Troubleshooting
ERROR: Error getting list of commits; Invalid revision range; unknown revision or path not in the working tree
Problem: One of the following messages appears when executing the pipeline:
ERROR: Error getting list of commits ERROR: fatal: Invalid revision range
ERROR: fatal: ambiguous argument '158902d..HEAD': unknown revision or path not in the working tree.
Resolution
Azure Devops has a default GitHub fetch depth of 1 commit. This causes a problem of not being able to find the sqlScmLastImportID specified in deployPackager.properties. Updating the sqlScmLastImportID in the latest commit results in a temporary one-off success.
A large fetchDepth can affect performance of the pipeline over time, especially if large commits are made to the SQL repo. For example, a fetchDepth of '0' can be used to get all commits in the branch, but doing this every time could be wasteful of resources as time goes on, or if there are large commits: (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/devops/pipelines/repos/pipeline-options-for-git?view=azure-devops&tabs=yaml#shallow-fetch ).
This parameter might require tuning or intervention over time if the error appears again. We recommend starting with a relatively low value, say 100, for maintaining a consistent rolling window of 100 commits. While this setting can be made using the UI for basic pipelines with no YAML definition, it should be made directly in the pipeline YAML where checkout steps are defined.
Below is an example of the usage of fetchDepth:
| Code Block |
|---|
- checkout: SQL_REPOSITORY
clean: true
persistCredentials: true
fetchDepth: 100 |
