Clone private Mercurial repository on bitbucket.org into InetlliJ IDEA with hg4idea plugin?

Question

I created private repository on bitbucket.org. I want to use it from IntelliJ IDEA.

I choose "Check out from Version Control" and there is message box with field Mercurial Repository URL and Test Repository button.
What should I enter into Mercurial Repository URL?

I tried

• http://bitbucket.org/my_user_name/my_repo_name,
• https://, and https://[email protected]/my_user_name/my_repo_name.

Nothing works.
When I click Test Repository I always get the message "Repository test has failed.".
I assume it is because there is no field for username and password, but can't I enter this data somehow?

Since only the latest hg4idea version supports authentication, you could try, for accessing and cloning your Bitbucket repo:

hg clone http://myuser:[email protected]/MY_USER/MY_REPO

(that is, if your Bitbucket repo is a private one, which you did mention in your question:
'myuser' and 'mypassword' would then be the login and password for your Bitbucket account, using basic access authentication for the http url)
