git lfs batch error: Fatal error: Server error when pushing lfs tracked files

[Viktor Govze]

Dear all,

I am having issues when pushing some .pdf files onto the Bitbucket server using git lfs. I didn't use lfs before, so I did everything as described on https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/git-lfs#creating-new-repository. This procedure works if I use GitHub, which gives me the impression that I am not doing it wrong - it also tracks the LFS files correctly.

I get the following git lfs error log when doing it with Bitbucket (exactly the same conditions as for GitHub):

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The issue appears to be similar to the one reported https://github.com/git-lfs/git-lfs/issues/1858, but I am not sure if it's still aplicable.

If anyone has any idea on what to do, I'd be happy to know. To my best knowledge, there is no post on this topic on this forum.

Best regards,

Viktor

Hi everyone,

We identified a bug that was causing issues with pushing LFS files to Bitbucket Cloud repositories.

A fix for this issue has been deployed to production. Please try to push again now, and let us know if you encounter any further problems.

Kind regards,
Theodora

Oh, I have a similar problem. For some reason I think Bitbucket has the problem, because the service is giving away 500

[Арасланов Евгений]

I found the problem. In order for the files to upload, you need to first push .gitattributes to the remote repository

[viakmaky]

I am experiencing the exact same error with the same stacktrace on a new repository I created yesterday.

Everything points to it being a server side issue with Bitbucket, as I can't see anything in my end I could change that would affect it.

[Арасланов Евгений]

See my last answer. you need to first push .gitattributes to the remote repository

[viakmaky]

They actually fixed the issue on the server since yesterday. Push on the same repo now works without any changes.

I already followed the official guide which had you push .gitattributes first in a separate commit, so that wasn't my issue.

I am having similiar issue with `git lfs push` as documented following this guide. https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/duplicating-a-repository#mirroring-a-repository-that-contains-git-large-file-storage-objects
