Site repository changed after first deploy

Support

I have encountered a weird issue. I created a site manually using netlify-cli:

netlify sites:create -c -m

And used a git url pointing to a self-hosted gitlab instance in the form:

ssh://git@mygitlab.com:2222/group-name/repo-name.git

The first deploy was successful. After making some changes and pushing them, the build failed in the Initializing step with the error below:

3:54:20 PM: Failed during stage "preparing repo": For more information, visit https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/troubleshooting-tips/#build-fails-with-error-128: fatal: "group-name/repo-name" does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Checking the build settings, the git repo has changed without any interaction from me.

Initial repo: ssh://git@mygitlab.com:2222/group-name/repo-name.git
Current repo: group-name/repo-name

Since I’m on the starter plan, I can’t change the repo back to the correct one. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Could you share the name of the site?

Thanks for the reply! The name of the site is statica-eu-casa-aelia

Could you share your repo’s URL? I can update it from our end.

please share the url

So was this a bug, is this issue going to happen with other sites?

Since that is a private repo in a private gitlab instance, I would not like to share it in a public forum. You can see the correct repo in the logs of the first deployment. If you can’t access the logs, please let me know how I can share the repo privately.

I don’t think I have been able to confirm that. I don’t have a self-hosted instance to check or verify.

I have tried to update the path from our end, let us know if it helps or if this happens again.

@hrishikesh I’m having the same issue with a new site that I created today

Also the repo that you changed should start with ssh://git@. Apologies for not informing you that the repo in the logs is not correct and it is missing the git@ part.

@jonian I’ve escalated this bug to the devs, they’re currently investigating. Thanks for updating us with more context!

@jonian This should now be fixed, if you continue to have issues please let us know!

Thank you for looking at this @sid.m!

Now I’m left with 2 sites that have wrong repositories due to this issue. Where can I send you the correct git repos so you can change them?

Thanks again!

@jonian if you’re not comfortable sharing the repo names here, you can send me a private message and I’ll be happy to fix those
