Description

We are getting an error when trying to push on stage (reps.allizom.org) with chief. Logs show that there are is a problem with a lock file used by git.

[localhost] err: [localhost] err: fatal: Unable to create '/data/genericrhel6-stage/www/.git/index.lock': File exists.
[localhost] err: [localhost] err:

[localhost] err: [localhost] err: process is running and remove the file manually to continue.

The same happens in our dev deployment (reps-dev.allizom.org) as well.

We need this for pushing a hotfix asap.

It looks like the lock file in stage was left behind as a result of git issues with the generic cluster yesterday.  I've removed that lock file.  Please let me know if you still can not push to stage.

Can you cut and paste a copy of the error that you are getting when pushing to dev?  The error that you are getting with stage comes during the deploy process.  I am able to deploy reps-dev.allizom.org so I'm wondering if you are encountering a different problem.

We don't manually push on dev. There is a cron job that updates our deployment.
The error is similar (I got this from the chief history in reps.dev)

[localhost] err: [localhost] err: fatal: Unable to create '/data/genericrhel6-dev/www/.git/index.lock': File exists.

I pushed on stage and it works fine. Also dev seems to get updated as expected. Marking this one as fixed.

Thank you :)
