Workspace Git Sync Error - Unable to initialize your workspace
- 15 days ago
Hi anmerk,
The fact that the same branch works when you connect it to another workspace is useful here. I would focus on the DEV workspace's Git initialization state rather than changing the repository first.
Fabric separates the Git connection from the initialization/sync step, and Microsoft's Initialize Connection API documents workspace-side failures such as WorkspaceHasNoCapacityAssigned, MissingInitializationPolicy and InsufficientPrivileges.
Since you have already disconnected and reconnected it, I would open Show details on the error and capture the actual error code/request ID. I would also confirm that:
- the DEV workspace is still assigned to an active Fabric capacity
- you are reconnecting it as a workspace Admin
Microsoft's Git integration process requires an Admin for connection management.
I wouldn't assume the folders or unsupported item types are the cause just from the screenshot. Fabric can connect workspaces containing unsupported items and normally ignores them for Git.
If the detailed error is still generic and the same branch continues to initialize successfully in another workspace, I would raise a support ticket with the workspace ID, request ID and timestamp. At that point you have a strong indication that the issue is specific to the DEV workspace rather than the Git branch itself.
