Hi I’m getting the same error message. My pipeline was working but i started to get this error message after the credentials for my git repository (CodeCommit) was changed. I have updated the credentials in Jenkins but I’m still getting this error message. ---

What does the “Validate” button say? ---

There’s no option to validate while adding the git URL and credential. That option seems to be only for GitHub repositories. This is for a multi-branch pipeline btw if that makes any difference. The original set of credentials were working just fine this has happened after the credentials were changed.
