Git https push The requested URL returned error: 500

I’m unable to reproduce this issue. Without an original error message, I can not attempt to correlate this with any logs.

Does your workplace have any proxies or firewalls that might be affecting the HTTP Auth headers? Can you try from another network?

If the issue persists on other networks, please paste the full git command you are using, and full output? And prefix the git command like GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git push …. Be sure to redact any credentials, but do leave the exact remote URI. More information is at https://docs.gitlab.com/topics/git/troubleshooting_git/

Thx @drumm for your quick reply, i tried also on another network, with and without tunnels etc. still having the same issue.

This is my example issue fork:

$ git remote show pathalias_extend-3543394

fatal: unable to access 'https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/pathalias_extend-3543394.git/': The requested URL returned error: 500 

That does lead to a good backtrace in GitLab

   "exception.class" : "NoMethodError",
   "exception.message" : "undefined method `include?' for nil:NilClass",

in

      "lib/gitlab/auth/ip_rate_limiter.rb:37:in `block in trusted_ip?'",
      "lib/gitlab/auth/ip_rate_limiter.rb:37:in `any?'",
      "lib/gitlab/auth/ip_rate_limiter.rb:37:in `trusted_ip?'",
      "lib/gitlab/auth/ip_rate_limiter.rb:43:in `skip_rate_limit?'",
      "lib/gitlab/auth/ip_rate_limiter.rb:31:in `banned?'",
      "lib/gitlab/auth.rb:122:in `find_for_git_client'",

So it seems there’s some edge case with involving GitLab’s rate limiting implementation

I couldn’t find a relevant existing issue, so I filed a new one. Since this is an exception internal to GitLab, we’ll want to wait for their fix or workaround.

Thank you very much @drumm !
FYI just tried again after a full weekend and the problem still the same for me.

I was helping somebody in slack and I ran into this. This happens when using the "https" URL for the repo.

So, for example, in this issue https://www.drupal.org/project/acquia_purge/issues/3523565 ✨ Create new purger service to support multiple CDN providers Active , it happens when you use:

git remote add acquia_purge-3523565 git@git.drupal.org:issue/acquia_purge-3523565.git

But not when you use:
(first time)
git remote add acquia_purge-3523565 https://git.drupalcode.org/issue/acquia_purge-3523565.git

(if the fork was already cloned)
git remote set-url acquia_purge-3523565 git@git.drupal.org:issue/acquia_purge-3523565.git

So the workaround is to use the "git@..." repo URL.

We’ve had some other reports that have potential to be the same issue. We need the line with the correlation_id from GIT_CURL_VERBOSE=1 git push to confirm it is the same issue, or track down something else. For example:

17:22:43.565250 http.c:662 <= Recv header: X-Gitlab-Meta: {"correlation_id":"01K3V6S15E9B305CFY6QCCRABF","version":"1"}

@drumm

Here you have a "fresh" one from just now:

X-Gitlab-Meta: {"correlation_id":"01K44HCPR8KGR6AZDXZHPK97YM","version":"1"}

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/566636 did get at least one bugfix backport moving in GitLab. They did spot a typo in our configuration which was very likely to be the cause. I’ve corrected the typo and reconfigured, so I expect this to be resolved. Please reopen with details if this does happen again.

That´s a great finding! Works again, big THX
