Cannot select master branch

[1egoman]

@johanneskoester Can you provide more information:

• What repositories are you trying to link?
• Can you provide a screenshot?
• If the save button is disabled, that means you either didn't give the link a name (Biome in the below example), or you didn't configure From or To correctly (if you didn't select a branch on one of the links, then you wouldn't be able to save).

I try to sync to all forks, but the problem is really that I cannot select the master branch. We have branch protection activated (disallowing pushes to master). Could that be the problem?

[1egoman]

@johanneskoester Possibly. Let me give it a try on my end.

@johanneskoester

I've tried a few different api calls:

• curl https://api.github.com/repos/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/branches | grep master - what backstroke does currently behind the scenes.
• curl -H 'Content-Type: application/vnd.github.loki-preview+json' https://api.github.com/repos/bioconda/bioconda-recipes/branches?protected=true | grep master - with the protected branch api which is in preview.

Neither of them seem to return your master branch. I have another repository of mine that I can't see the master branch on either, and the api returns similar results, and it doesn't use a protected branch, so I doubt that's the issue unfortunately.

A few things that you can do to help:

• Do either of the above commands return anything if you run them on your end?
• If you're willing to turn off branch protection temporarily and then give Backstroke a try that'd be a helpful datapoint. (You should be able to turn it back afterwards.)

[johanneskoester]

I just tried. Same results. Also, deactivating branch protection does not help.

[johanneskoester]

Maybe this is about paging? We have a lot of branches...

[johanneskoester]

Yes, that's it. If I add ?per_page=10000 I get the master branch. Maybe you don't properly walk through the pages in your implementation?

[1egoman]

@johanneskoester That could be true. Let me take a look.

[1egoman]

Yep, that's it. #57 is a short term solution but I'll add a note to do this properly later.

[johanneskoester]

Thanks!

@johanneskoester The hotfix has been pushed, let me know if this solves your issue.

[johanneskoester]

Thanks!
