13.2.0 causes 422 (Unprocessable Entity) due to missing ref

[syphernl]

After updating from 13.1.0 to 13.2.0 releases are now failing with 422 (Unprocessable Entity):

POST'ing the same body using cURL on the CLI results in a more clear error message:

{"message":"Ref is not specified"}

Also, according to the release notes this error message should have been logged directly by this plugin but does not appear to be the case in this particular instance.

Hi @syphernl. Can you share:

• your semantic-release configuration?
• maybe all of the logs?
• maybe even the repository?
• and what Gitlab version are you using - self hosted or gitlab.com?

I am asking because I am not able to reproduce your issue. All of our repositories which are using version 13.2.0 are succeeding without problems.

As for the logging:
The logging was adjusted to the configurations which were introduced in 13.1.0. The error message now returns The message of the parsed response body.
I agree with you though, that we can improve it further to log if possible more details.

[syphernl]

We run Semantic-release 24.0.0 on our self-hosted (private) GitLab instance.

Downgrading the plugin to 13.1.0 makes it properly release again. I expected the logs of this plugin/semantic-release to contain the "Ref is not specified" error I got when it tried to release.

Thanks for sharing the information @syphernl!

Downgrading the plugin to 13.1.0 makes it properly release again. I expected the logs of this plugin/semantic-release to contain the "Ref is not specified" error I got when it tried to release.

Just to re-iterate: The exact same commit releases properly with 13.1.0 and fails with 13.2.0?

Would you mind sharing your configuration?

Yes, the commit failed with 13.2.0 and worked fine once we downgraded back to 13.1.0:

Thanks for sharing the logs @syphernl! I cannot see anything suspicious though.

Would you please enable debug mode and then provide log files of both the successful (using 13.1.0) as well the failing (using 13.2.0) run?
