Description

Mirror sync interval time < 10min results in an error "Das Spiegel-Intervall ist ungültig."

Anything in the logs?

This message text is defined in locale_de-DE.ini under the key "mirror_interval_invalid". For reference, the matching text for this in English locale is "The mirror interval is not valid"

The code responsible to generate the error message is in ./routers/repo/setting.go

if err != nil || (interval != 0 && interval < setting.Mirror.MinInterval) {
    ctx.Data["Err_Interval"] = true
    ctx.RenderWithErr(ctx.Tr("repo.mirror_interval_invalid"), tplSettingsOptions, &form)

The definition of the MinInterval setting is mentioned in ./modules/setting/setting.go and seems to supply the 10 minute setting default.

Mirror.MinInterval = sec.Key("MIN_INTERVAL").MustDuration(10 * time.Minute)

The MIN_INTERVAL setting in the example app.ini file (./custom/conf/app.ini.sample) shows 10 min & a comment that the minimum is 1 minute.

[mirror]
; Default interval as a duration between each check
DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 8h
; Min interval as a duration must be > 1m
MIN_INTERVAL = 10m

This seems to be done back in #1407 .
I am not sure if any specific settings of MIN_INTERVAL (ex: under 1 min or under 10 min) are at risk of being ineffective.

Can you please confirm if your app.ini file has any setting for MIN_INTERVAL value?

./custom/conf/app.ini.sample -> can you give me the absolute path??

[bwenrich]

Sorry that example app.ini is at https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea/blob/master/custom/conf/app.ini.sample#L722

If you need some logs, i can send them to you...

[jayjupdhig]

So you see, there are not INTERVAL variables set, so it seems to use the default value for minimum "10m0s" ?

Then i can set MIN_INTERVAL = 1m0s (or whatever) in /etc/gitea/app.ini for user-defined minium value?

[jayjupdhig]

My ini file does also not contain a "mirror" section, so i added one:

[mirror]
MIN_INTERVAL     = 30s
DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 8h

And not it works, now i can defined a value of, e.g., 3m0s with message "Repository-Einstellungen wurden aktualisiert."

:-)

Thank you very much - have a nice day!

[jayjupdhig]

I can save it and i see "Zuletzt synchronisiert 2019-09-23 15:07:40 +0200 CEST" (=today, that is correct) on the mirroring setings.

But on the front page, i still see "Aktualisiert vor 2 Tagen" (=2 days ago) for last refresh.

So that 2 date values don't match to each other - something seems still to be inconsistent - so the problem is not solved yet...

@martijintro You should make your best effort to keep languages other than English from your comments. I have trouble following your problem.
BTW, 30s is an invalid MIN_INTERVAL. 1 minute is the minimum.
I get the feeling that you've solved it already?

[jayjupdhig]

""Zuletzt synchronisiert 2019-09-23 15:07:40 +0200 CEST""
=Last synchronized 2019-09-23 15:07:40 +0200 CEST

""Aktualisiert vor 2 Tagen""
=Updated 2 days ago

Now i changed it to:

[mirror]
MIN_INTERVAL     = 1m
DEFAULT_INTERVAL = 8h

And i changed the sync time in the repo mirror settings to 1m. Will look what happens now...

[jayjupdhig]

The text on the top of the manual sync button (on repo mirror settings) still shows me a different (current) data value - that seems to be correct, synced a few secs ago.

But on the main page, i still see "x days" ago.

So that values don't fit to each other..

[guillep2k]

OK, but that seems to be a different problem. Please close this issue and create another with that description.

[jayjupdhig]

OK, done, thank you.
