Unable to download the source code in Azure DevOps Release

Question

I have spring boot application in Azure Repo. I'm trying to deploy the application using docker on Azure App Service through Azure DevOps Release Pipeline. Having an issue to download the source code artifacts in the release pipeline.

Error Message:

Please advice.

Answer 1

The reason of the question may be that your Git and Git LFS versions are too low.

You can try to upgrade to the latest versions to see if the question is resolved.

PS If you are using Microsoft-hosted agent for windows and linux, the pre-installed version of GIT LFS is 2.12.1 . Try to update it to 2.13.1 .
