Migration from GH fails - Duplicate entry #1822

Comment

Trying to migrate a public repo from GitHub fails in mostly with duplicate entries failure like:

Error 1062 (23000): Duplicate entry '383413-v1.1.1' for key 'UQE_release_n'

Steps to reproduce:

• start migration from GitHub with an access token
• select all but wiki optiion to migrate

Tried workarounds:

• Migrating this particular repo to a vanilla forgejo instance -> works.
• Migrating this repo then to codeberg fails with the same error message like in the direct migration attempt from GitHub.

Hi, did you use the 'Retry migration' functionality?

Yes, of course. Always end up in this error message.
As said, migration to a vanilla forgejo instance works for this particular repo but also for others I tried before which also end in a similar error message when trying to migrate to codeberg.

Yes so please don't use this button, remove the repository and start the migration flow again. The 'retry migration' button doesn't try to delete any data that was left by the previous migration; resulting in such errors.

Thank you. This worked this time.

IMHO than the documentation or labeling is missleading. If the migration fails and a retry button appears, the obvious next step is pushing this.

Could you please point me to the feature in forgejo's codebase, then I would propose a PR if you agree?

@moderation this is spam with AI hallucinations. Please ban the user.

It would be always better to have some more reference, if only your "this" is spam comments remains when things got cleaned up already by a moderator, it is hard for other to understand what "this" was or whether is is gone ;)
