observation¶

Sometimes commiting needles with the push to the needle gitlab repo can fail, e.g. see
see attached screenshot

] Running cmd: git --git-dir /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/sle-12/products/sle/needles/.git --work-tree /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/sle-12/products/sle/needles push

steps to reproduce¶

probably hard to reproduce unless you mock a non-available gitlab server

problem¶

Does not seem to happen often. Maybe a race condition or some issue with the gitlab server. I (okurz) don't know if this also has been seen on o3 pushing to github.

suggestion¶

• At least the user feedback could be improved.
• Retry with timeout and better user feedback

workaround¶

login manually to osd (or ask someone to do it) and try the push as user "geekotest", e.g. sudo -u geekotest git push from the needles repo working dir. Don't recreate the needle. git commits will be created.
