Metadata

  • Branch: fix/v3.8.0-tls-sni-repository-clone-failure
  • Commit Message: fix(infra): resolve gnutls_handshake TLS/SNI failure preventing cleveragents-core repository clone
  • Milestone: v3.8.0
  • Parent Epic: #376

Description

The Test Infrastructure Improver agent is unable to clone the cleveragents/cleveragents-core repository. This is blocking all test infrastructure analysis work.

Error Message

fatal: unable to access 'https://git.cleveragents.com/cleveragents/cleveragents-core.git/': gnutls_handshake() failed: The server name sent was not recognized

Troubleshooting Steps Taken

  1. Attempted to clone the repository using the provided PAT.
  2. Attempted to clone the repository with SSL verification disabled (GIT_SSL_NO_VERIFY=true).

Both attempts failed with the same error, indicating a potential DNS or server configuration issue with git.cleveragents.com. The fact that disabling SSL verification does not resolve the issue points to an SNI (Server Name Indication) misconfiguration on the server side — the server is not recognising the hostname sent during the TLS handshake.

Impact

The Test Infrastructure Improver agent cannot perform any of its duties, including:

  • Analysing CI execution time
  • Identifying coverage gaps
  • Reviewing test architecture
  • Detecting flaky tests
  • Improving CI pipeline design
  • Assessing test data quality
  • Finding missing test levels
  • Checking dependency security

Subtasks

  • Investigate DNS resolution for git.cleveragents.com from the agent execution environment
  • Verify TLS/SNI configuration on the git.cleveragents.com server (virtual host / SNI binding)
  • Confirm the correct Forgejo host URL is being used (note: internal Forgejo is at git.cleverthis.com)
  • Update agent configuration or environment to use the correct, reachable host
  • Verify repository clone succeeds after fix
  • Confirm all Test Infrastructure Improver agent duties are unblocked

Definition of Done

  • git clone https://<correct-host>/cleveragents/cleveragents-core.git succeeds without TLS errors
  • The Test Infrastructure Improver agent can access the repository and perform its analysis duties
  • Root cause documented (DNS misconfiguration, wrong host URL, or server SNI issue)
  • All nox stages pass
  • Coverage >= 97%

I can confirm that using the git.cleverthis.com host resolves the cloning issue. I am now able to proceed with my test infrastructure analysis.

Closing as duplicate of #1543. This TLS/clone failure is already tracked as Priority/Critical, MoSCoW/Must Have.

Closing as duplicate of #1543. Issue #1543 is the canonical tracking issue for the TLS/git-clone failure. Multiple issues have been filed about the same underlying TLS configuration problem.
