Server: Update from NC12b4 to NC12RC2 won't start due to unexpected autotest-checkers.sh and other oddities

[nursoda]

Steps to reproduce

1. In NC12b4, enter administration page, NC12RC2 is shown as update
2. Start updater app, start update

Expected behaviour

Update should start (and finish smoothly).

Actual behaviour

A warning appears:

(!) Check for expected files
The following extra files have been found:
autotest-checkers.sh

The update process is interrupted and cannot be continued.

If I delete it (or move it aside), update starts (and finishes) fine.

I also got this in the log during that update (right after update started):

file_put_contents(/.htaccess): failed to open stream: Permission denied at /lib/private/Setup.php#515

Execpt for that, update went fine.

Edit: Opened a separate bug as requested below.

[nursoda]

Each time I login, I get two identical log enties in the same second:

Missing argument 2 for OCServerContainer::getAppContainer(), called in /lib/private/ServerContainer.php on line 124 and defined at /lib/private/ServerContainer.php#80

Edit: Fixed in #4980 already, see below.

Fixed in RC 2

[MorrisJobke]

The only way to fix this is to deleted the autotest-checkers.sh from the folder - then the update runs fine.

For me, deleting that file was a non-issue. Might only be problematic without shell access.
But I'm irritated about "Fixed in RC2" - it should read "Will be fixed in RC3" I guess? OK!
What about the other log entry issues? Non-issues? Shall I ask in the forum? Open separate bugs?

The .htaccess one: Open a separate one. Not sure if it is a dupe.
The ServerContainer one: Dupe of https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/4979 – will be fixed in tomorrows RC3 :)

Patch at https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/4980 :)

T-h-a-n-k-s
Will check if there's a matching bug prior to opening one.

[LukasReschke]

Awesome. And thanks for testing the RCs and Betas. Much appreciated! 🚀

Nope - the file is not there anymore in RC2, but you will notice this only if you have installed RC2, because the checks are run before the code is replaced ;)
