Problems getting repo sync to work

[Anthony Wong]

Hi all--

 

I was trying to generate a workspace and it doesn't seem that my "repo sync" works properly.

 

I expected that I only needed to do:

$ mkdir my_workspace

$ cd my_workspace

$ repo init -u ssh://myserver.com:29418/manifest.git -b branch_name

$ repo sync

 and I would have an Android workspace.

 

But instead, I ended having to do the following:

$ mkdir my_workspace

$ cd my_workspace

$ repo init -u ssh://myserver.com:29418/manifest.git -b branch_name

### created .repo

$ repo sync

 

### this just created the repos in .repo/projects, did not create the workspace

 

$ cd .repo/projects

$ find . -type d -name ‘*.git’ | sed -e ‘s%\./%%’ -e ‘s/.git$//’ > ../../projects.txt

$ cd ../..

$ cat projects.txt | while read project ; do repo sync $project ; done

 

### workspace is populated

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

 

--Thanks,

Anthony

Yes, that should work just fine.

Weird. What happens if you run "repo sync -l"?

Hi Magnus--

 

Thanks for your suggestion.  Do you mean this sequence?

 

repo init

repo sync

repo sync -l

Yes. I'm interested in whether the latter command also doesn't
do anything. Actually, you can run "repo --trace sync -l" to get
additional debug output (not sure how useful it'll be, but it
won't hurt).

Hi Magnus--

I started looking at error_log and sshd_log and I noticed that there was a problem.

 

The problem is that my repo sync doesn't finish because of a git-upload-pack failure in my gerrit server (not properly configured for the large repositories that I have).  When I fixed my gerrit.config, the problem goes away.

 

Also, repo sync -l does sync the repos that made it into my .repo/projects.

Didn't Repo report this problem and abort the sync?

Hi Magnus--

When gerrit stopped serving the git-upload-pack, the repo sync command just stalled and I didn't notice, and just reflexively hit ctrl-C.  The files don't get copied to the workspace until all repos are copied from the remote.  I don't use repo often, so I didn't realize that the lack of workspace files meant that the repo copy didn't complete.
