After updating to 2.4.0beta10 some topics from a specific category are not viewable

samaaron · February 9, 2020, 4:46pm

I did an update to 2.4.0beta10 (I think from beta8).

Some of the topics from one of my categories are no longer visible. However, they appear in the main front-page topic link. For example:

If I click on the topic Bela Lugosi drum beat (Bauhaus), you see this;

Yet, weirdly, it appears just fine in the search:

I attempted the update via the web interface which failed. So I logged on and did it via the terminal.

Weirdly, I am also unable to roll back to backups (which I attempted to do in case that fixed things for me). I get this error which may or may not be related:

Any help would be appreciated

This looks like an index corruption to me, I am guessing you somehow have duplicate data in that table.

Maybe start by deleting the duplicate row, not sure how it happened.

We have seen a similar corrupt index here:

samaaron · February 10, 2020, 7:15pm

Argh, that’s pretty terrifying.

I’m very concerned of making things a lot worse if I start poking around. I don’t know the schema at all and don’t even know how to get into the database console.

I’m also doubly worried that I can’t even roll back to a backup if I totally mess things up

Falco · February 10, 2020, 7:23pm

This has nothing to do with the database, it is just your clipboard theme component causing a CSP violation. Try to disable that theme-component.

samaaron · February 10, 2020, 8:32pm

@Falco - amazing, thanks. I definitely would never have figured that out myself. Strange that it only started up recently, but I guess that’s the nature of a moving platform…

Falco · February 10, 2020, 9:26pm

That solves the immediate problem of a topic not rendering.

That done, what @sam said still applies. The log you shared earlier shows an underlying problem with your database.

You may want to debug that, or hire someone to, sooner rather than later, because having broken backups is a very bad thing waiting to happen.

samaaron · February 10, 2020, 9:41pm

Yes, good point - but lol @ the idea of hiring someone. Sonic Pi is an open source project and I’m struggling to find enough money to support me - never mind paying someone to do anything specific like this.

I’ll see if I can figure it out myself. However, if I mess things up - I guess there’s no way back if the backups are broken

samaaron · February 10, 2020, 9:49pm

Also, how might I test whether things are fixed without attempting to actually roll back to a backup. Is there a way of doing a dummy roll-back?

Falco · February 10, 2020, 9:59pm

You could download the backup locally and try to restore it using pg_dump. As it appears to be a duplicated entry, maybe you can try to detect the error by issuing a select (maybe even using data-explorer) over the duplicated columns.

sam · February 11, 2020, 5:56am

I love sonic pi and the mission of sonic pi it is one cool project. We could host you under our free plan, is the only sticking point here that you want to keep your domain? We can waive that.

If you move to our hosting we would sort out the backup as part of the migration to our servers.

samaaron · February 11, 2020, 8:49am

Crikey - that would be remarkably kind of you.

To be honest, I hadn’t even realised that you offered a free plan. Was that there from the start? By now, the domain is pretty tied in with the identity so it would be wonderful if you could allow me to continue using it after migration.

What do I need to do to get started? Make a full backup and send it to you? Then point my dns at your server? Do you also manage email sending?

rishabh · February 11, 2020, 11:06am

Hey Sam,

Our free plans have been around for a while:

We’ll be in touch soon
