Registration of file: repo in Subversion ALM fails with "$error"

kawk

Hi,

I'm trying to register a new local repository in Subversion ALM. The registration fails with "$error", no other information is given and even with increased logging I wasn't able to get any more information about the cause.

Two similar repositories have been registered years ago with an older app version (8.6.6) and still "work". Now Subversion ALM is at 9.1.3, JIRA Server at 8.9, newer versions are not available to us..

Is there anything I can do to add the new repo? Any way to go back to an older ALM version? Tried installing for example 9.0.11.obr, but still 9.1.3 is active

Hi @kawk

I would see your log files on the specific error, if any is there. I see you have searched and no more information is available.

You could create a HAR log file and contact the vendor of Subversion ALM and/or Atlassian in this case.

I observed that if I put an empty repository at the very same location, it can be registered. Only after a few "commits" have been made, any further attempt to update or re-register the repo in ALM results in "$error" as before.

The commits are in fact made by a svnsync process and the first ones do not contain any actual changes (they just bump the revision number to stay in sync with the source repository).

May that be a problem for the plugin? I'll try to put at least one meaningful commit into the repository as first revision.

An excerpt from my atlassian-jira.log with everything around the time of a failed attempt doesn't show anything suspicious, except a WARN at the end:

With strace I can see the last file accesses before that WARN log entry is written (stat, read and close syscalls omitted for better overview):

[pid 26383] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/subversion/config", O_RDONLY) = 109
[pid 26383] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/etc/subversion/config", O_RDONLY) = 109
[pid 26383] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/var/www/pf/repos/mls/format", O_RDONLY) = 109

[pid 26383] openat(AT_FDCWD, "/var/www/pf/repos/mls/db/rep-cache.db", O_RDONLY) = 109

While accessing the rep-cache.db, there is more action than just reading, and a stat of rep-cache.db-journal is the last thing that happens before writing the WARN:
