Clone from bitbucket private repository using jenkins Pipeline as code

Question

im using jenikins pipeline as code to clone a git project which is in private bitbucket repository(stash repository). i used this code block to clone the project in my pipeline script.

node {  
//checkout from master  
stage 'checkout'  
   withCredentials([[$class: 'UsernamePasswordMultiBinding', credentialsId: 'MyID', usernameVariable: 'GIT_USERNAME', passwordVariable: 'GIT_PASSWORD']]) {  

      git url: 'https://[email protected]/stash/scm/test_automation.git' , branch: 'development'   
   }  
}

'MyID' is the credential ID and my username and password is correct.i save my credentials in global credentials feature in jenkins. but i get this error when i build the jenkins task.

In my mac machine under my paulrda account i can successfully clone my project using jenkins pipeline script but when i change to another account and run jenkins i get this error. still i cant understand why i get this error. please provide a solution to this problem.

my configurations.
Jenkins version : 2.19.2
Credentials Plugin : 2.1.8
Git plugin : 3.0.0
Git client plugin : 2.1.0

Below error message says Authentication failed for 'https://[email protected], which is a different user name than your code above (by intention?). But check username and password. You could also use sh "echo $GIT_PASSWORD" within the withCredentials step to verify. — StephenKing
So reading the whole error message probably not only helps you to resolve your problem, but also to apply anonymization ;-) — StephenKing

It's failing to authenticate because you are not passing the credentials to the git call correctly.

Since you are using the Git plugin and not a shell command, there's really no need to use withCredentials at all. You can pass the credentialsId directly to git call, like that:

stage('checkout') {
    git credentialsId: 'MyID', url: 'https://devMyCompany.org/stash/scm/test_automation.git', branch: 'development'
}
