Post Receive URL not called on push

[derkaan]

Hi,

I'm struggling to get Post Receive URLs working and not sure if it is a misconfiguration or misinterpretation of the documentation.

We want to configure a repository with an post receive url, so that a chosen URL gets called on pushes.
Here are some details of what I did so far and my setup:

Project Setup:

• We've setup a project in Redmine e.g. myProject
• We created 4 repositories belonging to "myProject" (these are subprojects, therefore there are 4 repos)
• All repositories can be pulled and pushed. Changes are also visible in Redmine
• Post Receive URL added in the repository config for one repository:
  • URL: https://myserver/notificationreceiver
  • active = yes
  • mode = github style
  • use triggers = yes (master)

Git Hosting Setup:

• Installed based on the details of the details found on http://redmine-git-hosting.io/
• relevant .gitolite.rc params: GIT_CONFIG_KEYS => '.*', LOCAL_CODE => "$ENV{HOME}/local"
• Offered hooks in redmine config are installed and "Config Test"-Tab has green checkmarks on each config setting (incl. hooks)

Server/SW Setup:

• Redmine 3.1.0.stable
• redmine_git_hosting 1.2.0
• git version 2.1.4
• gitolite3 3.6.1-2
• rvm ruby: ruby 2.1.4p265 (used for redmine)
• system ruby: ruby 2.1.5p273 (installed as described here: http://redmine-git-hosting.io/get_started/#step-8-install-ruby-interpreter-for-post-receive-hook)

Let me know if you need further details.

Thanks.

Hi, we do need this call/trigger to kick-off the continues integration as well as to do deployments.
Any hint or tip?

All repositories can be pulled and pushed. Changes are also visible in Redmine

Well it should work out of the box. You should have additional lines in git push output.

[derkaan]

"git push" does his regular job but without any additional lines.
It just shows the usual processing messages but nothing in terms of executed hooks ( I assume these are the additional lines you meant, right?)

[n-rodriguez]

This is what you should get :

nicolas@tchoum-desktop:~/test-nico$ echo 'ecoucouc' >> toto.php && git commit -a -m test && git push -u origin master

when I push back to the server the hooks-section is comletely missing:

$echo `date +%Y%m%d-%H%M` >> TestFile && git commit TestFile -m "Testing notifications" && git push origin master 
[master 49b9818] Testing notifications

   1aaea34..49b9818  master -> master

The push command doesn't create any log file entry in my-redmine/logs/[production.log | git_hosting.log]

In case it helps: this is what I see in the gitolite-log:

Any idea what the issue might be?

[derkaan]

Hi, after reviewing and comparing again the local setup with the setup instructions we still can't get the post receive urls working.
I assume that others are also using this functionality for e.g. continues integration or other tasks that needs to be kicked off.

[derkaan]

Any update/suggestion?

Hi! The hooks don't seem to be called. Check your Gitolite install, specially repositories hooks.
It should look like this :

Hi, still no luck. Our hooks directory looks similar to yours:

is ruby installed for your git user? if not the ruby post-receive hook could not be called. For my requirements I have a non ruby hook, but if you install ruby for your git user, it should work anyway.

[derkaan]

Thanks for the tip.
(the same) ruby is installed and available for the git and redmine user.
Is there any way to debug or log very verbose to see what the issue might be?

[bes1002t]

mh maybe you can write some output to the hook and if you push something to your repo this should be printed to the terminal where you push.

[madc]

I'm facing the same issue. Everything working as expected, except the hooks on push seem not to be called.

Push output:

[madc]

Also, should the Hooks Url (in the blue badge, like http://<ip>/redmine/githooks/post-receive/redmine)
be callable in the browser? Says "Page not found" for me (with GET and POST).

But in the hooks dir inside the repository itself, it seems to miss the symlinks:

[bes1002t]

you did something wrong at the installation. normally there is a "post-receive -> /home/git/.gitolite ...." symlink for every project in your gitolite repository directory

[madc]

Oh, OK. I don't want to hijack this issue than, i'll figure it out. Thanks.

[jblobb]

Hi @madc it sounds like you're having the same issue I had.

This is what I did to correct the issue #567 (comment)

[madc]

Thanks for the hint, but it was a much simpler issue. I set $ENV{HOME}/local in the gitolite config, but did not set the same value (local/) in Redmine (Administration > Redmine Git Hosting > Storage > Gitolite non-core hooks directory).

Works like a charm now.
