Xcode 5 Bots - Internal Checkout Error - dictionary scmType is nil

Hi,


I'm attempting to get Xcode 5.0.2 setup with Mavericks server as a CI environment, and running in to an issue.


According to the logs, the repo (git repo with some submodules) is checking out just fine. However, the process errors out right before a build begins. Here's the relevant portion of the log:


Nov 21 11:08:45 server.private xcsbuildd[30178] <Error>: [XCSOperation.m:33 783a0310 +0ms] Error Domain=XCSBuildServiceDomain Code=-1 "SCM dictionary scmType is nil" UserInfo=0x7f956050c9e0 {NSLocalizedDescription=SCM dictionary scmType is nil}

Nov 21 11:08:45 server.private xcsbuildd[30178] <Debug>: [XCSOperation.m:28 783a0310 +0ms] Cancelling operation: XCSCheckoutOperation Nov 21 11:08:45 server.private xcsbuildd[30178] <Error>: [XCSBuildBundle.m:680 783a0310 +0ms] Got an error from the checkout operation: Error Domain=XCSBuildServiceDomain Code=-1 "SCM dictionary scmType is nil" UserInfo=0x7f956050c9e0 {NSLocalizedDescription=SCM dictionary scmType is nil}


In case it's relevant, immediately before, I see the following (which prints out all of the branches in the repo):


Nov 21 11:08:43 server.private xcsbuildd[30178] <Debug>: [XCSCheckoutOperation.m:505 783a0310 +1614ms] About to switch git branch to master Nov 21 11:08:45 server.private xcsbuildd[30178] <Debug>: [XCSCheckoutOperation.m:573 783a0310 +1817ms] Got git heads: {

....


In the source code logs, it looks like every thing (including the submodules) checked out fine (I can also navigate to the source on the server and see everything is there):


Submodule 'ABContactHelper' (https://github.com/erica/ABContactHelper.git) registered for path 'ABContactHelper'

Submodule 'AFNetworking' (https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking.git) registered for path 'AFNetworking'

Submodule path 'PSTCollectionView': checked out 'a733a681d4aa9298ce24c090b5ea911bac8ead0b'


Any suggestions on how to fix the scmType == nil?


Regards,

Chris O'Malley
