Circle-Ci build failed

[UmairNazir]

I am deploying my application at staging server. But it is failing during deployment and showing this error.

It looks like you don’t have a tag or branch called 4.0 as you expect. Please supply your config.yml in a formatted block so that readers stand a reasonable chance of being able to help - it is unlikely people can assist otherwise.

You may also need to explain how your deployment works e.g. whether you are using an ssh command, or a remote heroku command, etc.

here is my config.yml for deployment

This look like my actual case and also the followings:

Fetching $CIRCLE_TAG doesn't seem to work

During the checkout process, it looks like CircleCI is basically executing the following sequence of commands: git fetch --force origin "refs/tags/${CIRCLE_TAG}" git reset --hard "$CIRCLE_SHA1" git checkout -q "$CIRCLE_TAG" Unfortunately, I get an error message when it tries to checkout the tag. error: pathspec 'release-2017-12-22T15_28_47-05_00' did not match any file(s) known to git. Exited with code 1 Any idea what’s going on here?

Their solution was to disable cache of the .git folder before the checkout (to speedup checkout).
I’m sure it work but the checkout time can be long on some projects and their is no --depth configuration for git to save some data transfer.

[there] is no --depth configuration for git to save some data transfer

True, but the checkout command is optional - you can just use git if you are willing to do the checkout manually, which in turn will allow you to do a shallow clone.
