Spotless check fails in remote CI

[EricGao888]

Hello,

I'm using Spotless in my project. I want it to only check code different from a remote branch which is referred as upstream/dev. However, this causes remote CI to fail once I push the code to the remote repo and trigger the CI.

I set up ratchet as below:

<ratchetFrom>upstream/dev</ratchetFrom>

The error log I got from my GitHub Actions:

Execution default of goal com.diffplug.spotless:spotless-maven-plugin:2.23.0:check failed: No such reference 'upstream/dev' -> [Help 1]

In the end, I have to set ratchetFrom HEAD instead of upstream/dev, which is not recommended by the official doc:

May I ask whether there is a way to set ratchetFrom a remote branch without failing the remote CI?

Thanks!

The problem you are having is about clone depth. See #710 for a workaround.
