I'm trying to transfer the ownership of a project and repository belonging
to someone whose account has been disabled. Since the account is disabled
I'm trying to use the ruby console to transfer ownership, but I'm getting a
NoMethodError using the methods defined on these models. I'm new to
ruby/rails so it's possible I'm overlooking something fairly obvious, but
here's what I'm doing:

% env RAILS_ENV=production ruby script/console

=> #<User id: 23, ...>
=> #<Project id: 121, ...>
NoMethodError: undefined method `change_owner_to' for
#<Project:0x7f8ad0202da0>
    from
/var/www/gitorious/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/attribute_me thods.rb:260:in
`method_missing'
    from (irb):32

What am I missing here? Is there a better way to do this? I'm using
gitorious v2.1.1.

Thanks,
Allan

I use the following function to change the ownership of a project to another user:

def change_project_owner(project, owner, keep_old = true)
  p = Project.find_by_title(project)
  u = User.find_by_login(owner)
  old_owner = p.owner

  return if u == old_owner

  p.repositories.mainlines.each do |r|
    cs = r.committerships.find_by_committer_id_and_committer_type(u.id, "User")
    if cs
      cs.destroy
    end
  end
  p.change_owner_to(u).each do |r|
    r.change_owner_to!(u)
    r.user_id = u.id
    r.save!
    r.committerships.find_all_by_committer_type("User").each do |cs|
      if cs.committer_id == u.id
        cs.creator_id = nil
        cs.save!
      elsif cs.creator_id == old_owner.id
        cs.creator_id = u.id
        cs.save!
      end
    end
    if keep_old
      cs = r.committerships.create!(:committer => old_owner, :creator_id => u.id)
      cs.build_permissions(:review, :commit, :admin)
      cs.save!
    end
  end
  p.save!
end

Note that I use Project.find_by_title() which you can easily change to Project.find_by_slug(). I also do not know what will happen if there are group committerships involved (we do not use groups). Set keep_old to true if you want the old owner to retain his/her committerships after the owner change.

I tried your function with the tweaks you suggested, but I'm still getting
an error:

I'm wondering if there is something wrong with my environment which causes
my console not to properly load up all of the functionality of the models.
I'm not very familiar with how ruby works.
