I am getting a non-descript Gitlab CI error. Can anyone help me try to get a better error statement?

I have this non-descript CI error is it possible to get something more descript?

Code Snippet below:

$ semgrep-agent 
| versions - semgrep 0.81.0 on Python 3.9.10 
| environment - running in environment gitlab-ci, triggering event is 'pull_request' 
| manage - not logged in 
=== setting up agent configuration 
| using semgrep rules from https://semgrep.dev/c/p/security-audit 
| using semgrep rules from https://semgrep.dev/c/p/secrets 
An unexpected error occurred:

Solution

  • What could be happening is that you are setting the git_depth variable to something too low:

    variables:
   GIT_DEPTH: 1

    Semgrep needs to fetch commit history to do a diff-aware scan between the source and target branch, so limiting the git_depth might be the cause of some merge-related errors.
