tell you whether no changes are required, or if there are issues with the configuration. You will need to enter an administrative password for the sudo, and might also see a one-time informational message issued from sudo.

This command seems to be specific to OS X Server so I ony executed it on my server and it seems to be working fine.

sudo changeip -checkhostname

Password:



Primary address = 192.168.1.100



Current HostName = achille.home

DNS HostName = achille.home



The names match. There is nothing to change.


Yes, Achille is the charming name of my server.


Thanks for trying to help !

I'm not sure to fully understand what you mean but OS X Server isn't used as a DNS server on my local network.

The DNS service of the Server is disabled.

I'm using my internet provider's router for the DNS part.


I think you might be right about this being related to a DNS problem.

As you saw the HostName of my server is achille.home, on my client, in my Xcode project repositories settigns, the server is referenced as achille.home but when trying to ping achille.home from this client, every ping timeout.


If I try to ping achille.local the ping command works.


I'm not sure how I should change these settings in my Xcode project and why it used this hostname but I guess it might fix the problem.


Thanks

I checked out my project using the achille.local hostname and everything is now working great.

I'm still not sure why achille.home isn't recognized and why achille.local is but at least it's working.


Thanks once more for pointing me in the right direction.

Interesting.


OS X Server typically expects there to be a DNS server available and that the DNS server can return name to IP address and IP address to name translations — and an ISP DNS server can't do that. I'm not sure how the diagnostics passed — your firewall-gateway-router box must be providing DNS translations for your LAN.
