/upgrade just asked me to do a git pull and a rebuild. Did so, but same error (most recent log above).

Check the username length and the max/min length you permit for usernames. Chances are it no longer abides by the settings.

3

They’re set for 3-20.
Old username is length of 10, new username is length of 11.

4

Hmm… works for me on the same version of Discourse you are on. Do you have any plugins installed that may be interfering?

Try upgrading to latest? This has been a problem for quite some time judging from the TODO comments in our codebase.

“Username must be unique”

Well! That’s quite a bit more useful. :stuck_out_tongue: Thanks.

(It indeed wasn’t unique.)

Just curious, are you updating the username via the API?

10

I’ve had a 500 error when changing a user’s email address the other day (more precisely, he got the error when clicking the confirmation link). Could this be related?

11

Nope not related. This is in regards to changing a user’s username so it doesn’t affect changing a user’s email at all.

Nay, I was not. <malformed html filler!>

13

That is strange because the client would have prevented you from submitting a name that was already taken.

14

Maybe related to SSO and automatic user creation?

15

I deleted that existing user (had 0 posts) and proceeded with my rename, but from the logs I see:

created_at: 2013-01-02 18:01:31 UTC
trust_level: 1
last_seen_at: 2013-01-02 18:01:52 UTC
last_emailed_at: 2016-04-14 09:26:33 UTC

I did the import in 2016, around April 14th looks right.
So… it was an imported user… from very old forum. Doesn’t look like they ever logged in with that particular account?

Not sure if that helps.
