@gitblit gitblit commented Aug 12, 2015

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 182

We've just upgraded our GitBlit v1.1.0 install to v1.2.0, and loading a project page
triggers an NPE unless web.allowForking is set to false.

User authentication is done via LDAP, and the logged-in user is a member of the group
with the "Can fork authorized repositories" setting enabled.

Your problem is unrelated to the web.allowForking setting.
You need to enable repo caching.

git.cacheRepositoryList = true

@gitblit gitblit commented Aug 12, 2015 

To be fair, it is related to but not caused by web.allowForking.

There appear to be a handful of bugs related to tracking fork state and not caching
the repository list.  The reason to cache the repo list is to avoid abusing the disk
to determine information which is static.  The argument against caching is creating/removing
repos from outside Gitblit.  If you plan to use Gitblit as a server then I recommend
using it's caching mechanism.  If you plan to use Gitblit as a viewer then it may make
sense to disable caching but you should also consider disabling it's server features
like forking.

I pushed a change for your NPE and also pushed another change for a related NPE.  Another
drawback of not using the repository cache is not having the fork network feature.
 Fork network (tree/graph) is demonstrated here:

https://demo-gitblit.rhcloud.com/forks/gitblit.git

While you could generate the fork network per-request without the cache it would be
expensive/abusive for the disk to cycle through all your repos to determine the graph.
 Now multiply that by my (known) worst-case user with ~7k repos.  :(

Hi 

This still appears to be an issue in Gitblit Go 1.2.1 (it can be worked around by setting
git.cacheRepositoryList = true).

We get an error page in the GUI when clicking on a repository with the following options
set:
web.allowForking = true
git.cacheRepositoryList = false
