GitLab Rails Console Cheat Sheet (FREE SELF)
This is the GitLab Support Team's collection of information regarding the GitLab Rails console, for use while troubleshooting. It is listed here for transparency, and it may be useful for users with experience with these tools. If you are currently having an issue with GitLab, it is highly recommended that you first check our guide on navigating our Rails console, and your support options, before attempting to use this information.
WARNING: Some of these scripts could be damaging if not run correctly, or under the right conditions. We highly recommend running them under the guidance of a Support Engineer, or running them in a test environment with a backup of the instance ready to be restored, just in case.
WARNING: As GitLab changes, changes to the code are inevitable, and so some scripts may not work as they once used to. These are not kept up-to-date as these scripts/commands were added as they were found/needed. As mentioned above, we recommend running these scripts under the supervision of a Support Engineer, who can also verify that they continue to work as they should and, if needed, update the script for the latest version of GitLab.
Find specific methods for an object
Array.methods.select { |m| m.to_s.include? "sing" }
Array.methods.grep(/sing/)
Find method source
instance_of_object.method(:foo).source_location
# Example for when we would call project.private?
project.method(:private?).source_location
Attributes
View available attributes, formatted using pretty print (pp
).
For example, determine what attributes contain users' names and email addresses:
u = User.find_by_username('someuser')
pp u.attributes
Partial output:
{"id"=>1234,
"email"=>"someuser@example.com",
"sign_in_count"=>99,
"name"=>"S User",
"username"=>"someuser",
"first_name"=>nil,
"last_name"=>nil,
"bot_type"=>nil}
Then make use of the attributes, testing SMTP, for example:
e = u.email
n = u.name
Notify.test_email(e, "Test email for #{n}", 'Test email').deliver_now
#
Notify.test_email(u.email, "Test email for #{u.name}", 'Test email').deliver_now
Limiting output
Adding a semicolon(;
) and a follow-up statement at the end of a statement prevents the default implicit return output. This is useful if you are already explicitly printing details and potentially have a lot of return output:
puts ActiveRecord::Base.descendants; :ok
Project.select(&:pages_deployed?).each {|p| puts p.pages_url }; true
Get or store the result of last operation
Underscore(_
) represents the implicit return of the previous statement. You can use this to quickly assign a variable from the output of the previous command:
Project.last
# => #<Project id:2537 root/discard>>
project = _
# => #<Project id:2537 root/discard>>
project.id
# => 2537
Open object in irb
Sometimes it is easier to navigate through a method if you are within the context of the object. You can shim into the namespace of Object
to let you open irb
within the context of any object:
Object.define_method(:irb) { binding.irb }
project = Project.last
# => #<Project id:2537 root/discard>>
project.irb
# Notice new context
irb(#<Project>)> web_url
# => "https://gitlab-example/root/discard"
Query the database using an ActiveRecord Model
m = Model.where('attribute like ?', 'ex%')
# for example to query the projects
projects = Project.where('path like ?', 'Oumua%')
View all keys in cache
Rails.cache.instance_variable_get(:@data).keys
Profile a page
url = '<url/of/the/page>'
# Before 11.6.0
logger = Logger.new($stdout)
admin_token = User.find_by_username('<admin-username>').personal_access_tokens.first.token
app.get("#{url}/?private_token=#{admin_token}")
# From 11.6.0
admin = User.find_by_username('<admin-username>')
Gitlab::Profiler.with_user(admin) { app.get(url) }
Using the GitLab profiler inside console (used as of 10.5)
logger = Logger.new($stdout)
admin = User.find_by_username('<admin-username>')
Gitlab::Profiler.profile('<url/of/the/page>', logger: logger, user: admin)
Time an operation
# A single operation
Benchmark.measure { <operation> }
# A breakdown of multiple operations
Benchmark.bm do |x|
x.report(:label1) { <operation_1> }
x.report(:label2) { <operation_2> }
end

Projects
Clear a project's cache
ProjectCacheWorker.perform_async(project.id)
Expire the .exists? cache
project.repository.expire_exists_cache
Make all projects private
Project.update_all(visibility_level: 0)
Find projects that are pending deletion
#
# This section lists all the projects which are pending deletion
#
projects = Project.where(pending_delete: true)
projects.each do |p|
puts "Project ID: #{p.id}"
puts "Project name: #{p.name}"
puts "Repository path: #{p.repository.full_path}"
end
#
# Assign a user (the root user does)
#
user = User.find_by_username('root')
#
# For each project listed repeat these two commands
#
# Find the project, update the xxx-changeme values from above
project = Project.find_by_full_path('group-changeme/project-changeme')
# Immediately delete the project
::Projects::DestroyService.new(project, user, {}).execute
Destroy a project
project = Project.find_by_full_path('<project_path>')
user = User.find_by_username('<username>')
ProjectDestroyWorker.perform_async(project.id, user.id, {})
# or ProjectDestroyWorker.new.perform(project.id, user.id, {})
# or Projects::DestroyService.new(project, user).execute
If this fails, display why it doesn't work with:
project = Project.find_by_full_path('<project_path>')
project.delete_error
Remove fork relationship manually
p = Project.find_by_full_path('<project_path>')
u = User.find_by_username('<username>')
::Projects::UnlinkForkService.new(p, u).execute
Make a project read-only (can only be done in the console)
# Make a project read-only
project.repository_read_only = true; project.save
# OR
project.update!(repository_read_only: true)
Transfer project from one namespace to another
p = Project.find_by_full_path('<project_path>')
# To set the owner of the project
current_user= p.creator
# Namespace where you want this to be moved.
namespace = Namespace.find_by_full_path("<new_namespace>")
::Projects::TransferService.new(p, current_user).execute(namespace)
For Removing webhooks that is getting timeout due to large webhook logs
# ID is the webhook_id
hook=WebHook.find(ID)
WebHooks::DestroyService.new(current_user).execute(hook)
#In case the service gets timeout consider removing webhook_logs
hook.web_hook_logs.limit(BATCH_SIZE).delete_all
Bulk update service integration password for all projects
For example, change the Jira user's password for all projects that have the Jira integration active:
p = Project.find_by_sql("SELECT p.id FROM projects p LEFT JOIN services s ON p.id = s.project_id WHERE s.type = 'JiraService' AND s.active = true")
p.each do |project|
project.jira_integration.update_attribute(:password, '<your-new-password>')
end
Bulk update push rules for all projects
For example, enable Check whether the commit author is a GitLab user and Do not allow users to remove Git tags with git push
checkboxes, and create a filter for allowing commits from a specific e-mail domain only:
Project.find_each do |p|
pr = p.push_rule || PushRule.new(project: p)
# Check whether the commit author is a GitLab user
pr.member_check = true
# Do not allow users to remove Git tags with `git push`
pr.deny_delete_tag = true
# Commit author's email
pr.author_email_regex = '@domain\.com$'
pr.save!
end
Bulk update to change all the Jira integrations to Jira instance-level values
To change all Jira project to use the instance-level integration settings:
-
In a Rails console:
jira_integration_instance_id = Integrations::Jira.find_by(instance: true).id Integrations::Jira.where(active: true, instance: false, template: false, inherit_from_id: nil).find_each do |integration| integration.update_attribute(:inherit_from_id, jira_integration_instance_id) end
-
Modify and save again the instance-level integration from the UI to propagate the changes to all the group-level and project-level integrations.
Bulk update to disable the Slack Notification service
To disable notifications for all projects that have Slack service enabled, do:
# Grab all projects that have the Slack notifications enabled
p = Project.find_by_sql("SELECT p.id FROM projects p LEFT JOIN services s ON p.id = s.project_id WHERE s.type = 'SlackService' AND s.active = true")
# Disable the service on each of the projects that were found.
p.each do |project|
project.slack_service.update_attribute(:active, false)
end
Incorrect repository statistics shown in the GUI
After reducing a repository size with third-party tools the displayed size may still show old sizes or commit numbers. To force an update, do:
p = Project.find_by_full_path('<namespace>/<project>')
pp p.statistics
p.statistics.refresh!
pp p.statistics
# compare with earlier values
# check the total artifact storage space separately
builds_with_artifacts = p.builds.with_downloadable_artifacts.all
artifact_storage = 0
builds_with_artifacts.find_each do |build|
artifact_storage += build.artifacts_size
end
puts "#{artifact_storage} bytes"
Identify deploy keys associated with blocked and non-member users
When the user who created a deploy key is blocked or removed from the project, the key can no longer be used to push to protected branches in a private project (see issue #329742). The following script identifies unusable deploy keys:
ghost_user_id = User.ghost.id
DeployKeysProject.with_write_access.find_each do |deploy_key_mapping|
project = deploy_key_mapping.project
deploy_key = deploy_key_mapping.deploy_key
user = deploy_key.user
access_checker = Gitlab::DeployKeyAccess.new(deploy_key, container: project)
# can_push_for_ref? tests if deploy_key can push to default branch, which is likely to be protected
can_push = access_checker.can_do_action?(:push_code)
can_push_to_default = access_checker.can_push_for_ref?(project.repository.root_ref)
next if access_checker.allowed? && can_push && can_push_to_default
if user.nil? || user.id == ghost_user_id
username = 'none'
state = '-'
else
username = user.username
user_state = user.state
end
puts "Deploy key: #{deploy_key.id}, Project: #{project.full_path}, Can push?: " + (can_push ? 'YES' : 'NO') +
", Can push to default branch #{project.repository.root_ref}?: " + (can_push_to_default ? 'YES' : 'NO') +
", User: #{username}, User state: #{user_state}"
end
Find projects using an SQL query
Find and store an array of projects based on an SQL query:
# Finds projects that end with '%ject'
projects = Project.find_by_sql("SELECT * FROM projects WHERE name LIKE '%ject'")
=> [#<Project id:12 root/my-first-project>>, #<Project id:13 root/my-second-project>>]
Wikis
Recreate
WARNING: This is a destructive operation, the Wiki becomes empty.
A Projects Wiki can be recreated by this command:
p = Project.find_by_full_path('<username-or-group>/<project-name>') ### enter your projects path
GitlabShellWorker.perform_in(0, :remove_repository, p.repository_storage, p.wiki.disk_path) ### deletes the wiki project from the filesystem
p.create_wiki ### creates the wiki project on the filesystem
Issue boards
In case of issue boards not loading properly and it's getting time out. We need to call the Issue Rebalancing service to fix this
p = Project.find_by_full_path('<username-or-group>/<project-name>')
Issues::RelativePositionRebalancingService.new(p.root_namespace.all_projects).execute
Imports and exports
Import a project
# Find the project and get the error
p = Project.find_by_full_path('<username-or-group>/<project-name>')
p.import_error
# To finish the import on GitLab running version before 11.6
p.import_finish
# To finish the import on GitLab running version 11.6 or after
p.import_state.mark_as_failed("Failed manually through console.")
Rename imported repository
In a specific situation, an imported repository needed to be renamed. The Support Team was informed of a backup restore that failed on a single repository, which created the project with an empty repository. The project was successfully restored to a development instance, then exported, and imported into a new project under a different name.
The Support Team was able to transfer the incorrectly named imported project into the correctly named empty project using the steps below.
Move the new repository to the empty repository:
mv /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/<group>/<new-project> /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/<group>/<empty-project>
Make sure the permissions are correct:
chown -R git:git <path-to-directory>.git
Clear the cache:
sudo gitlab-rake cache:clear
Export a project
It's typically recommended to export a project through the web interface or through the API. In situations where this is not working as expected, it may be preferable to export a project directly via the Rails console:
user = User.find_by_username('<username>')
# Sufficient permissions needed
# Read https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/permissions.html#project-members-permissions
project = Project.find_by_full_path('<username-or-group>/<project-name')
Projects::ImportExport::ExportService.new(project, user).execute
If this all runs successfully, you see an output like the following before being returned to the Rails console prompt:
=> nil
The exported project is located within a .tar.gz
file in /var/opt/gitlab/gitlab-rails/uploads/-/system/import_export_upload/export_file/
.
If this fails, enable verbose logging, repeat the above procedure after, and report the output to GitLab Support.
Repository
Search sequence of pushes to a repository
If it seems that a commit has gone "missing", search the sequence of pushes to a repository.
This StackOverflow article
describes how you can end up in this state without a force push. Another cause can be a misconfigured server hook that changes a HEAD ref via a git reset
operation.
If you look at the output from the sample code below for the target branch, you
see a discontinuity in the from/to commits as you step through the output. The commit_from
of each new push should equal the commit_to
of the previous push. A break in that sequence indicates one or more commits have been "lost" from the repository history.
The following example checks the last 100 pushes and prints the commit_from
and commit_to
entries:
p = Project.find_by_full_path('u/p')
p.events.pushed_action.last(100).each do |e|
printf "%-20.20s %8s...%8s (%s)
", e.push_event_payload[:ref], e.push_event_payload[:commit_from], e.push_event_payload[:commit_to], e.author.try(:username)
end
Example output showing break in sequence at line 4:
master f21b07713251e04575908149bdc8ac1f105aabc3...6bc56c1f46244792222f6c85b11606933af171de (root)

This content has been converted to a Rake task, see verify database values can be decrypted using the current secrets.
Transfer mirror users and tokens to a single service account
Use case: If you have multiple users using their own GitHub credentials to set up repository mirroring, mirroring breaks when people leave the company. Use this script to migrate disparate mirroring users and tokens into a single service account:
svc_user = User.find_by(username: 'ourServiceUser')
token = 'githubAccessToken'
Project.where(mirror: true).each do |project|
import_url = project.import_url
# The url we want is https://token@project/path.git
repo_url = if import_url.include?('@')
# Case 1: The url is something like https://23423432@project/path.git
import_url.split('@').last
elsif import_url.include?('//')
# Case 2: The url is something like https://project/path.git
import_url.split('//').last
end
next unless repo_url
final_url = "https://#{token}@#{repo_url}"
project.mirror_user = svc_user
project.import_url = final_url
project.username_only_import_url = final_url
project.save
end
Users

u.save!
Skip reconfirmation
user = User.find_by_username('<username>')
user.skip_reconfirmation!
Disable 2fa for single user

license.save
License.current # check to make sure it applied
This is needed for example in a known edge-case with expired license and multiple LDAP servers.
Remove licenses
To clean up the License History table:
TYPE = :trial?
# or :expired?
License.select(&TYPE).each(&:destroy!)
# or even License.all.each(&:destroy!)
Registry
Registry Disk Space Usage by Project
As a GitLab administrator, you may need to reduce disk space consumption. A common culprit is Docker Registry images that are no longer in use. To find the storage broken down by each project, run the following in the GitLab Rails console:
projects_and_size = [["project_id", "creator_id", "registry_size_bytes", "project path"]]
# You need to specify the projects that you want to look through. You can get these in any manner.
projects = Project.last(100)
projects.each do |p|
project_total_size = 0
container_repositories = p.container_repositories
container_repositories.each do |c|
c.tags.each do |t|
project_total_size = project_total_size + t.total_size unless t.total_size.nil?
end
end
if project_total_size > 0
projects_and_size << [p.project_id, p.creator.id, project_total_size, p.full_path]
end
end
# projects_and_size is filled out now
# maybe print it as comma separated output?
projects_and_size.each do |ps|
puts "%s,%s,%s,%s" % ps
end

Sidekiq
This content has been moved to the Troubleshooting Sidekiq docs.
Redis
Connect to Redis (omnibus)
/opt/gitlab/embedded/bin/redis-cli -s /var/opt/gitlab/redis/redis.socket
LFS
Get information about LFS objects and associated project
o = LfsObject.find_by(oid: "<oid>")
p = Project.find(LfsObjectsProject.find_by_lfs_object_id(o.id).project_id)
You can then delete these records from the database with:
LfsObjectsProject.find_by_lfs_object_id(o.id).destroy
o.destroy
You would also want to combine this with deleting the LFS file in the LFS storage area on disk. It remains to be seen exactly how or whether the deletion is useful, however.
Decryption Problems
Bad Decrypt Script (for encrypted variables)
This content has been converted to a Rake task, see verify database values can be decrypted using the current secrets.
As an example of repairing, if ProjectImportData Bad count:
is detected and the decision is made to delete the
encrypted credentials to allow manual reentry:
# Find the ids of the corrupt ProjectImportData objects
total = 0
bad = []
ProjectImportData.find_each do |data|
begin
total += 1
data.credentials
rescue => e
bad << data.id
end
end
puts "Bad count: #{bad.count} / #{total}"
# See the bad ProjectImportData ids
bad
# Remove the corrupted credentials
import_data = ProjectImportData.where(id: bad)
import_data.each do |data|
data.update_columns({ encrypted_credentials: nil, encrypted_credentials_iv: nil, encrypted_credentials_salt: nil})
end
If User OTP Secret Bad count:
is detected. For each user listed disable/enable
two-factor authentication.
The following script searches in some of the tables for encrypted tokens that are causing decryption errors, and update or reset as needed:
wget -O /tmp/encrypted-tokens.rb https://gitlab.com/snippets/1876342/raw
gitlab-rails runner /tmp/encrypted-tokens.rb

Sync individual repository now
project = Project.find_by_full_path('<group/project>')
Geo::RepositorySyncService.new(project).execute
Blob types newer than uploads/artifacts/LFS
Packages::PackageFile
Terraform::StateVersion
MergeRequestDiff
Packages::PackageFile
is used in the following examples, but things generally work the same for the other Blob types.
The Replicator
The main kinds of classes are Registry, Model, and Replicator. If you have an instance of one of these classes, you can get the others. The Registry and Model mostly manage PostgreSQL DB state. The Replicator knows how to replicate/verify (or it can call a service to do it):
model_record = Packages::PackageFile.last
model_record.replicator.registry.replicator.model_record # just showing that these methods exist
Replicate a package file, synchronously, given an ID
model_record = Packages::PackageFile.find(id)
model_record.replicator.send(:download)
Replicate a package file, synchronously, given a registry ID
registry = Geo::PackageFileRegistry.find(registry_id)
registry.replicator.send(:download)
Verify package files on the secondary manually
This iterates over all package files on the secondary, looking at the
verification_checksum
stored in the database (which came from the primary)
and then calculate this value on the secondary to check if they match. This
does not change anything in the UI:
# Run on secondary
status = {}
Packages::PackageFile.find_each do |package_file|
primary_checksum = package_file.verification_checksum
secondary_checksum = Packages::PackageFile.hexdigest(package_file.file.path)
verification_status = (primary_checksum == secondary_checksum)
status[verification_status.to_s] ||= []
status[verification_status.to_s] << package_file.id
end
# Count how many of each value we get
status.keys.each {|key| puts "#{key} count: #{status[key].count}"}
# See the output in its entirety
status
Repository types newer than project/wiki repositories
SnippetRepository
GroupWikiRepository
SnippetRepository
is used in the examples below, but things generally work the same for the other Repository types.

model_record = SnippetRepository.find(id)
model_record.replicator.send(:sync_repository)
Replicate a snippet repository, synchronously, given a registry ID
registry = Geo::SnippetRepositoryRegistry.find(registry_id)
registry.replicator.send(:sync_repository)

Kubernetes integration
Find cluster:
cluster = Clusters::Cluster.find(1)
cluster = Clusters::Cluster.find_by(name: 'cluster_name')
Delete cluster without associated resources:
# Find users with the administrator access

cluster = Clusters::Cluster.find(1)
# Delete the cluster
Clusters::DestroyService.new(user).execute(cluster)
Elasticsearch
Configuration attributes
Open the rails console (gitlab rails c
) and run the following command to see all the available attributes:
ApplicationSetting.last.attributes
Among other attributes, the output contains all the settings available in the Elasticsearch Integration page, such as elasticsearch_indexing
, elasticsearch_url
, elasticsearch_replicas
, and elasticsearch_pause_indexing
.
Setting attributes
You can then set anyone of Elasticsearch integration settings by issuing a command similar to:
ApplicationSetting.last.update(elasticsearch_url: '<your ES URL and port>')
#or
ApplicationSetting.last.update(elasticsearch_indexing: false)
Getting attributes
You can then check if the settings have been set in the Elasticsearch Integration page or in the rails console by issuing:
Gitlab::CurrentSettings.elasticsearch_url
#or
Gitlab::CurrentSettings.elasticsearch_indexing
Changing the Elasticsearch password
es_url = Gitlab::CurrentSettings.current_application_settings
# Confirm the current ElasticSearch URL
es_url.elasticsearch_url
# Set the ElasticSearch URL
es_url.elasticsearch_url = "http://<username>:<password>@your.es.host:<port>"
# Save the change
es_url.save!
