Upgrade from 16.1 to 16.2 or 16.3 failing

Help / Discuss
1

Running 16.1 on Debian 12 without issues. But the upgrade to 16.2 or now 16.3 fails. Reverting back to 16.1 works fine. All the extensions are up-to-date. Not sure what to do next. There are errors (below) but I’m not sure what to make of them.
Packages:
ii xwiki-common 16.1.0
ii xwiki-mariadb-common 16.1.0
ii xwiki-xjetty-common 16.1.0
ii xwiki-xjetty-mariadb 16.1.0

Extract from logs after the upgrade:

Any ideas?
Thanks!

This seems to be the blocker here.

To me it feels like you have some customization in /etc/xwiki/web.xml which caused a bad merge during the apt upgrade. In standard the current version is supposed to look like xwiki-platform/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-web/xwiki-platform-web-war/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml at master · xwiki/xwiki-platform · GitHub.

Thank you Mr. Mortagne, perhaps unwittingly you solved my issue: REST calls return 404 after upgrade to 16.2 with short URL's

So from me to you, by way of showing my utmost gratitude, a well deserved delicacy :slight_smile:

Thank you tmortagne, that was it. I haven’t done any customizations, so I’m not sure how the it got to be RestletServlet instead of RESTServlet but changing those to match the linked web.xml fixed it.

I had the same troubles as you did, so I revived a snapshot and did the upgrade again and paid close attention to how I got into the trouble.

It appears that it is not possible to do a merge of the files during upgrade because of a conflict issue:
merge-conflict

I tried to opt with the start a new shell option, but this failed:
new-shell-nono

In the end I just was forced to either keep my original files or replace it all with the upgraded version. I chose for “out with the old, in with the new.”

I am currently running XWiki on a Debian VPS via Proxmox. The console window is of the QEMU persuasion.

And you did customize the web.xml file, right ?

ucf (what is in charge of the merge) conflict resolution features are indeed quite limited to say the least… In such case I generally note down customization I made using the diff, choose the standard version and apply again the customizations (at least those which are still needed) manually after the upgrade.

I did customize the web.xml file but only for short URLs (so the change from “/bin/*” to “/*” at the height of the RESTful API mapping part). There were more differences between the two versions but I guess you know about that because of the change to Jersey.

What you said is exactly what I did but I only had to customize the short URL part, of which I know now by heart :wink:
