Application Already Exists Error (Gerrit VCS)⚓︎

Problem⚓︎

User receives an error message when creating applications using Gerrit as a Git Server provider.

Cause⚓︎

Gerrit operator might get stuck during its work.

Solution⚓︎

Restarting the Gerrit-related pods can be a solution to the problem:

1. Check the GerritProject, CodebaseImageStream, CodebaseBranch, and Codebase custom resources related to the previously created application:

   kubectl get CodebaseBranch -n edp
   kubectl get CodebaseImageStream -n edp
   kubectl get Codebase -n edp
   kubectl get GerritProject -n edp
   

2. Delete the custom resources that relate to the problem application using the kubectl delete command.

3. Check the pods in your project namespace:

   kubectl get pods -n edp
   

4. Delete the gerrit-operator and gerrit pods so the replica set will be able to spin up new pods:

   kubectl get pods -n edp
   

5. Create the application again. Now it is supposed to create application successfully.
