Plugin breaks if gitolite user == redmine user

[Nightreaver]

Hello

So im about to use this plugin now but I can't get it working

my gitolite runs under the user 'redmine' so I changed
:gitolite_user => 'redmine',

whenever I try to configure the package I get internal error
The logfile prints:

2015-10-22 05:20:34 +0200 [ERROR] Error while getting Gitolite infos, check your SSH keys (path, permissions) or your Git user.
2015-10-22 05:20:34 +0200 [INFO] Testing if Redmine user 'redmine' can sudo to Gitolite user 'git'...
2015-10-22 05:20:34 +0200 [ERROR] Error while testing can_redmine_sudo_to_gitolite_user
2015-10-22 05:20:45 +0200 [ERROR] Error while getting Gitolite infos, check your SSH keys (path, permissions) or your Git user.

I've done a lots of reloading and checked the changes of init.rb apply - they do. but it still breaks on this part.
Why does it need to sudo into 'git'... its not used! where does this git-user come from?

are the default-settings from init.rb are cached/stored somewhere?

nevermind - its stored in the database after migration I think. You should mention to check the init.rb config-settings before installation in your 'Get started'!

Thanks

I also bumped into this problem, but, after while, I found this: http://redmine-git-hosting.io/how-to/maintain/ , "To restore/update your plugin settings" section.

EDIT: Finally my settings.yml got accepted. :)

My user 'gitolite' differs from default 'git', that's why I try to change the plugin parameter for gitolite_user as well.
Unlike nightreaver I don't get the plugin to recognize my modifications (*1):

2016-08-20 18:59:25 +0200 [ERROR] Error while getting Gitolite infos, check your SSH keys (path, permissions) or your Git user.
2016-08-20 18:59:25 +0200 [INFO] Testing if Redmine user 'redmine' can sudo to Gitolite user 'git'...

2016-08-20 18:59:25 +0200 [ERROR] Error while getting Gitolite infos, check your SSH keys (path, permissions) or your Git user.

I've followed two approaches as described in the docs (*2).
(a) Utilize redmine_git_hosting/settings.yml
I first tried to adapt the default_settings.yml and saved it to plugin's main folder as settings.yml. After updating the database it became obvious that the change of gitolite_user didn't seem to have any effect (*3). The correction might be valid, cause chaging a string is all it needs. The plugin was still looking for 'git', not 'gitolite'.
Did I miss a step to set up the settings.yml?

While restoring the default settings the command line signals that it's processing updates in init.rb.
(b) Changing redmine_git_hosting/init.rb
Google didn't bring up an example init-ruby-file. This is what I ended up as a plausible solution.

settings({ partial: 'settings/redmine_git_hosting', default: RedmineGitHosting.settings, gitolite_user: 'gitolite' })

After updating the database it became obvious that appending gitolite_user isn't a solution here.
Is the variable gitolite_user expected to be a subordinate of default?

Redmine 3.2 is running on Apache Passenger with Redmine Git Hosting (1.2.0) and Gitolite3.

Great appreciation for redmine_git_hosting! :) I'm just starting to get familiar with the concepts of ruby, gems and bundler.
Thanks in advance for your valuable hints and support.

@cschlusche about the init.rb file :

Before RGH 1.2, default settings was stored in plugin's init.rb file : example.

Now default settings are stored in lib/default_settings.yml. This file must not be edited by users.

Instead copy the settings you want to override in redmine_git_hosting/settings.yml then do a

RAILS_ENV=production rake redmine_git_hosting:restore_default_settings
