Importing project into gitlab.com takes forever and or fails with no such file or directory
Summary
Trying to move projects from a selfhosted gitlab installation to gitlab.com. import fails or times out.
Steps to reproduce
- Create a docker installation of gitlab (mine was
9.2.5-ce.0
, but I tried withgitlab-ce:latest
too), create a project, add an issue, add a readme, go to settings and hit export. - go to gitlab.com, create a new project and import from
gitlab export
button.
Wait for 54000 seconds
It will fail with
Import timed out. Import took longer than 54000 seconds
or something like this:
Error importing repository into some_group/some_project - tar (child): [REPO EXPORT PATH]/uploads/a7a1e1e3f1bdfe5f918d2afb4dd4d41a_some_project: Cannot open: No such file or directory
tar (child): Error is not recoverable: exiting now
tar: Child returned status 2
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
, undefined method `join' for nil:NilClass
Did you mean? JSON
You can give a try with the following import-testing
exported file:
2017-09-18_18-29-223_GabLeRoux_import-testing_export.tar.gz
I've sent it here: https://gitlab.com/gableroux/testing-import/import And it's taking quite some time for such an empty project ;)
What is the current bug behavior?
I can't import projects from this import feature and I really want this as I want to bring in issues.
What is the expected correct behavior?
Project should be imported with issues, wiki, deployment key, etc.
Relevant logs and/or screenshots
Output of checks
This bug happens on GitLab.com
Possible fixes
Selfhosting :( but for some reason, when I try to go to the import page, it gives me 404 on my local docker-compose installation so I can't even reproduce locally, I don't reach it, but that's probably an other issue. Import Works in a local gitlab installation.
