It turns out this was a simple issue related to branch renaming (master -> main) although the error messages No task messages available is a bit sparse to fully understand the issue...

Closing as a duplicate of #2535

For someone who would come across this issue...

Situation:

• branch master was renamed (to main) and removed from the github repo
• imports are failing in galaxy with no meaningful message

How I fixed:

• added galaxy_info: {github_branch: main} in meta/main.yml and pushed to main
• recreated the master branch from main from the github UI (for some reason, creating that branch and pushing it from the git command line did not make it appear, probably related to previous renaming...)
• launched import manually from galaxy UI and check it succeeded
• removed the master branch again from the remote github and local repo.
