Introduced submodule and now getting an error
Hi,
I've just introduced a submodule into my visualstuido.com git repository (its a public submodule from github), and am now getting the following error in my build:
Build started
Fetching repository contents...Error while copying content to a stream.
I added the following to my yml but I'm still getting the error:
install:
- git submodule update --init --recursive
Any help?
