Error 500 when using Markdown code block with empty repository

Created by: Anthony-Gaudino

This error was reproduced on Master and 1.9.1 following this:

  1. Create a new project on GitLab
  2. Create a issue, Wiki page or anything containing a code block that will be parsed by Markdown. Ex:
    '''ruby
    require 'redcarpet'
    markdown = Redcarpet.new("Hello World!")
    puts markdown.to_html
    '''
    
    I know the ''' are wrong but its just to skip GitHub's own Markdown
  3. When viewed you get a 500 server error

To solve this issue you must push something to the repository, so Gitolite will create the project folder.

Here's a production.log entry with the error:
