Can't synchronize GitLab repositories anymore

Steps to reproduce the issue:

1. Go to Gitlab and open User Settings > Applications
2. Revoke Repman from the list of Authorized Applications
3. Unlink GitLab from Repman User settings
4. Go to https://app.repman.io/organization//package
5. Click on Add package
6. Select GitLab
7. Authenticate with GitLab
8. Authorize Repman to access your GitLab repositories
9. Select the repositories to be synchronized
10. Click Add
11. In the list of packages, all packages appear with a red message saying "SYNCHRONIZATION ERROR"

SYNCHRONIZATION ERROR

Error: Failed to execute git clone --mirror -- 'https://oauth2:***@gitlab.com/<organization>/<package>.git' '/home/repman/.composer/cache/vcs/git-gitlab.com-<organization>-<package>.git/'

A colleague of mine managed to add the packages without any issue following the same steps as me. Unsure why.

Could it be related to this issue?

looks more like #589

[gsusI]

Doesn't feel like. Repman was able to get the list of repositories, suggesting that the tokens were fine.

Also, I didn't get a 500 error, nor a Bad Request.

[Fahl-Design]

hm ok, did you check the token itself?
there is an endpoint for that:

https://gitlab.com/oauth/token/info?access_token=<YOUR_TOKEN>

maybe it is missing a scope

We also get the same since updating our Gitlab from 14 to 15. It's just happening to existing packages if someone releases a new version.

I'm getting this error when downloading the source, only dist is working.

Having the same issue with our self-hosted GitLab instance. Sync stopped working after the upgrade to GitLab 15. I had to remove the OAuth application configuration in GitLab and set it up again. After that things seem to work normally again.

[temp]

Same Problem here. Tried to re-register the oauth app in gitlab (self hosted), as stated by @shochdoerfer , but still the same git error as mentioned above. Any hints? We also upgrade from gitlab 14.x to 15.1 on friday, so this seems related.

[shochdoerfer]

@temp I gave the OAuth app in GitLab almost all (read-only permissions) because I was not sure which ones are the correct ones. Maybe you could give this a try as well.

[Fahl-Design]

I still think it's related to #589 with it's root cause of expired refresh tokens.
The refresh token is never updated without #596

[temp]

We applied MR #596 and emptied the user_oauth_token table, after that it worked again.
@shochdoerfer we tried that before, but without success. Now we are back to api and read_users, as stated in the docs.

[temp]

... and now it's not working anymore -_-
Now I'm getting a Bad Request when he tries to fetch a new token from gitlab via /oauth/token.

[f3l1x]

Same error at me.

[shochdoerfer]

Ran into the issue again. After truncating the user_oauth_token db table, deleting and re-creating the GitLab app, it works again.

Found a workaround:

The token expires every day.
Go to the database > user_oauth_token. Delete token for the GitLab.
After that, go to the Admin UI > Packages > Add new package > Select GitLab and wait. This will generate a new token and will work for a day.

I already did that, you don't even need to go to the database to delete, just go to your user in the interface, and unlink Gitlab Account.

I think that even the only solution will be to create a schedule in the project that does this every day from time to time.

Now I'm getting this error when selecting repositories from gitlab:
