how to manually override strider git fetch/pull

[abbood]

I have taken over a project that uses strider to

• make sure all the unit tests pass
• automatically deploy to our staging environment once they do..

however currently strider is stuck here:

$ git fetch github 784ms -1
error: refs/heads/master does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/remotes/origin/150-employee-filters does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/remotes/origin/158-234-delete-event does not point to a valid object!
error: refs/remotes/origin/190-document-request-hr-direct-notif does not point to a valid object!

.. (truncated)

i have access to the server that's running strider.. how do I manually override this job and do the git fetch trouble shootoing myself.. then restart strider?

[oliversalzburg]

I would first try clearing the project cache through the web UI. If that fails, you can go into the .strider/data directory of the user that runs Strider and check the local repository.

[abbood]

@oliversalzburg:

• tried clearing the cache.. nothing happened..
• not sure what to do in .strider/data.. i went there, and i saw this empty directory:

~/.strider/data/my-project-name-57977338ad69ec767c8dbbdb

and that's it.. what should i do now?

[oliversalzburg]

Did you run another build after clearing the cache? The directory should contain the cloned repo, if I'm not mistaken

[abbood]

yes i did clear the cache then immediately rebuild and deploy.. same git error:

$ git clone --recursive https://[username]:[password]@github.com/Mokus-io/beneple.git . --branch master github 851ms -1
Cloning into '.'...

What happens if you do the clone outside of Strider but on the same box/account?

[abbood]

if i do a git clone without putting username/pwd like so:

git clone --recursive https://my-project.git

it simply prompts me for my username/pwd.. and obviously if i include my username/pwd in the command like so

git clone --recursive https://username:pwd@my-project.git

it works like a charm.

my question is: in this command

$ git clone --recursive https://[username]:[password]@github.com/Mokus-io/beneple.git . --branch master github 851ms -1

does the username/pwd actually replaced by the real username/pwd?

[oliversalzburg]

Well, the problem is already at the remote: Repository not found.. Either the repo was actually moved, or the access key Strider is using is not valid. Check https://github.com/Mokus-io/beneple/settings/keys and replace or add the public key of the Strider project.

[knownasilya]

does the username/pwd actually replaced by the real username/pwd?

Yes, it's just "blurred" so it's not visible in the logs.

[abbood]

odd.. there are no deploy keys in https://github.com/Mokus-io/beneple/settings/keys.. thing is this project was handed over to me without me being able to know what the original authors had in mind.. ok lemme see now..

[abbood]

it didn't work.. i created a new deploy key at github and got the public key from my strider:

than i reployed.. same git error

[knownasilya]

I would delete the project and re-add it, if that's possible.

[abbood]

@knownasilya it definitely is.. but now i'm wondering what other steps are missing.. for example i was checking out this github integration tutorial and i see that i got no github oAth app registered.. so i guess it's safe to delete everything and start from scratch eh? (ie by following the instructions on that page?)

[knownasilya]

Yes, that should setup your Github settings properly.

[abbood]

one last cheat question.. in my beneple repo root directory i have this strider.json file:

{
    "merge_plugins": true,
    "plugins": [
        {
            "id": "custom",
            "enabled": true,
            "showStatus": true,
            "config": {
                "prepare": "docker build -t beneple/beneple:latest -t beneple/beneple:$(git rev-parse HEAD) .",
                "test": "docker run --link beneple_db:db --rm beneple/beneple:$(git rev-parse HEAD) sh -c \"venv/bin/coverage run ./manage.py test && venv/bin/coverage report\"",
                "deploy": "bash +e -c 'docker stop beneple_strider; docker rm beneple_strider; docker run --link beneple_db:db -p 80:8000 --restart=always --name=beneple_strider -d beneple/beneple:$(git rev-parse HEAD)'",
                "cleanup": "bash -c 'if [[ $(docker ps -a -f status=exited -q) ]] ; then docker rm $(docker ps -a -f status=exited -q); fi; if [[ $(docker images -f dangling=true -q) ]]; then docker rmi $(docker images -q); fi;'"
            }
        }
    ]
}

when i just setup my new github repo.. it asked what kind of project it is and i said it's python.. so now the test script simply runs

pip install -r requirements.txt

to prepare it and

python setup.py test

to test it.. obviously this isn't the case.. how do i instruct strider to run the commands in this strider.json file?

[knownasilya]

Disable the python plugin in the "Plugins" config.

[abbood]

yeah ok? but now no script is run when i push a new commit/branch

[oliversalzburg]

If you want to run the command mentioned in your previous post, enable the Python plugin. The custom commands should be run regardless (that's what merge_plugins is for). If they aren't run, it's likely that the custom plugin is not installed. The grey status in Strider is usually some pretty fatal error. A look at the Strider logs would be interesting.

@abbood is this issue still happening or did you fix it?
