cask-repair: the requested upstream branch does not exists about tiny-scripts HOT 7 CLOSED

The branch exists. Delete it and try again.

from tiny-scripts.

I have done it several times - manually and with cask-repair --push MilusW --delete-branches. Still the same output.

cask-repair is able to successfully push new branch to my repository, commit changes, but it is unable to create pull request.

Edit your local copy of cask-repair and make the line 393 read git push -u "${remote_push}" "${cask_branch}" --quiet instead of git push "${remote_push}" "${cask_branch}" --quiet.

If that doesn’t work, I’ll have to abandon diagnosing it, as I cannot reproduce. Like in #20, I’ve spent a lot of time on this already, and it was all a waste. What I cannot reproduce I cannot fix unless I am given the cause (which was the case with that issue).

Unfortunately, it doesn't work. Thank you anyway

Thank you for reporting it. If you can get closer to the reason it is happening, I’ll take a look at it, but I’ve pretty much exhausted all the blind suggestions in #20. This is particularly hard to fix since hub seems to be the main culprit.

Sorry if I'm just adding noise by reopening. I had successfully used cask-repair previously, but today was having the same issues trying to update a different formula.

I think I narrowed down the issue to upstream handling in git branch, line 394. I exited the script after the failure and did some inspection. I was able to set origin as an upstream without a problem, and master was automatically used as the tracking branch. However, specifying my jbylsma remote would not work, returning

[/usr/local/Library/Taps/caskroom/homebrew-cask/Casks]
jbylsma$ git branch --set-upstream-to=jbylsma
error: the requested upstream branch 'jbylsma' does not exist

I reran the git branch using dtrace and noticed that there was a failed call to the remote's HEAD:

47746/0x392b1:  lstat64(".git/refs/remotes/jbylsma/HEAD\0", 0x7FFF548E6C70, 0x1000)              = -1 Err#2

origin still had it's HEAD, which is probably why I could switch to it. I'm not sure when I lost or if I ever had HEAD in jbylsma, but maybe that's the root hub issue.

Anyways, if the lack of HEAD is the culprit, the easiest fix is to explicitly set to the upstream to remote/branch. I was able to successfully use cask-repair with the upstream update, and I think the explicit upstream branch shouldn't cause any problems. I'll open a pull request with the change for review.

I have the same issue. Seems to it was not fixed yet.
