What should I do when encountering a missing build branch error?

Description

Potential cause

This error occurs during merge requests if one of the following is true:

• The ACQUIA_JOBS_CREATE_BRANCH_ARTIFACT environment variable is not set to true. The branch artifact must be created so that it can be pushed to Cloud Platform.
• The source branch exists on a fork instead of the main repository.

Solution

• To create the branch artifact:
  • Add the ACQUIA_JOBS_CREATE_BRANCH_ARTIFACT environment variable to your project.

  • Set the value of ACQUIA_JOBS_CREATE_BRANCH_ARTIFACT to true.

    For more information, see Adding environment variables.

• If the source branch does not exist in the main repository:
  • Push the source branch to the main Code Studio project repository.
  • Create the merge request without using a forked repository.

• Before you create a merge request using the target branch:

  • Ensure that the target branch successfully passes a Code Studio pipeline.
  • Deploy the target branch to Cloud Platform.
