Github author information

Question

I'm using Github as a source in code build and using webhook (PULL_REQUEST_CREATED, PULL_REQUEST_UPDATED, PULL_REQUEST_REOPENED), but when I generate a pull request or update a pull request I want to access the last commit author info ( author name and email )

I'm using the command: git log -1 --format="%an <%ae>" But it will throw an error

[Container] 2022/07/08 18:17:46 Phase context status code: COMMAND_EXECUTION_ERROR Message: Error while executing the command: git log -1 --format="%an <%ae>". Reason: exit status 128

I'm not able to access author info based on the last commit

Accepted Answer

The error you're getting sounds like it could have something to do the clone depth on CodeBuild, which by default is 1.

In your build project, try _Edit > Source_, expanding the additional configuration, and try changing the _Git clone depth_ to _Full_ to begin with. If that works, you might be able to reduce the depth to speed up the build.

Answer

Exit status 128 can mean a number of things. Do you get any other messages above that line in the logs? There should be a more verbose error message that might help.

It should look something like this:
```
[Container] 2022/01/01 00:00:00 Running command git log -1 --format="%an <%ae>" --test
fatal: unrecognized argument: --test
```
