Cannot determine currently running branch/invalid argument (22)

Unsure how to resolve this issue.

After some digging, I think I figured it out. This may be a regression of https://github.com/openwrt/asu/commit/85392c0e44e05916a16d437940639ce819f409c3.

@aparcar You removed path_packages from the branches API, as it is supposedly never really used. However, if I understood correctly, auc will not process any branches that lack this field, as it is considered mandatory: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/blob/master/utils/auc/src/auc.c#L1203-L1207.

Side-note: you added the latest releases in https://github.com/openwrt/asu/commit/6ce5023d32410c82752e043ed2e126eee03b9422, but this does not seem to be live on https://sysupgrade.openwrt.org/json/v1/branches.json yet.

Thank you for digging, @Danacus . That probably explains why I could upgrade to 23.05.2 but not to 23.05.3.

[benhedrington]

@Danacus thank you for helping progress on this bug.

Are you aware of anything I can do on my side to help auc understand my current branch like some sort of argument or setting?

[Danacus]

I don't think there's anything we can do, since auc will not process any of the branches from the sysupgrade server.

I think the only options are:

• fix auc to ignore the path_packages field
• fix the asu server by reverting the commit that removes this field from the branches endpoint, and host your own asu server
• wait for a fix to be applied on sysupgrade.openwrt.org
• use the luci interface, which might still work

Still a thing:

Sorry will try to take care of it soonish

[aparcar]

I think this fixed it, now I just have to deploy the fresh docker containers which takes a bit since the CI is bloated again https://github.com/openwrt/asu/commit/c0104cd849bf5f8d13edc1b7175665615e89d58e

[aparcar]

Should be fixed, please try again and close this issue if successful.

[Danacus]

This solved the issue for me. Thanks a lot!
