Error while trying to merge from Github Repo

[lime517]

This is the error that appears. There are hundreds of repeat entries of this error in the debug log within a few seconds.

PHP Warning: flock() expects parameter 1 to be resource, bool given in /sites/redacted.dev/files/wp-content/plugins/gitium/functions.php on line 224

Here's what's on line 224:
while ( ! flock( $gitium_lock_handle, LOCK_EX | LOCK_NB ) ) {

And $gitium_lock_handle is defined over on line 218:
$gitium_lock_handle = fopen( $gitium_lock_path, 'w+' );

fopen() only returns boolean when it fails to open the file. This makes me think this might be a permissions issue?

Any ideas?

Thank you @lime517 for reporting this. This seems to be related to #182. We'll try to address this issue in the following weeks.

This is mainly because /tmp folder is not accessible to Gitium, most likely because you're not on a standard Linux server with a writable /tmp folder? You can check that /tmp is writable for the PHP user and if it exists at all.

Fixed in #187 by dynamic tmp detection function.
