Description

When multiple trac projects are migrated with rake redmine:migrate_from_trac, any project after the first one fails to be migrated. It also appears that no new issues can be created (issues/add page produces 'internal error.') Upon further investigation, both problems appear to be related with the primary key sequences: after the import, the primary key sequence is not reset, and the next object that is created will try to use a duplicate primary key value.

This occurs in a setup using Postgres. I have not tested with any other databases, so it's possible that this problem is particular to Postgres.

Actions #1

Updated by Tomoki Tsuchida about 16 years ago

I have worked around this problem by modifying lib/tasks/migrate_from_trac.rake: I added

def self.reset_pk(klass)
    klass.connection.reset_pk_sequence!(klass.table_name) if klass.connection.respond_to?('reset_pk_sequence!')
end

and for each of the business objects

reset_pk WikiContent
reset_pk Wiki

etc. After this, I could import multiple projects and create new issues without failure.

This problem was fixed in r1099 for postgresql (it doesn't occur with mysql and sqlite).
Note that only the sequence on the 'issues' table need to be updated.

Btw, I'll change my fix to use reset_sequence! instead. Thanks.
