Problem:

This is not a valid source path / URL

I have been working on a project with a friend who set up a repository in Gitlab; and even though I was able to view all projects on it, I couldn’t really join the repository. I was using SourceTree and Gitlab.

While using SourceTree, attempting to clone a remote repository, was throwing the following error under Repository Type: This is not a valid source path / URL

Clicking on Clone will prompt the following error:

This is not a valid source path / URL

Solution:

The solution was simple, I just updated the Git Version. From SourceTree, go to Tools > Options > Git > Git Version > Update Embedded.

This is not a valid source path / URL

After updating the Git version, you should be able to clone the repository; and under Repository Type, you should see: This is a Git repository.

This is not a valid source path / URL

Other solution:

Try updating the Mercurial Version.

Skip the setup of Git & Mercurial in the wizard.

Unable to delete inaccessible datastore

Unable to delete an "inaccessible" datastore

I was switching my storage array, so I migrated the VMs from that old datastore/storage to a new datastore/storage. The old datastore was shared by 3 ESXi hosts, no cluster. After migrating the VMs and unmount/delete the datastore, it was still presented in two of the ESXi hosts and was marked as inaccessible.
