Cause

Cause #1 - Git executable not available

Fisheye was not able to detect where Git executable (git.exe for a Windows Server) is located.

Cause #2 - Repository details are incorrect

At least one of the following things is incorrect:

• The Git URL
• The authentication type selected
• The credentials specified

Resolution

Resolution for Cause #1 - Git executable not available

Set the absolute Git executable path by going to FishEye Administration > Global Settings > Server > Git executable > Edit Details. The Git executable file is usually located in the bin directory found inside the directory into which Git is installed, typically C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe in Windows environments.

FE-4543 - Getting issue details... STATUS  is a request to provide a clearer message when the Git executable is not available.

Resolution for Cause #2 - Repository details are incorrect

Make sure that the Git URL, the authentication type and the provided credentials are correct.

You can test the expected Git URL by running:

git config --get remote.origin.url
