Description

List of steps to reproduce (step by step, including full links if applicable):

What happens?:
The error "No Phabricator accounts found for tool maintainers." is shown, and the repository is not created

What should have happened instead?:
A repository was created

Software version (if not a Wikimedia wiki), browser information, screenshots, other information, etc:

On some further diagnosis, it appears the issue could have something to do with my account links.

  • Clicking "Refresh phabricator data" gives the error No related Phabricator accounts found.
  • Clicking "Refresh OAuth credentials" gives the error Wikimedia account "TheresNoTime" is already attached to another LDAP account.

I'm not aware of it being attached to any other accounts.

Poking at Striker's admin console reveals that it thinks you have two different developer accounts, Samtar and TheresNoTime. Samtar is linked to SUL account named "There'sNoTime" and this Phabricator account, and TheresNoTime is linked to SUL account "TheresNoTime" but not linked to any phabricator accounts. Both developer accounts have the same email (which is bound to cause trouble with some services, even if only one is used). Not exactly sure why it doesn't let you update the Phabricator account details on Samtar, as the Phabricator account you used to create this task seems to be linked correctly to that developer account.

Ah, I think I found why this is happening! Your Phabricator account isn't linked to any of the accounts the "Samtar" developer account is linked to on Striker, instead it's linked to the "TheresNoTime" SUL account (which is turn linked to the TheresNoTime developer account on toolsadmin) and not linked to any developer accounts. For some reason Striker/toolsadmin wants at least one of those links to match.

Issue resolved - I added my LDAP account (Samtar) to phab, and retried creating the repository. This worked. Nice work, and thank you for the help!

Striker needs to find one or more Phabricator users to grant control of the Diffusion repository to. The lookup of Phabricator accounts is done using two conduit api calls. The first call is to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/conduit/method/user.ldapquery/ to look for Phabricator accounts connected to Developer accounts that are also maintainers of the tool that the repo will belong to. The second call is to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/conduit/method/user.mediawikiquery/ to look for Phabricator accounts connected to SUL accounts that are connected to Developer accounts that are also maintainers of the tool that the repo will belong to. The union of all Phabricator accounts found via these two lookups are granted "owner" level rights on the newly created Diffusion repository. When no accounts are found, then the whole process aborts so that we don't create orphan repos.
