What version are you running?
Review Board 2.0.2
RBTools 0.6
What's the URL of the page containing the problem?
n/a
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install Review Board 2.0.2 on dedicated server A
2. Install CVS 1.12.13 on dedicated server B
3. Install RBTools 0.6 on server B
4. Add CVS hook on post commit (in script loginfo on server B)
5. Checkout a project on server B, make a change in a file, commit it --> rbt post works as expected and request is created
6. Checkout a project on remote server C, make a change in a file, commit it --> file is commited but rbt post reports an error and no review request is created
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the error displayed is:
-----------------
>>> RBTools 0.6

What operating system are you using? What browser?
CVS server and RBtools are on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-24-generic i686) (server A above)
ReviewBoard server is on Ubuntu 12.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.11.0-15-generic x86_64) (server B above)
Remote CVS is on AIX Version 7.1 (server C above) and CVS version on C is 1.11.23
Please provide any additional information below.
I've noticed the following function cannot return info and is the root of the problem:
-----------------
def get_repository_info(self):
if not check_install(['cvs']):
logging.debug('Unable to execute "cvs": skipping CVS')
return None
cvsroot_path = os.path.join("CVS", "Root")
if not os.path.exists(cvsroot_path):
return None
fp = open(cvsroot_path, "r")
repository_path = fp.read().strip()
fp.close()
i = repository_path.find("@")
if i != -1:
repository_path = repository_path[i + 1:]
i = repository_path.rfind(":")
if i != -1:
host = repository_path[:i]
try:
canon = socket.getfqdn(host)
repository_path = repository_path.replace('%s:' % host,
'%s:' % canon)
except socket.error, msg:
logging.error("failed to get fqdn for %s, msg=%s"
% (host, msg))
return RepositoryInfo(path=repository_path)
-----------------
because when a remote commit is done from server C, the CVS on server B (where RBtools are installed) uses a temporary directory (something like '/var/tmp/cvs-serv9906') instead of a normal directory with checked-out project like in step 5.
In the CVS hook I have the following call (some variables are precalculated as $USER but they are not relevant here):
rbt post --debug --submit-as $USER --target-groups Reviewers_G1 --disable-proxy --server $REVIEWBOARD_URL --re
pository $REPOSITORY --username service_user --password some_password --markdown --summary "$SUMMARY" --description "$DESC
" $FILE_VER
