Error on rebuild : No child processes (Errno::ECHILD) from /pups/lib/pups/exec_command.rb:88:in `block in spawn'

Hi. wanted to install a plugin (data explorer) so I added the git line in my app.yml.
The rebuild failed:

I thought it was maybe because of the plugin, so I removed it from my app.yml and rebuilt again, same error.
My Discourse works at this time, but I can’t rebuild and it may cause issues in the future so I need to resolve this.

Any idea how to fix it?

This is a known issue in our new image cc @falco @sam there is an error being reported as part of the rebuild, every time.

I see what this is:

Will sort out pups to allow for this.

Okay so nothing to do on my side, just waiting for an update I guess :slight_smile:

Oh the particular error you are seeing in the logs (which I just fixed) is unrelated.

bundle exec rake assets:precompile is failing for you which is usually due to plugins. I would try rebuilding again and triple check there are no plugins involved.

Yes it was because of a plugin. Weird, it didn’t cause this issue before.
