Failed to checkout Git repository: RESOURCE_DOES_NOT_EXIST: Attempted to move non-existing node

busuu — Wed, 05 Feb 2025 17:31:22 GMT

I'm having issues with checking out Git repo in Workflows.

Databricks can access files from commit `a` but fails to checkout the branch when attempting to access commit `b`. The error occurs specifically when trying to checkout commit `b`, and Databricks seems unable to access the files from this commit.

Here’s a brief overview of the problem:

Commit `a` works fine, and Databricks can access the files.
Commit `b` fails with an error: "Failed to checkout Git repository."
The repository is properly linked to the Workflow Task run details.
I’ve verified that commit `b` exists in the branch history and is accessible locally.

Could anyone offer a solution?

I had the same issue in our Azure Databricks workspace. There were jobs that failed immediately with the same exact error message plus the inability to pull the latest changes on branches from remote Repos. I had to reach out to DBX support and they applied a fix to my workspace. They said: "The root cause was identified as duplicated and deleted /Repos folders within the workspace"

Good to know you have encountered this issue before, can I ask what you did to resolve it?

I didn't do anything to fix it. Databricks support did something to my workspace to fix the issue.
