Unable to browse nor integrate GIT repository with Chiliproject

Added by James Ang at 2011-10-18 02:40 am

Dear all,

I've just install a fresh v2.3.0 on my Ubuntu 11.04 x64 machine.
I'm running Apache2+mySQL v5.5+Passenger in sub-URI method and using 'bundle install' to get the gems needed.

I've successfully integrated SVN repository with user authentication as according to both Redmine/Chiliproject wiki.
Using SCM Creator plug-in 0.2.0, I can even create bare SVN repository on local folder.

Now, I need help to integrate GIT repository feature with user authentication but even the basic browsing of a cloned git repository folder couldn't be done.

I keep getting "404: The entry or revision was not found in the repository."
The production.log will have the following entry

Processing RepositoriesController#show (for 127.0.0.1 at 2011-10-18 09:47:33) [GET]

SCM Creator can't create any GIT folder even into the same SVN folder too.
Even given 0777 full read/write access to the git folder, the same error occurs.

Even with SCM Creator plug-in removed. I couldn't browse the any cloned or bare GIT repository.

The same is happening with my other Redmine v1.2.1 installation on the same machine via a different sub-URI.

I've posted all information that I used to troubleshoot the installation below

Any help is most appreciated.

Thanks

James.

RE: Unable to browse nor integrate GIT repository with Chiliproject - Added by Felix Schäfer at 2011-10-18 05:13 am

One thing first: Don't put your repositories in the files directory. In fact, it's best to not put anything yourself in the files directory, as ChiliProject puts uploaded files there, and I'm not sure what would happen if it tries to save stuff to files that already exist.

That said, that shouldn't prevent ChiliProject from reading the git repository.

As I said in the other thread, check that you have commits in the git repository, a new git repository doesn't have any and ChiliProject can't differentiate between no commits and no repository. You can also have a look at log/scm.stderr.log (or similar), there might be hints in there as to what the problem is. Lastly, also make sure that the git executable is in the path for the user running ChiliProject, in your case, try logging in as www-data (try something like sudo su - www-data, try adding -s /bin/bash if it tells you the account is not available) and see if just running git works.

Tried in other location but still the same.

I'm using a cloned git repository for U-Boot development and thus it is definitely not an empty, bare repository.
The clone is done by

sudo -u www-data git clone git://url u-boot.git

Also, I don't know where/if there is a scm.stderr.log file.
Where can I configure one?

Tried the www-data account and I can do git command to look at the commit log as per norm.

Please advise.

Thanks

James.

The point isn't that it could be the root of your problem (it isn't) but that it could lead to problems later. Don't put stuff in files yourself. Just don't.

Mmh, if you clone it as a "normal" repository, you might need to point ChiliProject to the .git repository in there. Alternatively, you could git clone --bare it, so that you can pick /path/to/u-boot.git instead of the .git directory in it. Also note that you don't need to call it u-boot.git, you can just call it u-boot.

Also, I don't know where/if there is a scm.stderr.log file.

It doesn't need to be configured, it's in the log directory (as hinted by the path above) but only if the scm shell outs produce any error.

Yes, I totally agreed on that.

Ok, I point it into the .git folder within the repository and now it manage to show all the commit logs after a long, long run.
YEAH~!

As I intend to use this cloned repository for internal push to/pull from for local development before going upstream
can Chiliproject track new commits as it get push/pull into the folder without interaction on its own?

Can't find any scm.stderr.log in chiliproject/log.

The first run imports the whole history, it can take a little time on large-ish repos.

See the FAQ, note that you could also put the command in a post-receive hook in your repository instead of having it run by a cron.

I see that the first run has to be properly completed and not interrupted.
Else, I'm getting 500: SQL Duplicated Entries errors randomly.

I see the tricky part of setting up git user authentication, workflow and others coming into play now.
Wish me luck~ (><)"

Thanks for the pointers.
