Problem

Adding a Mercurial repository with Large Files extension enabled makes the Fisheye index fail:

The following appears in the atlassian-fisheye-yyyy-MM-dd.log:

Or the following appears in the atlassian-fisheye-yyyy-MM-dd.log:

2020-08-25 00:27:35,251 WARN  [InitPing2 reponame ] fisheye IndexingPingRequest-doRequest - Exception during Fisheye Incremental Indexing of reponame (reponame): com.cenqua.fisheye.config.ConfigException: Unable to pull from remote repository: http://mercurialuser@myhost/hg/reponame
     - [abort: remote error:, , This repository uses the largefiles extension., , Please enable it in your Mercurial config file.]
     - pulling from http://mercurialuser:XXXX@myhost/hg/reponame


Cause

The repository has Large Files extension enabled and the same is not enabled in Fisheye server.

Workaround

  1. Edit the Mercurial configuration file found in the server hosting Fisheye:
    1. In Linux / MacOS environments, this file may be /home/<fisheye_user>/.hgrc or /home/<fisheye_user>/mercurial.ini
    2. In Windows environments this file may be %USERPROFILE%\.hgrc or %USERPROFILE%\mercurial.ini:

  2. Enable the extension by adding the following to the file:

    [extensions]
largefiles =

  3. After enabling the extension you may need to configure it in a new section after the [extensions] section called [largefiles]:

    [largefiles]
patterns = re:.*\.(png|bmp|jpg|zip|tar|tar.gz|rar)$
minsize = 10

    Where, according to Mercurial documentation:

    • The patterns setting allows you to specify specific space-separated filename patterns that should always be tracked as large files.
    • The value of minsize setting is given in Megabytes and the default is 10. You may want to try configuring a higher value for this setting.
  4. In Fisheye, go to the repository options and on the Maintenance tab hit :
  5. Wait for the repository to be re-cloned and re-indexed from scratch.

The indexed repository will not show content for the large files in the diff or source panels but only the hash for the large file:
