level=error msg="error generating params" error="error generating params from git: error retrieving Git files: rpc error: code = Internal desc = unable to resolve git revision : authentication required" generator="&{0xc000a1aec0 argocd}

I'm getting this after applying applicationset yaml.

root@job-DevOps-CH:~/# cat application-set.yaml
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: ApplicationSet

namespace: argocd

  I'm able to add repos with https on argocd gui. it is succesful. but when i apply conf file. then logs says this. How to fix it? Argocd version 7.4

@jithin-ch can you show the (redacted) cluster secret with which you're trying to use with the applicationset?

I have a similar issue and my secret looks as follows (note I have also tried creating without assigning it to a specific project)

kind: Secret
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: repo-982377143
  namespace: apps-gitops
data:
  password: <ACCESS-TOKEN>
  project: projectname
  type: git
  url: https://server-url/group/reponame.git
  username: not-used
type: Opaque

I think I found what the cause behind this is. In my secret I omitted the label which is as follows

apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: repo-982377143
  namespace: apps-gitops
  labels:
    argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repository
data:
  password: <ACCESS-TOKEN>
  project: projectname
  type: git
  url: https://server-url/group/reponame.git
  username: not-used
type: Opaque```

changing the label as follows results in the secret being used without the error

```kind: Secret
apiVersion: v1
metadata:
  name: repo-982377143
  namespace: apps-gitops
  labels:
    argocd.argoproj.io/secret-type: repo-creds
data:
  password: <ACCESS-TOKEN>
  project: projectname
  type: git
  url: https://server-url/group/reponame.git
  username: not-used
type: Opaque```
