I created a new (private) repository. Although I pasted in an overriding project code, I get "Error: login failed" when I tried to push to it with, even though I specified the pw that I used when I created the repo

$ fossil push https://eschen42:zyxxyPlugh@chiselapp.com/user/eschen42/repository/my_tools -R my_tools.fossil --once
Round-trips: 1   Artifacts sent: 0  received: 0
Error: login failed
Round-trips: 1   Artifacts sent: 0  received: 0
Push done, wire bytes sent: 3932  received: 309  ip: 74.208.146.128

When I cloned the repo or when I downloaded it, I found that it had a different project-code from the one that I entered (the cloned and downloaded repos had identical project codes, just not the one that I specified when creating the repo).

In summary, the override appears to be ignored.

I rated this only as "Important" because it is blocking my ability to start using ChiselApp rather than preventing me from getting my work done. :)

I am experiencing this same problem. Below are steps to reproduce it.

Get project code from existing local repo:

$ fossil info lopher.fossil
...
project-code: 5247ec281a1667111e76ebd063528cd30ed4ff48

Create new repo on chiselapp.com

• Log into my account bencollver on chiselapp.com
• Open https://chiselapp.com/secure/repository/create/
• At Repository name:, enter: lopher
• At Override project code..., enter 5247ec281a1667111e76ebd063528cd30ed4ff48
• Click Create Repository
• Save the username bencollver and password [saved password]

Check the project code

• Browse to the repository URL https://chiselapp.com/user/bencollver/repository/lopher
• Click Login
• At User ID:, enter: bencollver
• At Password:, enter: [saved password]
• Click Admin
• Click SQL
• Click CONFIG Table Query
• Note that the value for project-code is 0b56a1577ad3b4b50ed298b849ef9a0e2e803e69, which does not match my input for Override project code.

Attempt to sync local repo to chiselapp.com

$ fossil sync https://chiselapp.com/user/bencollver/repository/lopher -R lopher.fossil -B bencollver:[saved password]
