Shallow git fetch regression in discourse_docker

Support
18

Thanks for clarifying: that’s exactly the part I was missing. For those who are confused in the same way I was, getting a release tag of discourse can be done by:

  • Making sure the version parameter is not set in app.yml, for instance:
    params:
  db_default_text_search_config: "pg_catalog.english"
  #  version: stable
  • Adding code to checkout the desired version towards the end of app.yml, for instance:
    hooks:
  after_code:
    - exec:
        cd: $home/plugins
        cmd:
          - git clone https://github.com/discourse/docker_manager.git
+    - exec:
+        cd: $home
+        cmd:
+          - git fetch --depth=1 origin tag v2.5.0 --no-tags
+          - git checkout v2.5.0

When running ./launcher rebuild app here is what happens:

  • The default version (i.e. the test_passed branch) is checked out.
  • The v2.5.0 tag is fetched and checked out, effectively replacing the previous version
