Hi,

I'm trying to redirect the index to a Self-hosted GitLab server that requires authentication.

I followed the instructions at https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#Accessing_Setups_that_Require_Authentication
I added the ?oomph_form=b%27users/sign_in%27#/ parameter.

But when I launch the installer I'm not prompted for credentials and the standard setup is loaded

Any hint, why this is not working?

The best I can do is suggest that you set up an Oomph development environment and then debug launch the installer to investigate what's happening in the ECFURIHandlerImpl:

https://www.eclipse.org/setups/installer/?url=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/configurations/OomphConfiguration.setup&show=true

Of course the issue could be just exactly you specified the redirections, but you've not provided any details about that...

Hi Ed,

I have done some debugging, but I don't come any further.

I have configured the redirection the following way:

-Doomph.redirection.setups=index:/->https://10.71.156.1/cvb_is_mom/mom_tools/eclipse-installer/tree/master/setups/?oomph_form=b'users/sign_in'#/

with this setting, ECFURIHandlerImpl.ConnectionHandler.ConnectionHandler(URI, Map<?, ?>) is initialized with the uri: index:/org.eclipse.setup
so there is no reference to my server

when I remove the oomph_form parameter
-Doomph.redirection.setups=index:/->https://10.71.156.1/cvb_is_mom/mom_tools/eclipse-installer/tree/master/setups/

then ConnectionHandler is initialized with the uri https://10.71.156.1/cvb_is_mom/mom_tools/eclipse-installer/tree/master/setups/org.eclipse.setup

So the complete server and path information is stripped when I add the oomph_form parameter.

What is wrong with my -Doomph.redirection.setups configuration?

Note that the #/ is there in the wiki examples when the reference is used as an href to reference the root object in the resource. But if you're using this URI as a URI redirection of a folder to a folder, you'd not use #/ at the end of the URI because there the URI is being used to denote a resource (or a folder), not an EObject within a resource.

If you have an IDE setup, then you can set a breakpoint in org.eclipse.oomph.setup.internal.core.util.ECFURIHandlerImpl.Main.transform(URI, Map<Object, Object>) to see that it's returning the correct "stripped" URI and the correct URI for the form login.

Hi Ed,

it makes no difference when I remove the #/

running with
-Doomph.redirection.setups=index:/->https://10.71.156.1/cvb_is_mom/mom_tools/eclipse-installer/tree/master/setups/?oomph_form=b'users/sign_in'

In ECFURIHandlerImpl.Main.transform(URI, Map<Object, Object>)
uri is
index:/org.eclipse.setup

Christian: your approach probably doesn't work, because the URL you are providing isn't actually serving the repositories content but rather gitlabs UI (so html). The actual repository content can be found at <repositoryurl>/-/raw/<branchname>/pathtofile (you can get the actual path by navigating to the respective file in the browser and hit the "raw" button on top of the files overview).

With GitLab and Oomph the setup is even a bit more complicated, as GitLab seemingly doesn't serve raw directories, only files. What I've deduced up until now is, that Oomph will try to query the provided directory URL and try to search for the files (like org.eclipse.setup) within the stuff returned. If you provide a path to the directory, all oomph will receive is a 404 from GitLab.

I've had success with the following approach in the installers ini file (all referenced files are actually in the root of the repository):

-Doomph.redirection.setups=index:/org.eclipse.setup->protocol://my.gitlab.tld/path/to/project/-/raw/master/org.eclipse.setup?oomph_form=b'users/sign_in'#/
-Doomph.redirection.setups2=index:/my.products.setup->protocol://my.gitlab.tld/path/to/project/-/raw/master/my.products.setup?oomph_form=b'users/sign_in'#/
-Doomph.redirection.setups3=index:/my.projects.setup->protocol://my.gitlab.tld/path/to/project/-/raw/master/my.projects.setup?oomph_form=b'users/sign_in'#/

While that works it has of course the big downside that you would have to do that for every file in the repository. It would be easier if Oomph would just use the provided redirection path as a prefix to the filenames or provide other ways to work with repositories on that level (the last part is a bit out of scope though).

(PS: the URLs further up are a bit scrambled as the forum identified them as links and didn't let me post them, being a new forum member...)

I wonder if the following wouldn't also work:

-Doomph.redirection.setups=index:/org.eclipse.setup->protocol://my.gitlab.tld/path/to/project/-/raw/master/org.eclipse.setup?oomph_form=b'users/sign_in'#/
-Doomph.redirection.setups2=index:/->protocol://my.gitlab.tld/path/to/project/-/raw/master/

The redirections do support folder mappings. In general the longest mapping (most specific) is applied first and the index is accessed first, so that should do the login to acquire the session cookie. For all the other resources, the folder mapping (prefix mapping), would redirect any other index:/ URIs to the corresponding resource under protocol://my.gitlab.tld/path/to/project/-/raw/master/. So in principle that should work because generally references are either relative or absolute via the index:/org.eclipse.setup, so the index should resolved first.

I still wonder that a URI with a fragment actually works....

I just ran in to this problem and this post helped me with a locally hosted Bitbucket.

What I ended up with is:

-Doomph.redirection.myid=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/plain/setups/->http://bitbucket/projects/PROJ/repos/gitrepo/raw/my/setups/oomph/
-Doomph.redirection.myid1=index:/org.eclipse.setup->http://bitbucket/projects/PROJ/repos/gitrepo/raw/my/setups/oomph/org.eclipse.setup?oomph_form=b'login'#/

This appears to have set the index correctly, substituting git.eclipse.org with my own location and downloaded all the relatively pathed setup files.
