I am running Gitlab CE 18.0.2, but have observed this issue since a restore or 17.8.*.
I am unable to create a new project. When I try the form returns an error box with the heading “The form contains the following errors:”, and while there is a single bullet point it contains no text. See attached image.
Steps to reproduce
Attempt to create new project.
I have googled my butt off, but found nothing that would point me in any useful direction.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
I gave up on solving this. I tried a brand new clean Gitlab CE instead, and started migrating my projects into that.
It has proven to be painfully unstable. Maybe something is up with the 18.x version. Regardless, the situation is untenable and after 10+ years with Gitlab I’ll be looking for something else.
We could do with seeing the complete screenshot. I’m on Gitlab 18.1, and I’ve just managed to create a new empty project without any problems. I gave it a name test like you did, then I chose the group or namespace for it to be created under, and then the project appeared.
Sounds like something is broken with your installation, perhaps check if all migrations have finished and haven’t failed:
gitlab-rake db:migrate:status
if there are any problems, then do:
gitlab-rake db:migrate
to run the migrations. You can also do sanity checks to see if you have problems elsewhere:
gitlab-rake gitlab:check
or:
gitlab-rake gitlab:check SANITIZE=true
although depending on what problems are being encountered, migration to a clean install may be the only way forward. But either way, worth a try with the above.
