v.1.8.0 gives error on install via Git: "ENOTFOUND Package git not found"

[liquid1982]

I'm receiving the following error when I try to install packages via Git (git@...).

vincenzo:~/ $ bower install git@github.com:stevemao/left-pad.git                                                                                                      
bower                        ENOTFOUND Package git not found

Everything works fine using https:

vincenzo:~/ $ bower install https://github.com/stevemao/left-pad.git

bower left-pad#*              download https://github.com/stevemao/left-pad/archive/v1.1.3.tar.gz

bower left-pad#*              resolved https://github.com/stevemao/left-pad.git#1.1.3
bower left-pad#^1.1.3          install left-pad#1.1.3

left-pad#1.1.3 bower_components/left-pad

Something changed in the 1.8.0 version, but I wasn't able to understand if the former version is now deprecated.

Output of bower -v && npm -v && node -v:

1.8.0
2.14.7
v4.2.1

Additional environment details (proxy, private registry, etc.):

N/A

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. run bower install git@github.com:stevemao/left-pad.git on v. 1.8.0
2. PANIC

I can confirm that rolling back to 1.7.9 makes the problem go away

Could this be because of #2322, more specifically 1eabaef?
And what about this: dc59913?

I'm not familiar with the source, just browsed through the recent commits, so I could be on the wrong track.

[doomedramen]

I didn't know you could use git@github style URLs on bower, I thought you could only use the short form bower install username/package from github. I'll put a patch in.

[boromisp]

We use this URL style for private git repos with ssh key auth.

[doomedramen]

I cannot see any tests currently in place for supporting git@github.com:USERNAME/PACKAGE.git style URLS, unless any core devs have an issue with it I will add tests and fixes for them. @sheerun

[liquid1982]

@wookoouk no worries, it happens :) you can find that URL style in the docs, with other styles as well: https://bower.io/docs/api/#install

[doomedramen]

My solution to this is to get the last @ after the last '/' (if any) and only replace that with a '#' instead of replacing all @'s. (damm regex)

PR #2395

[alber70g]

Related issue occurs with 1.8.2 when installing from a private repo.

Command: bower i -S "ssh://git@gitlab.xyz.net:2222/Teamname/reponame.git"

Error: ENOTFOUND Package ssh://git not found

[bennypowers]

We had this problem with a gitlab private repo, and our solution was to enable access to the deploy key for that private repo. YMMV

[isolationism]

I was having this problem with Bower 1.8.2 as well. Updating to Bower 1.8.4 resolved the problem.
