After generating the tag, the pipeline fails in gitlab ci.

[hayawata3626]

After generating the tag, the pipeline fails. It seems to be a problem when pushing the code. Is there something wrong with my setup?

$ npx nx affected --target=version --base=$NX_BASE --parallel=1
 >  NX   Running target version for 2 project(s):
    - next-app
    - next-app-e2e

I did exactly what the document says. https://github.com/jscutlery/semver#gitlab-ci

my .gitlab-ci.yml

image: node:16

stages:
  - build
  - release

.distributed:
  interruptible: true
  rules:
    - if: '$CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"'
      when: manual
    - if: '$CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main"'
      when: manual
  cache:

    - git remote set-url origin https://gitlab-ci-token:${DEPLOY_KEY}@gitlab.com/watarunrun/nx-next-release-note.git
    - npx nx affected --target=version --base=$NX_BASE
    - git tag -f last-release
    - git push origin last-release --force -o ci.skip

I changed settings of project.json to generate CHANGELOG.md as follows.

"version": {
      "executor": "@jscutlery/semver:version",
      "options": {
        "preset": "conventional",
        "tagPrefix": "${projectName}@",
        "push": true
      }
    }

@hayawata3626 I think it comes from a misconfiguration of the base branch, the error occurs on the push like if "main" is not a correct ref, what is your base branch, master or main?

[hayawata3626]

@edbzn Thanks for the reply! My base branch is main.

[hayawata3626]

@edbzn Perhaps this has something to do with it? https://forum.gitlab.com/t/src-refspec-master-does-not-match-any/24691

[edbzn]

Yeah, it could come from the way you are initializing the repository, did you try to change or remove the GIT_DEPTH variable?

[hayawata3626]

Yeah, I tried this to debug.

did you try to change or remove the GIT_DEPTH variable?

[gabsmprocha]

same here, using GH Actions

[gabsmprocha]

@edbzn Any ideas to work around this problem? 🤔

[edbzn]

It's hard to say by just looking at the code sample, it can come from the way the repo is initialized in your CI, peraps the main branch is not fetched correctly.

[nhuray]

@gabsmprocha @hayawata3626 Did you find a workaround ?

[hayawata3626]

@nhuray No solution has been found yet.

[matheo]

@edbzn for me the git HEAD is going crazy, any hint please? is there something I could do to avoid this chain effect? are some of them running in parallel? :thinking:

Hi,

I had the same issue and found that nx affected "parallel" option has a default value of 3. Using --parallel=1 worked for me

[yp717]

Switching to --parallel=1 did not fix this issue

[yjaaidi]

There are two different issues here. Concerning the lock issue, it's a matter of parallel=1.

Otherwise, it feels like an issue with the way gitlab fetches the refs. Gitlab users, did you try setting GIT_STRATEGY to "clone"?

https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/runners/configure_runners.html

I Hope that this will help.

Having the same issue here, more than 1 year later. Any updates? Thanks!
