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:
  1. Add the ACQUIA_JOBS_CREATE_BRANCH_ARTIFACT environment variable to your project.

  2. 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:
  1. Push the source branch to the main Code Studio project repository.
  2. Create the merge request without using a forked repository.

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

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