Live site not showing commits from dev environment

Hello,

You should be able to do this by checking the box for “Automatically pull new commits” on the live site. Once you do, a new text field will appear with the Revisr Webhook. You’ll need to paste that URL into the Revisr Webhook URL field on dev, so it knows to trigger an update.

You then also set dev to auto push to automate the process completely.

Let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

Thanks for that, however after following those instructions I am still not able to see dev commits or sync the database on the live site.
The only thing that is working for me is my GitHub account is reflecting changes I’m making on my dev site.

Hi,

Do you get any errors when pulling in changes?

Also, please paste in the debug info from the “Help” tab, as it can help to troubleshoot issues with configuration. Thanks!

Yes I am getting errors from the live site:
“Error pulling changes from the remote repository.”
and from the dev site:
Error pushing changes to the remote repository. 3 hours ago
Sent update request to the webhook. 3 hours ago
Successfully pushed 1 commit to origin/master. 3 hours ago
Committed #4d0c4c9 to the local repository. 3 hours ago

From the dev site help tab:
Operating System Darwin
Exec() Enabled true
Git Install Path /usr/bin/git
Git Version git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)
MySQL Install Path Not Found
File Permissions true
Repository Path /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/impact-wrought-iron
Repository Status Click here to view.

From the live site help tab
Operating System Linux
Exec() Enabled true
Git Install Path /usr/bin/git
Git Version git version 1.7.10.4
MySQL Install Path /usr/bin/mysql
File Permissions true
Repository Path /home/impact/www/temp

Can you also please advise how to populate the database fields so I can import and export from both dev and live?

Really appreciate your help!
Thanks

Hi,

Can you please try out the version of Revisr downloadable here:
https://github.com/ExpandedFronts/Revisr/archive/refactor-error.zip

This version passes the error from Git directly to Revisr for pushes and pulls.

Also, for the DB backups, it looks like you just need to set the MySQL Install path on dev. If you’re using MAMP, the path suggested in the “Database” tab may work for you.

Followed your instructions but no luck unfortunately.

I don’t know what the following means or how it could help me:
“This version passes the error from Git directly to Revisr for pushes and pulls.”

Short of step by step instructions, and your analysis of my particular settings I don’t know what else to do.

Hi,

Sorry for not being more specific. Once you have the version above installed, try doing a pull and paste the error here. Thanks!

To my hosting support desk:

“I don’t know if I have technically defined my problem accurately for the plugin’s support staff.
My goal with this plugin is simple. I want to develop locally and have my local changes version controlled and implemented on a duplicate live site, whether that be via a remote GitHub account or simply using this Revisr plugin.

I am not clear on the relationship with GitHub and the sureserver hosted website (which is a duplicate of my local development site) or if in fact there is any relationship.
Perhaps you may be able to help by correctly forming some questions that I might ask support.
I can provide screenshots, login credentials and a description of what I want to achieve, but I have no aptitude for highly technical programming tasks or the discrete contexts in which they are used.”

‘Pull Changes’ using Quick Actions inside local site admin:
Presuming we’re pulling down from remote, the following is the error message in Revisr Dashboard:
fatal: No path specified. See ‘man git-pull’ for valid url syntax

‘Pull Changes’ using Quick Actions inside remote site admin:
/usr/lib/git-core/git-sh-setup: line 238: /bin/uname: Permission denied
fatal: No path specified. See ‘man git-pull’ for valid url syntax

Thanks for the additional info.

First, to answer your question on the relationship between GitHub and the website:

Revisr is sort of a middleman between the two. With a “standard” configuration, when you push and pull in Revisr, you’re never actually pushing/pulling directly from/to your live site, instead you just push and pull from GitHub or BitBucket.

But, Revisr is able to connect to/talk to other instances of Revisr, for example you can configure Revisr on your dev environment to notify Revisr on the live site when changes are pushed to GitHub so it can pull those changes.

Now, onto the issue:

It looks like the “Remote URL” field needs to be changed. If you’re using the HTTPS method to connect to GitHub, you’ll need to pass in the username/password like so:

https://USERNAME:[email protected]/USERNAME/REPO_NAME.git

Once you’ve done that, you should see a “Success” message appear next to the “Remote URL” field when you press tab or move the cursor outside of the field.

Let me know if that helps out with your issue or if you have any questions. Thanks!

No, it’s still not playing!
Revisr in dev site is successfully pushing commits to GitHub but the remote site http:www.temp.impactwroughtiron.com.au is not reading the local database or accepting commits.
Can I send you screenshots of my settings?

Sure, feel free to send an email with screenshots to [email protected] and we can troubleshoot further from there.
