Symptoms

Notification messages fail to be sent when using the 2.0 EAP SVN Importer for Bitbucket Server.

Cause

This bug was submitted to tmate: http://issues.tmatesoft.com/issue/SGT-706

We've found a bug in SubGit that causes the problem.

Workaround

The instructions are located here:

Find 'abs_path' function in GIT_REPO/hooks/pre-receive and GIT_REPO/hooks/post-receive hooks, it looks like this:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 # computes absolute path from relative. function abs_path() { local FILE="$1" local RESULT="$2" FILE="${FILE%/}" local file_basename="${FILE##*/}" local DC="${FILE%$file_basename}" if [ "x$DC" != "x" ]; then cd "$DC" fi local fileap="$(pwd -P)" local ap_with_basename="$fileap/$file_basename" cd "-" &>/dev/null APFN="${ap_with_basename}" eval $RESULT="'$APFN'" }

And change this function as follows: add pushd call in the beginning of the function and popd call at the end of it:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 # computes absolute path from relative. function abs_path() { pushd $PWD &>/dev/null local FILE="$1" local RESULT="$2" FILE="${FILE%/}" local file_basename="${FILE##*/}" local DC="${FILE%$file_basename}" if [ "x$DC" != "x" ]; then cd "$DC" fi local fileap="$(pwd -P)" local ap_with_basename="$fileap/$file_basename" cd "-" &>/dev/null APFN="${ap_with_basename}" eval $RESULT="'$APFN'" popd &>/dev/null }

Update all the repositories SubGit is installed into this way and notifications should work fine.

Resolution

From tmate:

I've just published an interim build with the fix at

http://subgit.com/interim/SGT-706/

Feel free to use this version for new repositories; you may upgrade existing repositories to this version as well. We'll include the fix into next EAP/RC build.
