#crowbar

tboerger: did you want feedbacks about building roxy on ubuntu? I know what might be the error but honestly I don't know how to fix in an elegant way.

kirves: sure

kirves: still failing?

kirves: i built with changing the rails configs to 2.3.17

kirves: it was succesfull

ogzy: and it works?

Yup, gimme a sec and I'll try to explain what the problem seems to be

ogzy: build is successful, installation is not

do you want to create a pull request? :)

tboerger: yeah but after the installation some gems are missing

hum... maybe some of the bootstrap related are missing? let me check...

No, the problem is the rake db:sessions:create and rake db:migrate

kirves: where?

Let me get the right line in the source file

brb

kirves: it stucks at the barclamp installation but when you go to /opt/dell/crowbar_framework/ and run rake gems:install it continues

hum... thinking about where it should be set within ubuntu build process

tboerger: also sqlite3 gem is missing after the installation, these are what i discovered from the production.log

i will take a look at the missing gems within crowbar.yml

that should get fixed quite easy like the rails version mismatch

tboerger: where do you build crowbar?and why is the documentation cover only ubuntu?

got to finalize my tests on software raid first... afterwards i can take a look at it ;)

tboerger: it is clear that it does not work as documented

ogzy: i've got only a development environment. everything else is packaged by our jenkins.

Line 370

That line fails (also, /usr/local/bin/rake is version 10.x.x and does not work) while /usr/bin/rake is version 8.2.2 and works

kirves: and there is a problem with this call?

hum...

Sorry, forgot to mention: rails is still missing at that point

And even if it has it, it uses the wrong rake bin

But at that point it has permission issues on /var/log/crowbar/*

than there should be something bad within the install-chef script -.-

we are using https://github.com/crowbar/crowbar/blob/master/... because we are building on suse only

Yup, looks like it

i hope we get up some automated testing for ubuntu too

I'll try and diff the files to see if something is different between the two

Something I can fix, I hope

tboerger: when i check the production.log i was seeing some missing gems which are already mentioned at the Rakefile under /opt/dell/crowbar_framework

ogzy: true, you can solve it by running rake gem:install in the crowbar_framework dir. But indeed, you're right

the missing gems can get fixed quite easy

i try to create a pull request today

tboerger: i did, i also gem install sqlite not i can see crowbar ui but with a 500 error page

ogzy: try "bluepill chef-server restart" and "bluepill crowbar-webserver restart"

It should work, bring up the environment and fail the node deletion tests

kirves: still same page saying something went wrong

kirves: ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid (Could not find table 'sessions'): need to create the db it seems, better to edit the line 370 and retry installation it seems

Oh, k, it was the rake tasks going wrong

just to be sure, rake -V

and which rake

kirves: rake, version 10.1.1

kirves: /usr/local/bin/rake

ok, /usr/bin/rake -V

kirves: and yours?

same as you, you should force /usr/bin/rake instead of /usr/local/bin/rake

kirves: lets see whether reinstalling works

It won't, I had to link /usr/local/bin/rake to /usr/bin/rake to get beyond that step

kirves: ok i am doing that also

where did the /usr/local/bin/rake come from? oO

kirves: rake, version 0.9.2.2 for /usr/bin/rake -V

ok

tboerger: I don't know :D

kirves: and you restart chef*server and crowbar-webserver?

it rake db:migrate works

if*

kirves: where do you run rake db:migrate?

In /opt/dell/crowbar_framework

kirves:

rake aborted!

undefined method `task'

tboerger: /usr/local/bin/rake it does not coming via apt, i checked with dpkg -S no result returned

ogzy: did you run /usr/bin/rake?

tboerger: I really don't know where it comes from :D

tboerger: what should be the rake version while running rake db:migrate?

kirves: i run but still 500 error page

I must be forgetting something then, try and check the logs

kirves: unable to connect to node rabbit@crowbar

o_O

Never seen that. Did you use crowbar as you FQDN?

kirves: no

Really, I've never seen that error message :/

kirves: can you check your history about what you did except from db:migrate

I did nothing on the admin node: I modified the install-chef.sh file and rebuild the iso every time

So I don't have any history

oh

kirves: you changed the 2-370 line only?

kirves: 370 sorry

Added something and removed something else to make rake work. However do not expect evrything to work flawlessly after that

Around that line, yes

kirves: is it a secret :)

Nope, it's not a secret: it's exactly what you're doing now on the admin node. I made so many modifications to that script that it became a mess and decided to start from scratch

So I don't have that anymore

kirves: ok, do you remember whether rake command is working when the script comes at line 370?

It doesn't work since it uses the wrong rake bin and at that point it is still missing libsqlite-dev (apt) and some gems (rake gems:install)

how did you guys build and test the ubuntu stuff?

tboerger: i can share my build stuff

ogzy: do that please... never tried to build and iso :)

may be i can fix the bad stuff easily that you guys can start on roxy :)

tboerger: ok doing now, lets solve this ubuntu issue, i am getting sick of these problems

and than i can port it directly to stoney too

but i think i cant solve it until monday

tboerger: what do tou mean how we built and test the ubuntu stuff? I followed the guide on github and tested on a dedicated VM

kirves: as i said, i never tried anything in the direction of ubuntu or building iso on my own

i always used only the suse way and working directly in the github repos with a pretty complicated setup.

Oh, I thought it was pretty similar, sorry :)

suse way is simply install the packages and execute the install chef suse script. and github way is based on a prebuilt image where i execute install suse chef. so it's pretty different for me :D

tboerger: https://github.com/oguzy/crowbar-build

tboerger: just one thing, you may not need to copt tftpboot, this time i see a tftpboot created so check whether a directory under .crowbar-cache-dir is created after sledgehammer

tboerger: any documentation for suse way by the way?

tboerger: will be happy if we solve the built issue for ubuntu

for my suse setup no open documentation... event the rpm repos are not available in the public -.-

tboerger: some documentation is written here also which may help: http://www.yet.org/2013/11/crowbar-build-iso/

i think i can dive into that a little bit after the weekend

tboerger: i can give a hand if you need

tboerger: the order of scripts, pre, git and iso .sh, i assume you got what they do

tboerger: oguz is the user at my system

yeah, i will dive in on monday

if something is unclear i will ping you :)

tboerger: dell_bios_roxy i already kept the bios files downloded so just copying them eitherwise it download 2GB exe

tboerger: great

so we need to rebuild the iso now :)

tboerger: it is not merged yet right?
