Azure Devops is not allowing me to push updates

Question

I am trying to push updates to our Azure devops organization and it's giving me problems. I've tried all the suggestions that I have found on the web about deleting tenant.cache, replacing files with new credential manager files. I've tried signing out of all accounts and resigning in and nothing is working so far. This is what visual studio is telling me:

Pushing master
Logon failed, use ctrl+c to cancel basic credential prompt.
Error: cannot spawn askpass: No such file or directory
Error encountered while pushing to the remote repository: Git failed with a fatal error.
could not read Username for 'https://dev.azure.com': terminal prompts disabled

And this is the git log response:

I replaced organization name and repo with {ORGNAME}/repo for company safety

So it's saying it failed to:

07:49:36.614779 ...\Authority.cs:139 trace: [GeneratePersonalAccessToken] personal access token acquisition for 'https://dev.azure.com/' failed.

But in the team explorer it lets me connect to the Repo:

Answer 1

Azure Devops is not allowing me to push updates

According to the error git log:

[InteractiveLogon] token 'https://dev.azure.com/' successfully acquired.
[GetAccessTokenRequestBody] creating access token scoped to 'vso.code_write vso.packaging' for 'https://dev.azure.com/{ORGNAME}/'
GeneratePersonalAccessToken] failed to acquire personal access token for 'https://dev.azure.com/' [200].

It seems git did not get PAT(or valid PAT). You could try to use following method to resolve this issue:

• Remove the credentials for https://dev.azure.com/ which have been stored in Credential Manager.

  

  Then push again, git will let you input the credential for the repo. After inputing the username(email address) and password which can access the Azure devops account.

• Add the username & password or the Personal Access Token (PAT) in the git push command:

  git push https://username:password(or PAT)@dev.azure.com/username/reponame.git

Hope this helps.
