Generally speaking, yes it is better to raise issues in the right place since other people will find it there, and that plugin is not even under the main two Gocd GitHub orgs (I happen to also be a maintainer on it, but that's just due to history).
The URLs are validated against some "simple" regex for some reason, which doesn't allow spaces. I don't know where that logic came from. Possibly copy+pasted from some sample plugin or some old code within the GoCD server originally. https://github.com/TWChennai/gocd-git-path-material-plugin/blob/0d6f256e2d07831c022d97d21b50c778331b4249/src/main/java/com/thoughtworks/go/scm/plugin/util/Validator.java#L12 https://github.com/TWChennai/gocd-git-path-material-plugin/blob/0d6f256e2d07831c022d97d21b50c778331b4249/src/test/java/com/thoughtworks/go/scm/plugin/util/ValidatorTest.java On Wed, 7 May 2025 at 00:01, Jason Smyth <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > We seem to be encountering an issue with the git-path plugin related to > URLs with spaces in them. > > Sample error when passing url-encoded spaces: > jvm 1 | 2025-05-06 15:37:40,506 INFO [151@MessageListener for > MaterialUpdateListener] MaterialDatabaseUpdater:124 - [Material Update] > Modification check failed for material: [url= > https://dev.azure.com/MyOrg/ProjectName%20Has%20Spaces/_git/some_repo, > username=myUser, password={{SECRET:[logins][myUser.PAT]}}, > auto_update=true, branch=main, path=path/to/folder/] cause: > java.lang.RuntimeException: The plugin sent a response that could not be > understood by Go.
