Git™ Version Control: Information about the most recent deployment is unavailable.

Symptoms

You may see "Information about the most recent deployment is unavailable." in the "Pull or Deploy" tab in cPanel > Files > Git Version Control. This article aims to guide you towards determining the cause of this message.

Description 

The Git Version Control interface stores information about the last deployment in the file, "/home/username/.cpanel/datastore/vc_list_store". The cPanel environment writes a log of each deployment located at /home/username/.cpanel/logs/vc_TIMESTAMP_git_deploy.log

Workaround

You can find the log's location for the last deployment with the VersionControlDeployment::retrieve uapi call. Run the following command as the cPanel user:

uapi VersionControlDeployment retrieve

Or as root:

uapi --user=username VersionControlDeployment retrieve

After running this command, use the "less" or the "cat" command to view the log_path in the output which should show any errors that may have occurred during the deployment, usually as a result of an error caused by something in the .cpanel.yml file.

cat /home/user/.cpanel/logs/vc_1596036143.12345_git_deploy.log
