Description Matthias Breddin 2016-11-28 04:22:21 UTC

FreeBSD: 11.0 w zfs

After installing gitlab 8.11.11 everything works, except creating or importing a repository.

Creating a repository results in: Failed to create repository via gitlab-shell

Trying to import a repository results in: Unable to save project. Error: Failed create wikiProject ID: 1, trying to start import after that, production.log emits:

NoMethodError (undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass):
  app/controllers/projects/imports_controller.rb:14:in `create'
  lib/gitlab/request_profiler/middleware.rb:15:in `call'
  lib/gitlab/middleware/go.rb:16:in `call'


Check says everything is okay, permissions are right (directories get created), event tried with a ufs (md) mount on the repository, in case it's an zfs issue.

Aloha Matthias,

i do my tests on zfs, so i believe it shouldn't be an issue.

The first part of the error message rises if you define a symlink as repos-path. But in the default configuration this is not the case. So some questions:
- do you have rubygem-gitlab_git 10.5.0 installed?
- are there any configuration changes done by you?
- are there any non-default ports for example another ruby-version?
- what is the output of the check?

Greetings,
Torsten

Hey Torsten,

actually I did (after it didn't work) a bundle exec install (if i remember correctly). 

The version of gitlab_git is 10.5.0. Changes were only the hostname.

Also in the beginning i used postgresql 9.6

But for now to save work and your time, i will do a complete fresh install and give feedback here.

cheers,
Matthias

Hello Torsten,

Did a complete fresh install just with the instructions from the installation-freebsd.

Sadly, still the same error :/

Interesting. I'm currently testing the update to 8.12.9. Would you like to test, if the errors are gone with the update?

Since you mentioned a bundle install: are you sure that there are no differences between "gem list" and "pkg info | grep rubygem"? (But i do not really suspect the error here).

What is the output of "ls -lah /home/git"? 

And can you please copy the output of the rake check?

Are there any entries in /usr/local/www/gitlab/log ?

Another user with issues pointed me to an error in gitlab-shell. Its very likely that this is also your source of issues.

Please update to the latest gitlab-shell-3.4.0_1 and check if it now works! :)

Just came home and tested it with the latest gitlab_shell, import / creating repositories work now. Thanks @Torsten Zuehlsdorff 

Just curious, what was the cause?

Comment 7 Matthias Breddin 2016-12-04 20:21:23 UTC

I think it can be marked as resolved

I missed a file in pkg-plist of gitlab-shell. :( And it was an import file ;) After adding it, everything is fine! :)
