Root Cause Breakdown

In the eisy-ui log, the installer executes the following sequence:

1. Empty Branch Argument:

   When pulling your repository ([https://github.com/awysocki/ACInfinity](https://github.com/awysocki/ACInfinity)), PG3 reads "branch": "null" from the node server configuration. It tries to execute:

   Bash

   git checkout -b 
   

   Because no branch string was passed, Git fails.

2. Branch Auto-Detection Fallback:

   PG3 then queries Git remote HEAD and detects Found branch [main].

3. String Concatenation Bug in eisy-ui:

   Once main is detected dynamically, eisy-ui's pg3_helper attempts to register the service. Instead of referencing slot 25 (plugin_25), the script incorrectly concatenates the slot prefix with the auto-detected branch name, attempting to query:

   Plaintext

   Unable to get info for plugin_2main
   

   Because plugin_2main is an invalid service target, pg3.ops fails with exit code -5 and rolls back the installation. (Compare this to your PMatter plugin log, where "branch": "main" was explicitly set beforehand, allowing plugin_27 to install cleanly without running auto-detection).

How to Fix It in Your Git Project & Store Submission

1. Explicitly Define the Branch in Store Submission

In the PG3 Node Server Store Developer Portal (where you submitted the ACInfinity NodeServer URL):

• Ensure the Branch field is explicitly set to main (or master) rather than left empty or null.

2. Verify Your Repository File Structure

Ensure the root of your ACInfinity repository includes all required PG3/eisy metadata and entry files:

File / Folder	Purpose	Requirement
server.json (or polyglot.json)	Node Server metadata definition	Root directory. Must specify "executable": "acinf_main.py" and "type": "python3".
install.sh	Shell script for dependency installation	Must be at repo root and executable (chmod +x install.sh).
acinf_main.py	Main script entry point	Must match the executable field.
profile/	IoX Node definitions	Must contain nodedef/, editor/, and nls/ subdirectories.

Example server.json Root Template

If you do not have a server.json in your repository root, add one:

JSON

{
  "name": "ACInfinity",
  "type": "python3",
  "executable": "acinf_main.py",
  "branch": "main"
}

Quick Workaround on the eisy Controller

In the PG3 / eisy UI web interface, go to Node Servers $\rightarrow$ ACInfinity $\rightarrow$ Configuration/Details, manually type main into the Branch field, and save changes before triggering a re-install.

Yep, same thing is happening to me, but I just left it alone for hours and all of it got migrated perfectly
