[Spaces] Can't install from private git

Describe the bug

Hi,

I cannot get installing python packages from private repos to work (tried gitlab and hf). When using the access tokens, the part where the requirements.txt are installed still fails.

On any remote machine I tried, this works perfectly. The error is attached below.

To reproduce create a private repo with a setup.py and a folder named “test” (as attached). Then in your public space add this to the requirements.txt: pip install git+https://${USERNAME}:${SECRET}@${YOUR_REPO}.

Reproduction

No response

System Info

The code is running on Spaces, so should be up-to-date an linux.

If you’re doing it in runtime, although it would be slower, you can do subprocess.run to run git clone + cd + pip install .

If this is for a Space, you could do something like

file_path = hf_hub_download("lfolle/DeepNAPSIModel", "dummy_model.pth",
                              use_auth_token=os.environ['DeepNAPSIModel'])

And you can add the environment variable as a secret in the Settings tab as documented here. There is no need to have it in the requirements file.
