Creating and deleting a repository in Bitbucket Cloud fails saying repo exists, but it's not visible in repo list

XMLWordPrintable

    • Severity 3 - Minor

      Issue Summary

      During a Bitbucket lab customers were asked to create repositories on a Bitbucket Cloud site: https://bitbucket.org/one-atlas-ddcp/workspace/repositories/

      A customer tried to create a repo and it failed with a 404.

      When the customer tried to create it again the site said the repo already existed.

      When the customer went to view all repositories and search for it, the repo was not present.

      We tried to create and delete and re-create repos a couple of times, and could intermittently trigger the behaviour.

       

      Steps to Reproduce

      Create a repo, get a 404

      Try to create the repo again

      This bug is intermittent

       

      See Loom for full details and an example: https://www.loom.com/share/30dbcf4fb4f243b68f4e17d2bcb723f4

       

      Expected Results

      Creating a repo will work properly and not produce a 404

      Deleting the repo will delete the repo

      Re-creating a repo with the name of a recently deleted repo will work

       

      Actual Results

      In this case the customer was not able to create a new repo with the same name as a deleted repo

       

      Workaround

      Here is a loom of the bug along with an explanation. This happened to more than one person during the lab.
