Hello everyone, since yesterday i get a Generic Error during Pull or Push

 ---------- Source Control: Errors   (08.40.57)
Git client error code: Generic error.
Failed to update: S:\start2git
Failed to do Git pull.
 ---------- Finished Errors   (08.41.03)

The strange part is that it happened suddenly and only from my pc. Tried to log from another pc and everything is working fine.
I guess it is something relation to github authentication 'cause i get the error in the attachment if i try to relog to GitHub using my credentials.

I even tried to regenerate a new token but it keeps failing
Also tried to clone the remote repository using Tortoisegit Clone without success

is there something i can try to solve this?
any advice would be appreciated

tia,

simone

 

P.S.
PowerBuilder 2021 Build 1509

Git for windows 2.37.3

 

I have another project compiled using PowerBuilder 2022 and from there i get no errors. Is it possible a conflict between PB2021 and PB2022 regarding git authentication?

finally i've found the origin of this issue. it was in the .gitconfig configuration

changed this
[credential]
    helper = manager
    helper =
    helper = C:/Program\\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager-core.exe

to this
[credential]
    helper = manager

and now everything working fine

Hi Simone.

Also tried to clone the remote repository using Tortoisegit Clone without success

What's the actual git error message?

Hi again, i've finally decided to migrate to PB2022.

I've created the project on github from scratch and now i am able to connect to git, pull and push without errors.

Anyway i still get an error everytime i try to enable "Log all activity" from the source control properties window

Git detail error info: Entry is not unique due to being a multivar
Failed to set the Git server information. Error code: Generic error..

Any ideas?

Hi Simone,

 

We suggest that you try the following and see if it resolves the issue.

 

#1 Update local credentials

  • Go to Windows Credential Manager > Windows Credentials > Generic Credentials and remove the credentials corresponding to your Git server.
  • Try to connect to the repository using TortosieGit and see if it is successful.

 

#2 Check network

If you need to use a proxy to connect to the Internet, go to TortoiseGit > Settings > Network and see if the configuration is correct.

 

Regards,

Kitty

hi kitty, i'm not using a proxy

followed your advice deleting the credentials and reconnect using tortoisegit. Everything working fine except when i try to enable "Log all activity" from the source control properties window



"Git detail error info: Entry is not unique due to being a multivar

Failed to set the Git server information. Error code: Generic error.."



all the rest seems to work fine though

Hi Simone,

 

Log All Activity doesn't have anything to do with the Git connection. Please use a different log all activity path or another test case to troubleshoot the issue.

 

Regards,

Kitty
