Really not sure what's going on here, but after trying a few different things I'm stumped:

I think the issue is that the branch contains refs in the name (all 3 attempts had that in the name)

@arturcic ugh, you might be right. Any idea why libgit2sharp would complain about that?

Confirmed this is the issue (a new PR submitted without containing refs passes). Going to leave this open for a bit to remind myself to try and reproduce it in isolation and see if I can put something on the libgit2sharp tracker.

If changing the name of the branch helps, I'd say that's a bug in GitVersion. Best case, we should handle that gracefully, worst case we should yield an understandable error message indicating that the name of the branch could be the perpetrator.

@asbjornu I'd like to figure out why it's only failing on Windows too (as someone who has contributed to libgit2sharp before, I'd like to know why this is failing because it seems a bit absurd).

Changing branch name from NoTicket.FixFixUserPrefsForSiteMap to FixFixUserSettingsForSiteMap is a working waorkaround

So the NoTicket. prefix is causing problems, @rducom? Perhaps the . in there? Bizarre, whategver it is. The best way to fix this would be to provide a failing test in the LibGit2Sharp repository, I think.

Just chiming in with more data on this in case it is helpful; I'd really appreciate this being looked at. This breaks quite a lot of builds for us, especially since developer branch names usually reference their work and we work with a lots of 'xrefs' in our code.

Given the stack trace, I would say this is a bug in LibGit2Sharp or perhaps even in libgit2. I at least have no idea how we can fix this in GitVersion. Pull requests and ideas are of course welcome.

@asbjornu Understood & I'd be quite comfortable with this blocked by a corresponding issue on LibGit2Sharp - I am just not sure if I have the background information necessary to raise it.

I wish I could help, but I'm not experienced in the LibGit2Sharp or libgit2 source code myself.

Looking at the spec for git_reference_create, the fundamental problem seems to be a parsing or data error somewhere prior. The name passed to git_reference_create isn't faulty because it contains refs. It's faulty period - it should be a canonical name in the form e.g. refs\heads\fully-qualified-refs-fix.

This appears to be a bug at

GitVersion/src/GitVersionCore/Core/GitPreparer.cs

Line 323 in 72ee9ea

var isRef = currentBranch.Contains("refs");
but I am assuming the intent of prior code which I may not understand 😄

Prior code & logging indicates that currentBranch passed to this function EnsureLocalBranchExistsForCurrentBranch is e.g. from logs earlier in GitPreparer

Branch from build environment: fully-qualified-refs-fix

which is not canonical.

Running this code down to the ReferenceCollection.Add yields a call into LibGit2Sharp of

repo.Refs.Add("fully-qualified-refs-fix", repoTipId.Sha);

which will inevitably crash. Remove the refs part and it will instead call as

repo.Refs.Add("refs/heads/fully-qualified-fix", repoTipId.Sha);

Aside: This is likely why Add is being called, because as far as I can tell these branches do already exist, rather than should be created, but the comparison in if (repo.Branches.All(b => !b.Name.Equals(referenceName))) likely fails for the same reason.

Thanks for the digging, @hotchkj! Perhaps more logging in that area of the GitVersion code may help figure out where the bug may be?

@hotchkj

hotchkj commented Jan 28, 2021

Possibly more logs may help. I think the information this report is currently lacking is why this works in the general case but not on Windows. What I am curious about, and I suspect only the author of the relevant GitVersion code can answer, is what the following segment is expected to returned:

GitVersion/src/GitVersionCore/Core/GitPreparer.cs

Lines 79 to 93 in 72ee9ea

private string ResolveCurrentBranch()
{
var gitVersionOptions = options.Value;
var targetBranch = gitVersionOptions.RepositoryInfo.TargetBranch;
if (buildAgent == null)
{
return targetBranch;
}
var isDynamicRepository = !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(gitVersionOptions.RepositoryInfo.DynamicRepositoryClonePath);
var currentBranch = buildAgent.GetCurrentBranch(isDynamicRepository) ?? targetBranch;
log.Info("Branch from build environment: " + currentBranch);
return currentBranch;
}

As far as I can tell from following the code through, the fault is either in the aforementioned GitVersionCore's EnsureLocalBranchExistsForCurrentBranch because it assumes the presence of the string refs is enough to validate the presence of a canonical name, or the fault lies above in whatever this code does, because it should have reported a canonical name and didn't (perhaps it assumes the build agent reports in a given fashion and that has changed?). There are no comments to determine intent from this outside observer though.

All that said, it seems likely that the data is coming from a tool outside GitVersion's control, so it may just be better to harden the checking in EnsureLocalBranchExistsForCurrentBranch.

That sounds like a very plausible cause, indeed!

Agreed! The search for refs should at least include /, I'd say. Ideas for how this can be made even more robust and pull requests implementing them are welcome and appreciated. 🙏🏼

If an upgrade of LibGit2Sharp helps with this problem, #2916 should prove useful.
