Manifest Locking Error when "/" is in the branch name

Looker Q&A Looker
1

I would like to use branches named release/*

But when I refer it in **remote_dependency** field I get the error **Manifest Locking Error** **undefined method repo’ for nil:NilClass**`.

I suppose that’s because of **/** in the branch name.

I did a test. Created branches “test/test” and “test_test”.

  • If I refer “test_test” it works well
  • If I refer “test/test” I have the error

Is it really not possible to use “/” in the branch name?

Hi Eugene,

I’m Noura from Looker Support. This is an unexpected behavior, Looker should be able to accept branch name with slash “/”.

This issue will be reported to the engineering team and we will follow up with you with via the ticket you already opened for this issue.

Thank you for bringing up this issue to our attention.

Best,

Noura
