Development: Fix git SSH URI generation for build agents

[bensofficial]

Checklist

General

• This is a small issue that I tested locally and on a test server.
• Language: I followed the guidelines for inclusive, diversity-sensitive, and appreciative language.
• I chose a title conforming to the naming conventions for pull requests.

Server

• I strictly followed the server coding and design guidelines.

Motivation and Context

We currently have a bug in an Artemis course with the short name scml2526 on production.

All build jobs for programming exercises are failing because of this error:

Error while executing build job 90836071759487848781: de.tum.cit.aet.artemis.core.exception.LocalCIException: Error while cloning repository scml2526tst-solution with uri https://artemis.tum.de/git/SCML2526TST/scml2526tst-solution.git after 3 attempts

After having a look at the server logs, we discovered that the build agent tried to clone with this URI: ssh://[email protected]:7921/git/SCML2526TSTl2526tst-solution.git. The URI should look like this: ssh://[email protected]:7921/git/SCML2526TST/scml2526tst-solution.git .

The reason for this is that /scm is removed in the SSH clone URI (probably a relic from Bitbucket).

Description

We removed that /scm is replaced with "".

Steps for Testing

Prerequisites:

• 1 Instructor

1. Create a new exercise
2. Check that the build for the template and solution is working correctly

Optionally you can test this locally (when having SSH enabled for the build agent):

1. Create a new course with the short name scml2526
2. Create a new exercise in this course
3. Check that the build for the template and solution is working correctly

Testserver States

You can manage test servers using Helios. Check environment statuses in the environment list. To deploy to a test server, go to the CI/CD page, find your PR or branch, and trigger the deployment.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • SSH clone URLs now use the full repository path without removing any leading segments. Instances hosted under paths like “/scm” will have that segment retained in the SSH URL.
  • Users copying SSH clone links from the application should be able to clone repositories without manual path adjustments across supported Git platforms.

Walkthrough

Updated SSH URI construction in AbstractGitService.getSshUri to use the repository URI path unchanged, removing previous logic that stripped a leading "/scm" segment.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Summary
Git SSH URI handling src/main/java/de/tum/cit/aet/artemis/programming/service/AbstractGitService.java	Modified getSshUri to derive the SSH path directly from repositoryUri.getPath() instead of replacing a leading "/scm". Alters resulting clone URL path construction.
