Unable to use cvs payload adapter in 6.0.2 SP1

OpenDeploy 6.0.2 SP1
TeamSite 6.1 Linux
RedHat EL 3.0

I am getting the following error while attempting to run a very simple deployment pulling data out of a cvs repository:

Locating OpenDeploy service.

My deployment just makes a reference to the CVS config xml file, which contains this:

<cvs
schemaVersion="1.0"
xmlns="http://interwoven.com/od/adapter/cvs"
name="CVSCheckoutExample"
execPath="/usr/bin">
<cvsCheckout
workingDir="/tmp/cvs">
<globalOption>
<cvsRepository
accessMethod="pserver"
userName="xo3058"
password="********"
cvsServer="myhost.mydomain.com"
repositoryPath="/project/cvshome/dpdotcom"/>
</globalOption>
<cvsModule modulePath="ContentCenter"/>
</cvsCheckout>
</cvs>

I am able to take these same settings and browse the cvs repository inside of Eclipse, so I know the paths, username, password, etc. are correct.

Any idea what would cause this weird setting/message?

Well, after a lot of **** around some new things showed up in the logfile which helped identify the problem. Prior to running a cvs payload deployment, you need to physically login to your cvs server, using cvs login. This will record your authentication information in your local .cvspass file. Then, that still didn't fix things, as I was attempting to run the deployment as a non-root user (OpenDeploy is running as root).

I noticed this is the log file
2005-10-23 16:06:36,129 INFO Setting CVS_PASSFILE environment variable to '/root/.cvspass'

which basically meant that it was ignoring my local user's .cvspass file, and since I didn't login under the root account, the login information was not available. I then copied the line from my local user's .cvspass file into root's.

This makes me wonder a few things:
- Why did I have to specify login information in the CVSConfig.xml file used by the adapter if it really wasn't going to login with that information
- Why was the current user running the deployment .cvspass file not used for this authentication information.

Let me know if I am missing something that could make this easier.

Thanks,

Forwarding a response from OpenDeploy Engineering:

Here is some explanation about CVS unix login:

1. User doesn't need to physically login to CVS server prior to running a cvs payload deployment. User just needs to specify username, password and optional passfile in CVS adapter config file to run payload adapter.

2. CVS adapter will record user's authentication information into passfile specified in adapter config file. If passfile is not specified, the default passfile (~/.cvspass) will be used depending on current logged in user account.

3. CVS adapter will set CVS_PASSFILE environment variable to the passfile.

From user's information posted on DevNet, looks to me that user doesn't specify passfile in his adapter config file, so CVS adapter automatically set ~/.cvspass as passfile. In his case, since OpenDeploy is running as root, that's why /root/.cvspass file is in use.

I am not sure that is correct. Below is what appears in my /root/.cvspass file:

It looks like some sort of Java toString method being called on one of your objects. If I remove the first line (created by me manually executing a cvs login) the deployment fails with a ton of these messages, for every entry in the file:

Error : ***ERROR - cvs checkout: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname (not `com.interwoven.od.adapter.payload.scm.cvs.TCvsRepository@2546e55')
cvs checkout: when using local access method.
cvs checkout: warning: skipping invalid entry in password file at line 1
cvs checkout: CVSROOT must be an absolute pathname (not `com.interwoven.od.adapter.payload.scm.cvs.TCvsRepository@52bae54')
cvs checkout: when using local access method.

So, what the engineer said makes sense, but it doesn't appear like it is working that way.

Do you want me to open a support case on this?

Yes, working with Tech Support will enable folks at Interwoven to focus on your specific issue.

I filed a support case and this behavior has been logged as Bug #63142. It is scheduled to be fixed in OD 6.1, not sure about a patch to OD 6.0.2.
