Dear experts,
In my CI/CD pipeline, I want to use the main branch of my submodule project instead of the master branch.
Therefore I added the branch attribute to my .gitmodules:
[submodule "roles/linux-trendmicro-ds-agent"]
path = roles/linux-trendmicro-ds-agent
url = ../../modules/ansible/linux-trendmicro-ds-agent.git
branch = main
My GITLAB variables in .gitlab-ci.yml:
GIT_SUBMODULE_STRATEGY: normal
GIT_SUBMODULE_UPDATE_FLAGS: --no-single-branch --remote --jobs 1
However, the CI/CD job ends up with this error:

Any help greatly appreciated,
