Redmine

A friend of mine ran into this too, the request is the following:

1. buildin groups (#17976) are not being not created (migration runs without errors or warnings) <<--- This is how I initially noticed there were troubles
2. many 'can't mass-assign protected attribute'-errors during initial db migration ánd first visit using WEBrick (initial creation of the Anonymous user)
3. two ruby warnings during the loading of the initial default dataset
   • ../activerecord-4.2.1/lib/active_record/associations.rb:1694: warning: already initialized constant CustomField::HABTM_Roles
   • ../activerecord-4.2.1/lib/active_record/associations.rb:1694: warning: previous definition of HABTM_Roles was here
4. several tests seem to fail and throw errors (this is where I am now, initial tests showed the previous problems but without failures/errors during a test-suite run)
   • Trunk test run output...Trunk test run output...

With the above in mind I'll start some more research into this, primarily focusing on comparison of initial DB deployments between source:/branches/2.6-stable and source:/trunk, with clean installs of the whole stack and including the Rails 4.2.2/3.2.22 updates from yesterday. I'll provide more info (logs, cli-output, db-dumps, etc.) when I have completed these tests.

Mischa.

This specific issue seems to be related to the redmine_contacts plugin, as without everything seems to work as expected.

It seems the developers of the plugin are aware of a problem, for example their CRM Plugin has been updated and fixes a bug on user creation

I think this can be closed and should be escalated to the plugin authors should it not get fixed in the coming days.
