Project exports on staging fail with `Object Storage is not enabled`
While working on https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues/208100 we ran into problems with exporting some projects on staging. While the export REST API doesn't expose any failure status yet, we were able to reproduce this behavior when trying to manually (i.e. via the web UI) export this test project: https://staging.gitlab.com/mk-import-tests/glhq-test-import
When exporting this project, an email notification is sent saying:
Project glhq-test-import couldn't be exported.
The errors we encountered were:
* Object Storage is not enabled
Our performance measurement jobs are therfore failing and time out after 1 hour.
The observed behavior is currently that smaller projects succeed to export, while larger projects don't, so it's likely that project size (or file sizes) have some bearing on the matter. Since we are trying to take performance measurements for exporting large projects, this is currently blocking us.
Here is a log entry from sidekiq for a recent failure.
