Poller is not running, file script/poller not found. Activities are not updated, repos not created

Question

i've updated gitorious from 2.x to 3. After some trouble i'm able to pull, push etc.. But the activity stream is not updated and repositories are not created ("Your new repository is being created" persists).

Both MergeRequest and its :status machine have defined a different default for "status". Use only one or the other for defining defaults to avoid unexpected behaviors.

and the poller script doesnt exists:

Where is the poller script and how to start this in v3? Is this the reason for the problems?

Answer 1

According to the answer in my Google Groups post you can (or not) start poller via

sudo service resque-worker start

if you have installed gitorious via ce-installer. In my case the setup is a weird mix up with ce-installer and custom repair work. So this does not work for me (service unknown).

But the resque-worker leads to /etc/init/resque-worker.conf.

If you look inside /etc/init/resque-worker.conf:

description "Run a Resque worker on all queues"
author "Marius Mårnes Mathiesen <marius@gitorious.com>"

start on started rc RUNLEVEL=[35]
stop on runlevel [06]

env PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin
env QUEUE=*
env PIDFILE=/var/www/gitorious/app/tmp/pids/resque-worker1.pid

exec /usr/local/bin/chruby-exec ruby-1.9.3-p448 -- /var/www/gitorious/app/bin/rake resque:work
respawn

Now i've temporary executed QUEUE=* /var/www/gitorious/app/bin/rake resque:work which started inside the current terminal.

According to the ./script/diagnose the poller is now running and I'm receiving notification mails and the activity stream is updated.

The last step (hopefully) is to repair the script, to run it as service. I will update this post ASAP.

In ce-installer/upgrade.sh, line 71 (function start-gitorious) I've found the solution to start the resque-worker. Just type:

start resque-worker

(not sudo service resque-worker start)!
