Issue/Introduction

New Endevor Bridge for Git (B4G) installation.

Endevor Bridge for Git (B4G) mapping activity shows message:
Unable to fetch Bridge for Git App Activity for repository ##.##.#.# because of error:
fetch failed.

When using “Add to mapping” for an element under “Bridge for Git Explorer” it shows message:
Add element into mapping error: fetch failed with details: undefined.

The git-bridge.log file also contains:
===

Also running zowe cli to perform the same "Add to mapping" fails:
zowe endevor-bridge-for-git mapping add-element MY-CONTEXT MY-MAPPING --name MY-ELEMENT-NAME --type MY-ELEMENT-TYPE

Command Error:
http(s) request error event called

Error Details:
HTTP(S) client encountered an error. Request could not be initiated to host.
Review connection details (host, port) and ensure correctness.

Protocol: https

Host: ##.##.#.# 

Port: 8040

Base Path: rest/evcs/v1

Resource: repositories?context=Non-Tech-DOT&repository=XXXXXXXXXXXX&search=false

Request: GET

Headers: [{"Content-Type":"application/json"},{"Accept":"application/json"}]

Payload: undefined
===

The git_bridge.log contains the same "HTTP method names must be tokens" exception.

 

Cause

There was an http/https conflict.

Resolution

For initial testing, B4G is running on a Windows server with http and not https, but the config files were using https.
After changing the config files to use http, the add element to mapping was successful.

Additional Information

The "HTTP method names must be tokens" exception could also be caused when an http client (Zowe CLI or B4G Explorer extension) is trying to use an https enabled connection.
