Issue under github widget- No repos found with matching url and branch - github

Question

I am setting everything according to the docs. Why is the app returning the error at the bottom of the dialog below 'Save'? The repo exists!
EDIT
The api server log reports that it's trying to run a query on the options.url on the collector items collection, but the collection item doesn't have this field set up:

Answer 1

I spent a lot of time investigating. I was able to work around the issue by adding manually the repo url and branch to the collector_items entry for GitHub/SCM in the dashboarddb mongodb. The submit() function in the UI is not working correctly. The field is not in url.options.url because url contains the string. Finally, the dashboardId is set wrongly on the collector_items. It pointed to Product while it should have pointed to SCM collector.
