Plugin Installation doesn't work

[Markus Dütting]

I upgraded to the newest version 1.34 in my Windows Tomcat 7 container today and changed the Tomcat service user back to the Local System account.
I used a domain account to be able to use the Active Directory plugin, but couldn't get that working and gave up on it.
After changing the Tomcat user i wasn't able to get the scm website any more, so i deleted the new ".scm" directory under C:\ and moved the old one from the users directory. I can now successfully connect to the configuration website as well as use git. But i can't install nor deinstall any plugin. There is no message in Tomcat or scm-manager.log stating any error, i just get the message "Plugin installation failed". I checked the security settings on the ".scm" directory and can successfully change parameters in the configuration, so i'm quite lost here, what the problem could be.
I tried a few plugins (jenkins, activity, script, deinstalling graph) but i always get the same error message.

Hi,

Could you please post a trace log (https://bitbucket.org/sdorra/scm-manager/wiki/faq) of a failed plugin installation?

Hi Sebastian,

i've attached the log file. But i tried three times to install a plugin and there is simply nothing added to the log file after reloading the plugin list.

Best Regards,

Hi,

Which browser do you use? Could check the http server response with "Chrome - Developer Tools" or "Firefox - Firebug"? Did you know how to monitor ajax requests or do you need a tutorial?

Hi Sebastian,

thanks for the tip with using firebug. The problem was the url that is generated when installing a plugin. There are ":" which per default aren't allowed in URL's in IIS. I changed the necessary configuration, but perhaps you should use a different character or URL Encoding?
Thanks for the fast and useful help.

Best Regards,
Markus Dütting

[Sebastian Sdorra]

I will think about url encoding for the next release.

I'm also having difficulties with plugin installation.I tried the standalone version and have now deployed the war version to Tomcat6. Same behavior in both. I click on the Install action for various plugins and it installs successfully and prompts me to restart the application server.  When I restart the plugins are not installed.  There is nothing specific in the scm-manager.log and catalina.out shows...

15:46:24.008 [http-8080-1] INFO  sonia.scm.plugin.AetherPluginHandler - try to install plugin with gav: sonia.scm.plugins:scm-activity-plugin:1.9
15:47:11.437 [http-8080-3] INFO  sonia.scm.plugin.AetherPluginHandler - try to install plugin with gav: sonia.scm.plugins:scm-activedirectory-auth-plugin:1.0

15:49:17.180 [http-8080-3] INFO  sonia.scm.plugin.AetherPluginHandler - try to install plugin with gav: sonia.scm.plugins:scm-userrename-plugin:1.0

I see that the plugins were downloaded to /usr/share/tomcat6/.scm/plugins/sonia/scm/plugins...

[root@sdoslnxp1028 plugins]# ls
scm-activedirectory-auth-plugin  scm-plugins
scm-activity-plugin              scm-userrename-plugin

Any help would be appreciated!

catalina.out of startup with TRACE enabled is attached.

Hi,

The log does not show a problem. Could you please post your /usr/share/tomcat6/.scm/plugins/classpath.xml?

It looks like scm-manager loads the classpath.xml and creates the classloader, but when it searches for installed plugins it does not find the plugins from the classpath.xml. Which java version do you use? It is possible that you use the latest version from oracle?

Sebastian

[Britt Treece]

I have tried all of these with the same behavior...

java-1.6.0-openjdk.x86_64     1.6.0.0-1.65.1.11.14.el6_4

java-1.7.0-openjdk.x86_64     1.7.0.45-2.4.3.2.el6_4

jre-1.7.0_45-fcs.x86_64         1.7.0.45-b18 (Oracle Latest)

[Sebastian Sdorra]

Do you use a security manager? Could you test the behaviour with the standalone version?

Sebastian

[Britt Treece]

I'm not sure what you mean.

SELinux is disabled. The current version i'm running it with is the Oracle version installed via RPM.

[Sebastian Sdorra]

I mean the java security manager. Did you see a "-Djava.security.manager" parameter on your running java process? It is possible that you test the behaviour with the scm-manager standalone version?

Sebastian

[Britt Treece]

I did not set java.security.manager so unless it is a new default of openjdk or the Oracle JRE I assume it is not set.  Here are the java process entries from tomcat running scm and then a tar version of jre running stand alone scm 1.34...

Do you use a proxy server? Could you send me the md5 sums of the following file?

- .scm/plugins/sonia/scm/plugins/scm-activity-plugin/1.9/scm-activity-plugin-1.9.jar

Sebastian

[Britt Treece]

I am not using a proxy server.

[Sebastian Sdorra]

The checksums are both wrong. The real checksum is fddf0e694e87e7851433bc5aefa730d4. I think there must be component in your network that blocks jar files or you have network problems. You could try to remove the content of the plugins folder, restart scm-manager and install the plugins again, but this will only work if the network problems are fixed.

Sebastian

[Britt Treece]

Yep, that was my problem. Thanks for helping identify.
