Interesting @eduardonunesp. Does it work if you provide the full git URL? [email protected]:...

It's possible that something is going on where it is trying to use https://github.com/, and permissions don't line up correctly (or the other way around, trying to use git@.... You can also try configuring git to use one or the other in all cases. (Here's how to force https:// https://gist.github.com/taoyuan/bfa3ff87e4b5611b5cbe)

[gnidan]

Let me know what you find! Thanks!

It failed for truffle unbox [email protected]:loomnetwork/truffle-dappchain-example allso truffle unbox https://github.com/loomnetwork/truffle-dappchain-example

[eduardonunesp]

Force https using the gist above didn't work also

[gnidan]

@eduardonunesp this might be redundant but I'm assuming it also doesn't work if you include the .git suffix on those URLs?

[eduardonunesp]

Nope didn't work, does that work for you @gnidan?

[gnidan]

Nope, I'm getting the same thing, also on the beta. Will have to look into why this is going on next week.

[gnidan]

Found the issue, the PR above should fix.

Workaround in the meantime: make sure the box defines truffle.js (since that's the filename currently used to ensure the box is valid)

[eduardonunesp]

Nice ! well I do prefer to use truffle-config.js (and remove truffle.js) to make sure that Windows users are fine too, I'll wait for the fix. Thanks.

So is this fixed? Still having trouble here

+1, I'm also having this issue currently with truffle unbox oasislabs/oasis-box - confirmed that the truffle-box.json exists @ https://github.com/oasislabs/oasis-box, yet am receiving the "doesn't exist" readout.
