Description

Since try.gitea.io isn't working at the time of this writing I couldn't test it. But after looking at the code the issue should exist there too.

When creating a migration, and the repository is a mirror, the code doesn't seem to create the git hook repositories that it expects to find, resulting in a file not found error. Image 1 shows a newly created repository that isn't a mirror. There we can see three folders that contain the three sample hooks that are presented in the Gitea Web GUI (Image 2). A newly created repository that is a mirror, doesn't create these folders (Image 3).

Is this intended? Is there a reason why you shouldn't be able to create git hooks for mirrored repositories?

Seconding this issue/question. I'd love to use a gitea mirror to execute git hooks on my git server host – having git hooks available would be very helpful.

@rixx any logs?

There aren't really any logs – while the frontend shows a large "500", the logs show a 404, which happens when gitea tries to access the non-existing hook directory (usually there is a post-receive.d).

But that's not really the point – I have manually created a post-receive.d, and while I can edit the post receive hook after that, naturally, it doesn't get triggered when the mirror repository gets updated from the upstream repository.

(Motivation: It would be really cool if this was possible – this would allow to do stuff like continuous delivery from your own servers with very little effort for repositories you can't or won't move away from other platforms.)

If I can provide more help, please tell me – unfortunately the mirror update doesn't seem to log anything to the syslog on my machine, so I can't tell you if it has any issues. Mirror updates definitely happen correctly as before.

Can confirm that this issue appears on 1.5.2 -- both in a Docker and normal environment. Only one relevant line pops up in the log:

2018/10/16 06:07:52 [...ters/repo/setting.go:647 GitHooksEditPost()] [E] hook.Update: open /data/git/repositories/org/project.git/hooks/post-receive.d/post-receive: no such file or directory

Regardless, this issue still occurs.

Can confirm I'm also getting this issue on Gitea version 1.5.3

Yep found out about the same error today. I wanted to start build jobs of another repository, using a mirrored repository since the webhooks can't send custom post parameters

To bad this doesn't work either :(
