Hi,
I work with a group that has used Review Board for years. We started with
a pserver cvs repository named Nitro that worked up through 2017. We
switched to a git repository named Nitro-GIT about the end of 2017 and the
cvs repository was no longer used. Still whenever we went to start a new
review request the cvs repository would show up in the left-hand margin.
However, right around the end of 2018 the following error message started
to show up in the review board log just as a new review request was being
started:
2018-12-24 12:08:15,253 - ERROR - - root - Error loading SCMTool for
repository "Nitro" (ID 1)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/sierra/sbs6/reviewboard/apps/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard/reviews/views.py",
line 280, in new_review_request
scmtool = repo.get_scmtool()
File
"/sierra/sbs6/reviewboard/apps/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard/scmtools/models.py",
line 231, in get_scmtool
return cls(self)
File
"/sierra/sbs6/reviewboard/apps/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard/scmtools/cvs.py",
line 65, in __init__
self.client = CVSClient(self.cvsroot, self.repopath, local_site_name)
File
"/sierra/sbs6/reviewboard/apps/reviewboard/htdocs/reviewboard/scmtools/cvs.py",
line 433, in __init__
self.currentdir = os.getcwd()
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
The result would be that "Nitro" would (sometimes I think) not show up in
the left-hand margin as a repository that could be chosen from. This was
not a problem at the time because everyone had switched to Nitro-GIT. I
doubt anyone even noticed that Nitro was missing considering that I never
heard anyone complain.
This behavior continues to this day, but all of a sudden it's a problem
that I really want to fix. The reason is that we have started to work on a
new CVS repository, configured similarly wrt Nitro, that is also failing to
work with Review Board. It often cannot be seen in the left-hand margin
when trying to create a new review request. Diffs cannot be uploaded.
Even adding descriptions, etc., is problematic. And the error at line 433
of cvs.py appears continually in the review board log file.
I have limited administrative privileges, but enough that I have access to
the Admin UI. So far though I can't divine what's wrong with any of the
repository configuration, the review board server, or the cvs servers.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We're using version 2.5.13.1.
Thanks,
--Mike
