Bug: Error displayed for non VC'd resources when git ref is unknown

Octopus Cloud
1

Good morning,

I’m finding recently that I’m seeing errors when on pages for non version-controlled resources, such as channels, when the the git ref is unknown. For example, this could happen after I have merged a feature branch in to develop and deleted the feature branch, meaning the previously selected git ref no longer exists.

To resolve the issue, I must traverse to a page that is version-controlled, select an existing branch, and then return to the non version-controlled page, which is doable but obviously inconvenient.

For a resolution, if a previously selected git ref becomes unavailable, I’d love to see Octopus select the default branch automatically.

Here is the error I am seeing for reference.

An unexpected error occurred in Octopus v2023.2.2028: Cannot read properties of null (reading ‘Links’)

Thanks,
David

Hi @dgard1981,

Thank you for contacting Octopus Support and bringing this to our attention.

I’m currently working on reproducing this issue.

I’ll let you know once this is done. I’ll likely create a GitHub issue as well assuming I get the same results.

I appreciate your patience while I look into this.

Best Regards,
Donny
