Question

When I try to create a Mercurial Repository for a Project in Redmine 1.4 I am getting the following error: It used to work perfectly fine with Redmine 1.3

Seems like you’re running the redmine_checkout plugin together with Redmine 1.4, and the latest released version (0.5) of redmine_checkout isn’t ready for Redmine 1.4.

However there are patches, especially from user tonybarbieri, on Github. I merged them and added another fix for running it with Ruby 1.9.3, you can find the result also on Github.

So the solution is to update your redmine_checkout plugin version to the latest version on Git master (e.g. by cloning my Github repository):

cd vendor/plugins
rm -R redmine_checkout
git clone git://github.com/rkallensee/redmine_checkout.git redmine_checkout

Don’t forget to run the plugin migrations from the Redmine installation directory:

rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production

Probably you have to run

bundle install --without development test

from the Redmine installation directory again (at least I had to – otherwise the rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production command failed – even if bundle install didn’t install any new gems).

Restart your Redmine installation and you should be fine!
