Import to GitLab.com from an GitLab CE instance export: Unable to decompress
When importing to gitlab.com (GitLab Enterprise Edition 8.10.0-rc10-ee 9d8ba67d) a project exported from a local GitLab instance (GitLab Community Edition 8.9.6 ba3d01c1) I get the The repository could not be imported.
error, with the following error description:
tar (child): /tmp/RackMultipart20160719-20726-fevk25.gz-import: 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
, Unable to decompress /tmp/RackMultipart20160719-20726-fevk25.gz-import into /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/shared/tmp/project_exports/[cut]
If I press Start import
button anyway, I get the Import in progress
page, with no result for at least 40 min. I've tried different visibility setting (the original project is public) etc.
Interestingly the import from the same project doesn't also work on the local instance. I get however a different error description:
undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
and the same behaviour after pressing the Start import
button. Note: I'm not an admin of the local instance, and in principle I'm not interested in import therein.
Let me know if you would like any additional informations or resources.
