We are blocked from importing. ### What is the expected *correct* behavior? The import would function normally. ### Relevant logs and/or screenshots (Paste any relevant logs - please use code blocks (```) to format console output, logs, and code as it's very hard to read otherwise.) ### Output of checks (If you are reporting a bug on GitLab.com, write: This bug happens on GitLab.com) #### Results of GitLab environment info <details> <summary>Expand for output related to GitLab environment info</summary> <pre> System information System: Current User: git Using RVM: no Ruby Version: 2.5.3p105 Gem Version: 2.7.6 Bundler Version:1.16.6 Rake Version: 12.3.1 Redis Version: 3.2.12 Git Version: 2.18.1 Sidekiq Version:5.2.3 Go Version: unknown GitLab information Version: 11.6.4 Revision: 300fef1 Directory: /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails DB Adapter: postgresql URL: https://gitlab.nos.noaa.gov HTTP Clone URL: https://gitlab.nos.noaa.gov/some-group/some-project.git SSH Clone URL: git@gitlab.nos.noaa.gov:some-group/some-project.git Using LDAP: yes Using Omniauth: yes Omniauth Providers: saml GitLab Shell Version: 8.4.3 Repository storage paths: - default: /opt/gitlabdata/repositories Hooks: /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell/hooks Git: /opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/git </pre> </details> #### Results of GitLab application Check <details> <summary>Expand for output related to the GitLab application check</summary> <pre> </pre> </details> ### Possible fixes (If you can, link to the line of code that might be responsible for the problem)
