De-symlink our repos
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Just adding this as another task in the sprint as our symlinks create both daily complexity & docker related complexity - this task spin-off came our of tech talk & it makes sense

Note this is actually important for our civiproxy docker specifically.

The directories involved are

  • modules (this is a convenience symlink & is the low hanging fruit)
  • civicrm
  • sites

in order to fix the last of these we need to convert the drupal directory from a submodule to a normal folder. Note that we don't care much about the history of the existing submodule because we basically alternate 2 commits in it

  1. drupal stock commit
  2. re-apply wmff patches - eg https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/wikimedia/fundraising/crm/drupal/+/661276

(some of those patches might be unnecessary without the symlinks)

@Cstone I updated ^^

[integration/config@master] Switch fundraising tech setup to use recurse_submodules

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/661829

@Cstone & I forced the change to the drupal repo through just now in the hope the jenkins problem was just trying to find it's way around applying the changes (it appeared to have issues with the remove & re-add).

However, that was not joyous and I believe that we need this merged https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/integration/config/+/661829 before it will work. I'm going to revert the change in the meantime & try to get someone in releng to +2

[wikimedia/fundraising/crm@master] Convert drupal submodule to being 'just a folder'

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/664360

I put up https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/integration/config/+/664359 to remove reference to the drupal modules - that needs releng (@hashar ) to merge it - once merged we need to merge https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/wikimedia/fundraising/crm/+/664360 and then we will no longer need the drupal repo (which can then be fully removed from the ci config & 'closed' whatever that means)

I'm going to dig into the other parts of this once that is merged - it's a trivial change but it requires a change outside our control to be co-ordinated with one in our control.

Note this change supercedes my efforts to switch to using submodules. The main reason for that approach was that it would make the co-ordination simpler but it turned out to be fatally flawed

https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/667727

I just added this into the sprint as we had un-reviewed work from when it was in the sprint that we got merged - some challenges around deployment & we can't deploy anything else unit resolved

Notes of things to do when we push to live

  • (can be done in preparation ) usedrush vget & drush vset to update exchange_rates_google_account_file_path
  • move/copy civicrm.settings.php & settings.php to the new location
  • recreate files symlink
  • drush cc all
  • drush cvapi System.flush

I wound up getting it going again on staging by

  1. fully removing sites folder
  2. it then worked but later stopped -so as a stop gap I put back a symlink but going the reverse way - this seems OK as a transitional measure to me but I'm not sure how we manage in terms of deployment
  3. another cache clear in the UI
  4. removed a dashlet that seemed broken - I think that might be unrelated

I've brought this back to triage as getting this sorted will remove a blocker on drupal work (& save us work now)

We pushed it out because we got too close to big English
