Type error: "no implicit conversion of nil into String"

Summary

I tried the fresh image built from your master branch and running into a type error when I want to manually add a project through the api. Same goes for webhooks.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Deploy dependabot to a server of your choice
version: "3.3"

services:
  redis:
    image: redis:6.0.6-buster
    volumes:
      - /data/gitlab/dependabot/redis:/data
    networks:
      - redis

  web:
    image: registry.gitlab.com/dependabot-gitlab/dependabot:master-latest
    depends_on:
      - redis
    environment:
      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
      - RAILS_ENV=production
      - SETTINGS__GITLAB_URL=xxxx
      - SETTINGS__GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxx
      - RAILS_SERVE_STATIC_FILES="true"
      - SECRET_KEY_BASE="key"
    command: rails server
    networks:
      - redis

  worker:
    image: registry.gitlab.com/dependabot-gitlab/dependabot:master-latest
    depends_on:
      - redis
    environment:
      - REDIS_URL=redis://redis:6379
      - RAILS_ENV=production
      - SETTINGS__GITLAB_ACCESS_TOKEN=xxxx
    command: sidekiq
    networks:
      - redis

networks:
  redis:
    internal: true
  1. Setup reverse-proxy access or just port-mapping to get access
  2. Try to schedule a project through POST /api/project gives (the same is true if we run over a gitlab webhook request) POST request
{
    "project":"rweinreich/dependabot-test"
}

Response

{
    "status": 500,
    "error": "no implicit conversion of nil into String"
}
