The upgrade path was migrating from h2 to the postgresql database. It seemed to be recommended and I was hoping for better performance. Everything else that logs shows the full path to the file. This one only shows what I pasted. I pulled the source code and I can find where the error is thrown but I can't seem to find where the initial data is pulled/stored for that path.
I can go back to h2 if that ends up being the same performance but we have frequent pipelines running at the same time so I was hoping to head off performance issues with the postgresql features. It's just really odd because 20.1 was running great, 20.4 blew up on start but didn't have any issues during the upgrade that turned out to be the ldap failure and a git url that was a unc path to improve performance and avoid lots of consecutive pulls from the internet repo. Removed the unc path and oddly go seems to work fine with no Auth and no db but I'm not sure how or why. I thought at first maybe it was false-erroring but nothing is updated in the database although no h2 dB is being created. Is there a way to force the path using the wrapper-properties file? I've confirmed permissions are everyone - read-execute and other files in that same folder are being read. It seems like something is off with plug-ins though so I'm not sure if that's the core issue but the articles I've seen were suggesting those errors should be warnings. It's those getting 500 errors from the api. I can post the debug part if the logs if that helps as well. I still don't understand where it decides the path for that file though. It seems to be in the source but I couldn't find the class that is referenced from other files in the project. I can roll back and start over but this is virtually a pure install/ upgrade with a clean setup of 20.1 that runs perfectly followed by the 20.4 upgrade, dB migration and then 22.2 upgrade. Failing at 20.4 on leap with no settings changes was odd though. I rebuilt it multiple times and the strict option is disabled so any Auth is supposed to be accepted. Is there a way to increase logging or anything to provide more detail? (Although I do have a good bit in logs already. Thanks!
