Command line restore for web only container can't load thor

dev
#1

I just tried to do a restore on a web_only container and it whines that it can’t load thor when it tries to load_rails. (If you don’t actually try to restore, it doesn’t fail --and OMG, how awesome is it that it suggests filenames and you can then copy and paste from a list!!! :+1: I don’t know how long that’s been there, but I was psyched to find it.)

Try bundle exec script/discourse?

#3

No joy with bundle exec. Then it can’t connect to the database.

And I tried doing a gem install thor first, but that didn’t solve it either.

And I also tested it on a plain old single-container install. (I didn’t think that was it.)

It used to work: Is there any way to restore your site from backup in the terminal? . And I thought I’d done it recently.

#4

What is the exact error?

The gem is installed by default discourse/Gemfile at master · discourse/discourse · GitHub

So if you run discourse restore with no arguments, it prints something like this:

You must provide a filename to restore. Did you mean one of the following?

script/discourse restore ipb-import-2017-08-23-165728-v20170605014820.tar.gz
script/discourse restore ipb-import-2017-08-22-180715-v20170605014820.tar.gz

And then if you copy-paste on of those, it runs script/discourse rather tahn discourse, and that doesn’t work.

And I was so excited about the “copy this line” feature.

I’ll submit a PR Real Soon Now.

This should do it.

I think it would be better if we figure out what the current path is and suggest the appropriate command. Running script/discourse is right if I’m in the /var/www/discourse directory.

Sounds right.

Have you done that recently? That’s where I discovered this problem, and why I started the thread. This is for enable_restore, but it’s the same can’t-load-rails problem.

bundle exec script/discourse is the solution here. The second problem is because you were running bundle exec script/discourse while you were in /var/www/discourse/script instead of /var/www/discourse.

#10

So I guess that script/discourse works in a development environment and the discourse wrapper works in production? Is there a way for the script to tell?

And, really, this is a fringe feature that tens of people will probably ever use.

In production, running discourse instead of script/discourse works.
