Incorrect version of sqlite is required

[alesrosina]

When deploying to Openshift, I got an error:

ImproperlyConfigured: SQLite 3.8.3 or later is required (found 3.7.17).

This happens in a step

python manage.py collectstatic --noinput

of .s2i/action_hooks/build.

I did not change any configuration on OpenShift, I just wanted to rebuild image, to get the latest version deployed - this means pulling from git latest from master.

See full error stack:

Handled exception ImproperlyConfigured: SQLite 3.8.3 or later is required (found 3.7.17).

This is probably a Django requirement, Weblate doesn't limit this anyhow.

[alesrosina]

Probably. But googling didn't find anything I could fix it with, so maybe any hints of what can I do?

[nijel]

First of all you should not be using sqlite for production :-). I'm not sure how to upgrade sqlite in openshift environment...

The Django 2.2 release changed this:

The minimum supported version of SQLite is increased from 3.7.15 to 3.8.3.

[alesrosina]

Yes, I agree! It is in a "build" phase, when doing deployment postgres is used. But yes, this seems like openshift config could be fixed somehow. Will try to investigate in this direction.

[nijel]

Alternatively you can limit Django to < 2.2...

[alesrosina]

@nijel ok, I've found the solution, so I've opened new merge request: #2676

Upgrade the SQLite library, see sclorg/s2i-python-container#333 (comment)
