I think the issue is here: https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/toddlers/blob/main/f/toddlers/plugins/scm_request_processor.py#_272 - if repo is created after a "valid" comment, the argument initial_commit is not set, ergo takes the default True value.

As opposed to another place in the code, where the function is called with the keyword: https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/toddlers/blob/main/f/toddlers/plugins/scm_request_processor.py#_498 (when repo is created after a "retry" comment via call to process_ticket()).

The solution, hopefully, is as simple as passing the keyword arg on line 272.

I merged the pull request, now we need to deploy it on both staging and production.

if you deploy it on staging, I can try to see if it helps

Deployed on staging.

Where is the staging deployment reading the issues from?

@churchyard https://stg.pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issues

Then I must have made a typo when I tried that :D

https://stg.pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/526

says:

Invalid body, missing required field: backend

There are a lot of commits that are currently in testing phase on staging. @amedvede How the requests should look now?

You could try adding "backend": "custom", perhaps

After that I got:

Invalid body, missing required field: project_name

I assume just setting monitor to no-monitoring should be enough for the request to go through.

Please reply "@releng-bot valid" to https://stg.pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/526

I tested it out on https://stg.pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/526 and originally hit 500 on src.stg.fedoraproject.org, but it was a wrong owner of the rpms directory, so I fixed that. The second retry worked with the repository created here https://src.stg.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3.15 without any commits.
Could you check if that is what you want?

Yes! Thank you, this is what we want.

I also opened https://stg.pagure.io/releng/fedora-scm-requests/issue/529 with "initial_commit": true so we can verify the fix did not regress.

Seems correct to me https://src.stg.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python3.666

Indeed. Thanks!

This is now deployed on production.

Thank you both!
