I use self hosted gitlab version 12.8.6
Can anybody describe what this error mean? What’s Template::Error (undefined method `gsub’ for nil:NilClass):?
Hi,
the error means that the method gsub is being invoked on an undefined object. This typically is a programming error as the code should never reach this area, with null checks beforehand.
Please upgrade to the latest stable release and verify that the issue is solved. Also, run possible pending database migration tasks first.
Cheers,
Michael
I found the solution
A few weeks ago we enable youtrack integration
This integration enables in general settings menu, and this setting distributed for each repo
But (i don’t know why) in a few repo this internal setting will be blank (enables, but the fields are blank)
I change fields to a right links and all okay!
@dnsmichi A couple days ago i upgrade this gitlab to a new version - of cource it’s not resolve a problem
Hi,
ah, integrations. Yes, that makes sense. Glad you’ve spotted this yourself. 
The reason I am mentioning upgrades - it is easier to rule out possible changes when everyone uses the same versions, and allows to suggest to create a bug report in case. Older versions like 12.x remain unsupported and are harder to do a changelog and code diff. Hence my suggestion to make it easier for everyone to help each other 
Cheers,
Michael
We meet the same error with selfhosted gitlab 14.0.1-ee (docker version).

Now repository/commits link does not work (error 500) for some projects, and
some files can not be opened in gitlab GUI (error 500).
Youtrack disabling does not help.
Seems like now it is about Jira:
