#1 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

  • Status changed from New to Incomplete

What version of plugin are you using?

This error happened for 0.3.0 and has been fixed in 0.4.0...

#2 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

If version is 0.4.0, as I understood, this error happens only when executing rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production...

As a workaround you can comment line 14 of source:init.rb, migrate, then uncomment and restart Redmine.

Please confirm the version and if the workaround works.

#3 Updated by Rob Landry almost 12 years ago

i am pretty sure the version is trunk as i checked it out. i am not sure where to find the version. Also the work around has failed. i get a passenger error page once restarting apache2 and loading the page.

#5 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

The workaround should work only at the time of migration, that is, when you run rake redmine:plugins:migrate RAILS_ENV=production...

Replace the line with: Rails.configuration.active_record.observers << :repository_observer
However, in my case, RepositoryObserver does not work with this change (no error - just does not get called).

#6 Updated by Rob Landry almost 12 years ago

the db migration runs fine with this line “#” commented out. however after removing the comment, and restarting apache2 (redmine) with sudo service apache2 restart and then going to me base page redmine.landry.me i get the previously posted error.

#7 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

#9 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

well, what is different with my setup? that has to be the cause of the error if it works for you.

Don’t think I’m going to leave this issue! Just thought aloud...

I’m using Redmine 2.0.0 but I don’t think that’s the reason! Because I actually used to get the same behaviour but after that for some reason is started to work... So I thought I have fixed it accidentally.

Anything else you think might be helpful?

Please try replacing the line with Rails.configuration.active_record.observers << :repository_observer. Also it would be cool if you could try deleting a repository created with SCM Creator and with deny_delete option set to false.

#10 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

  • Status changed from Incomplete to In Progress
  • Assignee set to Andriy Lesyuk
  • % Done changed from 0 to 50

Could you please first try the following:

Add ActiveRecord::Base.instantiate_observers below ActiveRecord::Base.observers << :repository_observer? E.g.

...
Rails.logger.info 'Starting SCM Creator Plugin for Redmine'

ActiveRecord::Base.observers << :repository_observer
ActiveRecord::Base.instantiate_observers

Rails.configuration.to_prepare do
...

See: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=19305

Other options:

#11 Updated by Rob Landry almost 12 years ago

Adding ActiveRecord::Base.instantiate_observers below ActiveRecord::Base.observers << :repository_observer
causes same error

Moving to end of file causes same error

Adding to:

# initialize observer
config.after_initialize do
        ActiveRecord::Base.observers = ActiveRecord::Base.observers << GitHosti$
end

causes this error:
rake aborted!
undefined local variable or method `config’ for main:Object

#12 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

What about:

# initialize observer
Rails.configuration.after_initialize do
     ActiveRecord::Base.observers = ActiveRecord::Base.observers << GitHosti$
end

?

And please try: Rails.configuration.active_record.observers << :repository_observer + deleting a repositiry (see above).

#13 Updated by Rob Landry almost 12 years ago

With this

# initialize observer
Rails.configuration.after_initialize do
        ActiveRecord::Base.observers = ActiveRecord::Base.observers << :repository_observer
end

Allowed Rake to complete!

Now to see if everything works as expected.

#14 Updated by Rob Landry almost 12 years ago

Not sure if related, but now i get an error when trying to add a new project. this occurs using the same config previously posted.

#15 Updated by Rob Landry almost 12 years ago

rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=scm_creator VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production
(in /home/rob/www/redmine)
Plugin scm_creator was not found.

i am not sure that the db was actually updated. however i do see the plugin listed under plugins, just cannot add a new project.

#16 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

rake db:migrate:plugin NAME=scm_creator VERSION=0 RAILS_ENV=production

Just remove the plugin’s directory – no need to clean database...

Not sure if related, but now i get an error when trying to add a new project. this occurs using the same config previously posted.

There should be error in logs – what is it?

#17 Updated by Andriy Lesyuk almost 12 years ago

Now to see if everything works as expected.

Ok, for me, RepositoryObserver does not get called...
