Hello,

I successfully configured my Source control (it’s an azure devops 2020 on-premise) in Nexus Lifecycle, but when I take a look at the logs I have the following error:

2023-05-25 08:32:37,969+0000 ERROR [PullRequestMonitor-0] com.sonatype.insight.brain.git.PullRequestMonitor - Failed to retrieve head commit data for repository URL [https://azuredevops.fr/default/toto/\_git/toto.Core](https://azuredevops.fr/default/toto/_git/toto.Core).

I can’t figure out what’s wrong, can you help me ?

I deployed Nexus Lifecycle on kubernetes (docker container) and my Azure Devops is deployed on a Windows Server 2016.

Thanks for your help.

Best regarde
