GitLab sidekiq failing test

gitlab, rake, rubygems

Solution

That kind of command:

 sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start

not only needs to be run in the gitlab cloned repo, but also need a `RAILS_ENV=production` to function properly:

 sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start RAILS_ENV=production

See the troubleshooting page:

- `Error`: `no such file to load -- rb-inotify` when running `rake` (as seen in #1752)

- `Problem`: task run in wrong environment

- `Solution`: add `RAILS_ENV=production` to the end of the command

Problem

I am following the instructions here: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/4-1-stable/doc/install/databases.md When I try to run the tests: ``` sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production ``` The first test returns orange headers, the second test shows an error with Sidekiq: ``` Checking Sidekiq ... Running? ... no Try fixing it: sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start For more information see: doc/install/installation.md in section "Install Init Script" see log/sidekiq.log for possible errors Please fix the error above and rerun the checks. Checking Sidekiq ... Finished ``` When I run `sudo -u gitlab -H bundle exec rake sidekiq:start`, I get the following error: ``` rake aborted! cannot load such file -- rb-inotify /home/gitlab/gitlab/config/application.rb:9:in `<top (required)>' /home/gitlab/gitlab/Rakefile:5:in `require' /home/gitlab/gitlab/Rakefile:5:in `<top (required)>' (See full trace by running task with --trace) ``` When I run trace, I get the following output: ``` rake aborted! cannot load such file -- rb-inotify /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.2.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:68:in `require' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.2.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:68:in `block (2 levels) in require' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.2.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:66:in `each' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.2.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:66:in `block in require' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.2.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:55:in `each' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.2.3/lib/bundler/runtime.rb:55:in `require' /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/bundler-1.2.3/lib/bundler.rb:128:in `require' /home/gitlab/gitlab/config/application.rb:9:in `<top (required)>' /home/gitlab/gitlab/Rakefile:5:in `require' /home/gitlab/gitlab/Rakefile:5:in `<top (required)>' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/rake_module.rb:25:in `load' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/rake_module.rb:25:in `load_rakefile' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/application.rb:583:in `raw_load_rakefile' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/application.rb:89:in `block in load_rakefile' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/application.rb:160:in `standard_exception_handling' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/application.rb:88:in `load_rakefile' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/application.rb:72:in `block in run' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/application.rb:160:in `standard_exception_handling' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/lib/rake/application.rb:70:in `run' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/gems/rake-10.0.3/bin/rake:33:in `<top (required)>' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin/rake:23:in `load' /home/gitlab/gitlab/vendor/bundle/ruby/1.9.1/bin/rake:23:in `<main>' ``` I have already attempted to manually install `rb-inotify` to correct the issue: ``` sudo gem install rb-inotify ``` It says that it is successful, but the tests still do not work! Please advise! Thanks
