Whenever I try to create a PR I get

[Debug 28373s 194ms] GitHubRepository> Creating pull requests failed: HttpError: Validation Failed

right after I choose target branch

• Extension version: 0.8.0
• VSCode Version: 1.35.1 (1.35.1)
• OS: MacOS Mojave

2. restart VScode

I believe I am having the same issue trying to create a pull request when following
the steps above, creating a new pull request using the '+' option using a local
and published branch. Output shown below.

I was able to create the pull request manually using the 'hub pull-request' command,
and once created I was able to see and navigate around in the pull request using the
extension which is great. I am stuck trying to use the extension to create the PR from
a branch.

Unfortunately, the logs aren't currently detailed enough to know what the exact cause is - there are several reasons why validation might fail when creating a pull request. One common one is there being no difference in commits between the target branch and the current branch. Possibly the extension isn't correctly setting a title.

I have already check in a change that should fix the way we format the error from GitHub, so there should be more details in both the extension output log and in the notification. This is available in the nightly version of the extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=GitHub.vscode-pull-request-github-insiders), can you give it a try there to see if there's more information? Note that if you do install the nightly version, you should disable the normal version of the extension so that they don't conflict with each other

Extension version 0.12.0 should now show a more detailed error notification when this happens - please let me know what you see

@jzsplk Was there any additional information in the error? What version of the extension are you using?

I had the same issue. it appears that I was logged in with my private github user and not with the github user I have for work.
after logging in with my work user I was able to create the PR

I keep getting this warning when trying to create a pull request:

Creating pull requests for 'Scyfren:Scyfren/issue18' failed: Validation Failed: Value "undefined" cannot be set for field undefined (code: custom)

I'm sure that I'm putting in a title name when using custom. This even shows up when trying to use the commit and branch option. I think it started happening when I accidentally tried to create a pull request using the custom option but with no title.

Reproduced with plugin version v0.18.0 and VS Code 1.47.3 with git version 2.27.0.windows.1 on Windows 10 1909.

I also get this with visual code 1.47.3 running on ubuntu 18.04.1 VM in azure. The full error message is

Creating pull requests for 'mrevow:master' failed: Validation Failed: Value "undefined" cannot be set for field undefined (code: custom)

I tried back and forth and have found some kind of rules(?) where it doesn't complain validation error and works fine.
The new_branch that you want to merge into master has to exist at repository.
Create branch at your local environment -> push that branch to the repository -> And make a PR for master branch
Doing like this works for me so far.

Seems this issue has been open a long time with many people hitting it.

Can't anything be done about it?

[sebride4988]

I solved it by clearing the code source and doing a fresh clean copy.
I guess the git config was wrong.
I hope my solution will help others.

[alexr00]

I think everyone who's seeing this is trying to create a PR where the "from" and "into" branches have the same head. We now show a better message:

If anyone is seeing something other than that, please comment!
