Hi, I recently discoverd a problem with gitorious when I created a repository called "users".
This leads to gitorious creating the repository but when this is completetd and I am redirected to repository's website I get this error: Sorry, page not found The page you were looking for does not exist. You may have mistyped, or the page could be moved. I encountered this on a private installation but the same happens at gitorious.org The same hold true for repository names such as "groups" and probably all table names in the gitorious DB. Only a repository "repositories" doesn't result in a "page not found" message, since https://gitorious/projectname/repositories is already a reserved route displaying all repos in that project. Nonetheless it is not possible to edit the repository. Possible mitigation: Check repository names before creating them and if they match any of the reserved words (table names, routes) and notify the user that he/she should choose a different name for the repository. Maybe projects are also affected, but I do not want to try to create a project with a title like "users" because it already took me quite some time to figure out how to clean up after creating only a repository with that name. It is not possible to delete such repositories through the web interface (well, besides deleting the entire project, which might not be an option sometimes). I am not a huge rails pro in any way but I managed to delete the repository via the rails console, but this is where my trouble started, because then my dashboard could not be viewed since "users" was in my favorites list, thus one of my favorites was now nil. Therefore I got this error via mail: A ActionView::TemplateError occurred in site#index: undefined method `user' for nil:NilClass On line #131 of app/views/site/dashboard.html.erb 128: </div> 129: <ul class="with_icons"> 130: <% @favorites.each do |favorite| %> 131: <li class="<%= css_classes_for(favorite) -%>"> 132: <%= link_to_watchable(favorite) -%> 133: </li> 134: <% end %> I managed to solve this by deleting the repo from my favorites list. However it was also necessary to remove other references to that repository. In my case, the repository was owned by a group/team, thus trying to open the homepage of that team also resulted in a Page Not Found. This results in an error like this: A NoMethodError occurred in groups#show: undefined method `project_id' for nil:NilClass [RAILS_ROOT]/app/models/group.rb:85:in `all_related_project_ids' Here is a short howto for getting rid of the "evil" repository: 1. Login to your gitorious instance 2. Switch user to the one owning gitorious, in my case git: sudo su git 3. Switch to the directory where the gitorious code is: git@gitorious: cd ~/gitorious/current 4. Start the rails console: RAILS_ENV=production /usr/local/bin/ gitorious_ruby script/console 5. evil = Repository.find_by_name "users" (note the repository id for evil, you might need it later) 6. evil.delete 7. a = event.last 8. a.delete 9. g = Group.find_by_name "groupname" 10. If the evil repository is the newest for that group: g.committerships = g.committerships - [g.committerships[-1]] 11. g.repository_ids = g.repository_ids - [ (repo id of evil repository) ] 12. g.save 13. p = Project.find_by_title "affected_proj" 14. p.repository_ids = g.repository_ids - [ (repo id of evil repository) ] 15. p.save This should be it. -- To post to this group, send email to gitorious@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gitorious+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com
