Git repo - The system cannot deploy automatically

[alanski]

I have successfully setup repos on github and automated deployments from github to my WHM server.
I have now tried a repo on a CPanel account.
I can push changes from my local laptop to the CPanel server no problem.
However the yaml file is not deploying automatically.
When I login to the push pull screen i see the message:

For deployment, ensure that your repository meets the following requirements:

1. A valid .cpanel.yml file exists. For more information, read our documentation.
2. No uncommitted changes exist on the checked-out branch.
   

I have linted the Yaml file below and it is valid, and I have a clean tree with no commits waiting.
Documentation doesn't steer me to any logs to check.
---
deployment:
tasks:
- export DEPLOYPATH=/home/path/folder
- /bin/cp -R web $DEPLOYPATH

So what's the problem?

Hi @alanski

The documentation here: Guide to Git - For System Administrators - cPanel Knowledge Base - cPanel Documentation includes some troubleshooting steps including some locations of logs.

Is there anything noted in the log files in relation to this:

Note:


This feature logs messages and errors to the following locations:

• /usr/local/cpanel/logs/error_log — Errors and stack traces.
• /home/username/.cpanel/logs/user_task_runner.log — Queue-related items.
• /home/username/.cpanel/logs/vc_TIMESTAMP_git_create.log — Creation-related issues, where TIMESTAMP represents the time of the operation.
• /home/username/.cpanel/logs/vc_TIMESTAMP_git_deploy.log — Deployment-related issues, where TIMESTAMP represents the time of the operation.

I have gone thru the basic setup again.
I have a repo on local. I can add files and commit and push from local to Cpanel repo.
Tree is clean. Yaml exists at top of tree and is valid YAML format

Still the push/pull screen shows
"The system cannot deploy"

There are no deploy errors as nothing is deploying. This seems completely unusable as far as I can tell. Its frustrating as I use 3rd party deployment services to deploy from local->github->WHM with no issues and I wanted to by pass them and just go straight to cpanel.....
