Importing a git bare repo, rhodecode shows it empty

1

Hello,

It face a problem when wanting to import a git repository into RhodeCode CE.

I upload the bare repo in the correct directory via a tar archive, untar it, and use “Remap and rescan” from the admin console. The repo is correctly detected, but completely empty.
If I go into the repo’s directory and hit git log, I can see my commits.

I found the following in community.log:

2017-01-06 16:53:36.319 INFO  [rhodecode.lib.base] IP: 10.67.6.29 User: <AuthUser('id:2[admin] ip:10.67.6.29 auth:True')> accessed /_admin/settings/mapping [admin/settings.settings_mapping_update]

OK, after checking back an hour after, it shows correctly in the interface. It would be nice to show the user that the repository is being scanned, instead of being empty

Usually remap and rescann is for initial importing.

There’s a default cache for 1hr. You can manually triggering cache purge(under repo > settings >cache). It cna be also done via API. We’ll investigate however if remap and rescann should purge cache when importing, just to provide a better experience.
