I’m currently setting up my first repository on my self-hosted Gitea instance using submodules contained in the instance.
Azure DevOps generally doesn’t have an issue with this, but Gitea apparently does.
At first my repository pulled the repo (in the same org as the parent repo) via CPM, but that didn’t work in the runner.
I got this error:
[ 11%] Creating directories for 'procsys_utils-populate'

CMake Error at procsys_utils-subbuild/procsys_utils-populate-prefix/tmp/procsys_utils-populate-gitclone.cmake:39 (message):
Failed to clone repository:
'ssh://gitea@<me>/<ORG>/procsys_common.git'
As I said, the repo structure is as follows:
PARENT_ORG/
PARENT
CHILD
So instead I removed the reference from CPM and added it as a git submodule.
This is a tried-and-true method. Or so I thought.
.gitmodules:
[submodule "submodules/procsys_common"]
path = submodules/procsys_common
url = ssh://gitea@<me>/<ORG>/procsys_common.git
However, no matter if I try actions/checkout@v4/v3 or set different options, it always ends up in an error like the following:

I have setup a specific gitea user with an SSH key and set it up in the runner.
- name: Checkout Repository
uses: actions/checkout@v4
with:
submodules: recursive
ssh-key: ${{secrets.PROCSYS_SSH_KEY}}
ssh-user: gitea
Following step prepares the build:
- name: Prepare Run
run: |
sudo apt update
sudo apt install cmake g++-10 make build-essential nodejs doxygen graphviz npm -y
sudo npm -g install quicktype
ssh-keyscan -p <PORT> -t ed25519 <me> >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts
git config --global --add url.https://<me>:3000/.insteadOf gitea@<me>/
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for any help!
Sorry for so much snipping, I’m not at liberty to disclose some of the information.
