Image Updater not able to connect to Gitlab Repo

[vipul0805]

Describe the bug
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
I recently upgraded ArgoCD image updater to the latest version v0.13.1. I checked the docs and set the value of applicationsAPIKind: kubernetes as both ArgoCd and the image updater run in the same cluster.

After the update the image updater cannot connect to the gitlab repo. Here is the error:

level=error msg="`git fetch origin --tags --force` failed exit status 128: error: cannot run argocd: No such file or directory\nfatal: could not read Username for 'http://10.29.218.114:10002': terminal prompts disabled" execID=bbbb3

I cannot figure out where it is looking for the credentials.

Additional context
In the docs the image updater is reading the token from a secret named argocd-image-updater-secret. I do not have any secret created and its not clear from the docs whether it needs to be created if using Method 1 in the Install guide.

Version
ArgoCD image updater: v0.13.1
ArgoCD: 2.11.2

The errors are the same in the other issue #728 . Can you check if this is the same issue?
