Symptom 1

After a major Fisheye upgrade, from e.g. 2.3.6 to 2.7.15, Fisheye indexing job fails with this error:

2012-08-09 15:55:38,002 WARN - Found a file revision without a path in changeset 40
2012-08-09 15:55:38,004 ERROR - Problem processing revisions from repo MyRepoName due to class java.lang.NullPointerException - null
java.lang.NullPointerException

Symptom 2

Crucible fails to index the SVN repository. And the following error message is appearing at UI when trying to start the repository:

And,


Cause

In both of the cases above, the repository indexes have become corrupt.

Resolution

The repository data has to be be re-indexed from scratch. To do so, please follow these steps:

  1. Shut down the Fisheye instance
  2. Delete the FISHEYE_INST/var/cache/MyRepoName directory
  3. Start the Fisheye instance again

Please replace MyRepoName in step 2 by the name of the problematic repository.

Please note:

If this is a huge repository, Fisheye may take a while to finish re-indexing it from scratch. See this document on how to avoid long reindex times when upgrading.
