Bug #17977
Updated by François ARMAND almost 4 years ago
All this began after 6.1 upgrade. Previously, nothing wrong happened.
When creating a blank and very simple custom technique, Rudder automatically adds a resource :
" shared-files/sit-rudder ${resources_dir}/shared-files/sit-rudder "
though I did not use any resource or add anything related to it.
This situation is severe as following this issue, the rules often fails to be generated until I disable everything related to this technique (the technique, the directives using it...)
+Context :+
Previously, I added the directory /var/rudder/configuration-repository/shared-files/sit-rudder which I'm using as a source for several other directives (but not this technique).
This sit-rudder directory is itself a git clone from another external git repository.
Please note that /var/rudder/configuration-repository is git-controlled.
In /var/rudder/configuration-repository, I can see this :
<pre><code class="shell">
root@sit-conf-prd01:/var/rudder/configuration-repository# git status
On branch master
Changes not staged for commit:
(use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
(use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
modified: shared-files/sit-rudder (new commits)
no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
</code></pre>
The /var/rudder/configuration-repository/techniques/ncf_techniques/abcde01/1.0/metadata.xml file (created on this test) contains :
<pre><code class="xml">
[...]
<FILE name="RUDDER_CONFIGURATION_REPOSITORY/techniques/ncf_techniques/abcde01/1.0/resources/shared-files/sit-rudder">
<INCLUDED>false</INCLUDED>
<OUTPATH>abcde01/1.0/resources/shared-files/sit-rudder</OUTPATH>
</FILE>
[...]
</code></pre>
Would it help if I provide git-related information about /var/rudder/configuration-repository?
h3. Workaround
As the problem is located in @jgit@ library, we can't correct it immediatly.
A workaround is to ignore the sub-gig repository. It will still be a git repository, and files in it will still be shareable, but it will stop confusing everything in rudder.
- on root server, go to @/var/rudder/configuration-repository@
- remove from git knowledge sub-git: @git rm -r --cached shared-files/sit-rudder@
- add to @/var/rudder/configuration-repository/.gitignore@ (create it if necessary) line: @shared-files/sit-rudder@
- add gitignore change (rm is already added): @git add .gitignore@
- commit: @git commit -m "Forgeting about sub-repos, it's causing too much troubles"@
- done.
