Describe the Bug

When trying to do a test run of an automation I get the error seen in the screenshot.

Steps to Reproduce

Create an automation with the following JSON structure.

{
“name”: “",
“triggers”: [
{
“cron”: {
“cron”: "20 4 * * "
}
}
],
“actions”: [
{
“mcp”: {
“server”: {
“id”: “1096119”,
“name”: “playwright-mcp”
}
}
}
],
“prompts”: [
{
“prompt”: ""
}
],
“agentOptions”: {
“privateWorker”: {
“labels”: [
{
“key”: “name”,
“value”: ""
},
{
“key”: “cursor.private_worker.shared_assignment_allowed”,
“value”: “true”
}
]
}
},
“memoryEnabled”: true,
“scope”: “private”,
“gitConfig”: {
“repo”: "https://gitlab.com/",
“repos”: [
"https://gitlab.com/**”
],
“branch”: “”
}
}

Expected Behavior

I’d expect to be able to do a test run and if a default branch is needed I should have an option to specify it.

Does this stop you from using Cursor

Yes - Cursor is unusable

Hey, thanks for the detailed report. The JSON and screenshot really helped. This is a bug on our side. For individual Pro accounts without a team, the automation context does not fetch the user or team ID, and resolving the default branch fails with this error. I’ve reported it internally.

While we’re fixing it, here’s a working workaround. Set the branch explicitly in gitConfig instead of an empty string, so auto-resolve won’t run:

"gitConfig": {
  "repo": "https://gitlab.com/***",
  "repos": ["https://gitlab.com/***"],
  "branch": "main"
}

Replace main with the branch you need. After that, Run Test should pass.

I can’t share an ETA for the fix yet, but I’ll reply in the thread once there’s an update.
