Hi,

I am trying to test saving of pipeline with a simple one step using 'Wait' activity. The git setting is pointing to a repo in Azure Git.

ADF-Git-Config

When I attempt to test saving the pipeline which is just a simple Wait which shows valid, it shows the error as below :
ADF-Git-Save

And it also shows Loading resources looping endlessly..
ADF-Git-Loading-Resources

I have included the below json in the file 'publish-config.json' file placed in the root folder in the branch FxRate_ADF.

{
    "publishBranch": "adf_publish"
}

Please advise, if any step missing here to fix the error when saving.

Thanks,

To add further, It is also giving error 'Failed to load custom templates'. This appears briefly when initially configuring the Azure git. When I validate the pipeline with Wait step it shows no error when validation.

@Srinivas Mehenderker Nath Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum and thanks for reaching out here.

Could you please confirm if this is the first time you are trying to associate repository with ADF, or it was setup up fine and getting this error all of sudden?

Also have you tried disassociating GIT configuration and reconfiguring Git to see if that makes difference.

In addition I would recommend to go through this document and see if you have missed anything while configuring GIT repository details with you ADF source control. ADF source control - Configure publishing settings

I just tried exactly the same thing in one of ADF with Azure DevOps Source Control and was able to save changes to Git Repository.

The error message isn't helpful but I'm assuming something wrong with the Source control Git repository configuration.

Please re-validate the configuration as per the official documentation steps and let us know if you notice anything.

Thank you

Hi @KranthiPakala-MSFT ,

Thank you for your response.

To answer your queries:

Yes, this is the first time I am associating repository with ADF on realising that the changes were disappearing unpredictably.

I have tried the option of disassociating and reconfiguring the git repository, and it still did not work.

I have followed the link you have shared.

I also noticed, the publish button remains disabled probably due to error in the pipeline page.

To further investigate at my end:

Since it worked at your end, could you please share your Git Config settings and the publish_config.json you have in the repo?

Can you direct me to link which gives details of permission settings required in Git?

When initially setting, it also shows this error 'Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getToken')'. I have not used any template. What is this error referring to?

Is there any way by which we can get the root cause of the error?

@Srinivas Mehenderker Nath - Thanks for the update.

Could you please confirm if you are trying to create a custom publish branch? I see that have created below file for custom publish branch but you have used the default branch name (adf_publish) instead of custom name (something different than default branch name - something like adf_publish_xxxxx or some other name but not adf_publish).

If your intent is not to create a custom publish branch, then I recommend avoid creating the above file, as the artifacts will by default created under adf_publish branch..

Since it worked at your end, could you please share your Git Config settings and the publish_config.json you have in the repo?

I don't have publish_config.json file created as I'm using default branch adf_publish.
If you have unintentionally created custom branch file - publish_config.json then I would recommend removing it and see if that helps to resolve the issue.

I also noticed that in the Git Configuration, you have configured the default publish branch, in that case you don't have to create a custom branch file - publish_config.json .

Below is my Git configuration:

Hope this info helps. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks

Thanks for your detailed response.

I tried your suggestion by removing the json file from the root of the colloboration branch which is dev in my case, main branch is not allowed as per policy.

Below is how my config looks like:

Still I am getting the same Git error as before followed by below error:

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getToken')

I am unable to get info on why the above error occurs, it is displayed twice briefly and no further info is displayed.

I would like to know possible reason why the above highlighed error occurs.

Srinivas

Thanks for getting back. This may need deeper analysis to better understand the root cause of the issue. The error message isn't helpful in analyzing the root cause.

If you have a support plan, please file a support ticket and do share the SR# with us here to track it internally. In case if you don't have a support plan, please let me know so that I can work with you offline in creating a onetime free support ticket.

Thank you for your response.

I agree this may require further investigation. To proceed further, I will confirm about the support plan and in case it is not available I would like to use the onetime free support.

I will update you again.

Hello! I have also an error message when trying to configure my Azure DevOps git, but within a Synapse workspace in my case.

The error message is different, but includes the one @Srinivas Mehenderker Nath has had:

'Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'getToken')'.

Could you please clarify for me what you mean with "resource group selected was not correct"?

Is it the parent resource group where your Data Factory resources are located in the Azure subscription? (which could include the Data Factory itself + some storages + other resources)

So, in my case, you mean that I should add the "Data Factory Contributor" RBAC role to my "resource group" that contains the Synapse workspace + my storage? Would the role be also "Data Factory Contributor"? I did not find any equivalent role for Synapse. Anyway, I tried this, as well as "Contributor" that should have more rights, but without success...

What I get is:

on DevOps, the Synapse resources have been imported in the repository

on the Synapse workspace, the pipelines/datasets are not showing up. They re-appear if I disconnect the Git configuration

I think that what's unclear to me, is: which entity should authorize which entity?

thanks for your help!

please ignore my above questions... For an unknown reason, after dozens of attempts, it finally worked, I don't understand why, as I did not change anything... sorry for the disturbance.
