I'm stuck at this part: GitLab Shell version? ... FAIL. Please update gitlab-shell to v1.1.0

Version 1.2.0 is installed. Could anybody help how to fix this?

I am following this guide: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/blob/5-0-stable/doc/install/installation.md

Answer 1

Go to /home/git/gitlab-shell and change the version in the VERSION file to 1.1.0, it feels very wrong to me but it works.

I have seen that the version was updated only 3 days ago so it probably has not been fixed yet. Reckon there is code checked for explicit 1.1.0 version and the recent check in on gitlab-shell has broken this.

Hope this helps, but be on the look out for a gitlab update to support this as this fix is not ideal.

Thanks

Answer 2

I would not recommend changing the gitlab-shell version number as stated in @Noel King's answer (the correct version of gitlab-shell is 1.2.0).

Instead, you should update check.rake to look for the correct version of gitlab-shell.

To do this:

1. Edit /home/git/gitlab/lib/tasks/gitlab/check.rake
2. On line 640, change
   
   if gitlab_shell_version.strip == '1.1.0'
   
   to
   
   if gitlab_shell_version.strip == '1.2.0'
3. You can also update lines 641 and 643 to reflect the correct versions in the success/error messages
4. Re-run sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production to verify the issue is fixed

This issue has already been corrected in the main repo, but wasn't included in the 5.0 stable release.
