# 6. Concourse FAQ

## 6.1 Can I use the pipeline for some other repos?

Sure! Just change the `app-url` in `credentials.yml`!

## 6.2 Will this work for ANY project out of the box?

Not really. This is an `opinionated pipeline` that’s why we took some opinionated decisions. Check out the documentation to see what those decisions are.

## 6.3 Can I modify this to reuse in my project?

Sure! It’s open-source! The important thing is that the core part of the logic is written in Bash scripts. That way, in the majority of cases, you could change only the bash scripts without changing the whole pipeline. You can check out the scripts here.

Furthermore, if you only want to customize a particular function under `common/src/main/bash`, you can provide your own function under `common/src/main/bash/<some custom identifier>` where `<some custom identifier>` is equal to the value of the `CUSTOM_SCRIPT_IDENTIFIER` environment variable. It defaults to `custom`.

## 6.4 I ran out of resources!! (PCF Dev)

When deploying the app to stage or prod you can get an exception `Insufficient resources`. The way to solve it is to kill some apps from test / stage env. To achieve that just call

    cf target -o pcfdev-org -s pcfdev-test
    cf stop github-webhook
    cf stop github-eureka
    cf stop stubrunner

You can also execute `./tools/cf-helper.sh kill-all-apps` that will remove all demo-related apps deployed to PCF Dev.

## 6.5 The rollback step fails due to missing JAR ?!

You must have pushed some tags and have removed the Artifactory volume that contained them. To fix this, just remove the tags

    git tag -l | xargs -n 1 git push --delete origin

## 6.6 Can I see the output of a job from the terminal?

Yes! Assuming that pipeline name is `github-webhook` and job name is `build-and-upload` you can running

    fly watch --job github-webhook/build-and-upload -t docker

## 6.7 I clicked the job and it’s constantly pending…​

Don’t worry…​ most likely you’ve just forgotten to click the `play` button to unpause the pipeline. Click to the top left, expand the list of pipelines and click the `play` button next to `github-webhook`.

Another problem that might occur is that you need to have the `version` branch. Concourse will wait for the `version` branch to appear in your repo. So in order for the pipeline to start ensure that when doing some git operations you haven’t forgotten to create / copy the `version` branch too.

## 6.8 The route is already in use (CF)

If you play around with Jenkins / Concourse you might end up with the routes occupied

    Using route github-webhook-test.local.pcfdev.io
    Binding github-webhook-test.local.pcfdev.io to github-webhook...
    FAILED
    The route github-webhook-test.local.pcfdev.io is already in use.

Just delete the routes

    yes | cf delete-route local.pcfdev.io -n github-webhook-test
    yes | cf delete-route local.pcfdev.io -n github-eureka-test
    yes | cf delete-route local.pcfdev.io -n stubrunner-test
    yes | cf delete-route local.pcfdev.io -n github-webhook-stage
    yes | cf delete-route local.pcfdev.io -n github-eureka-stage
    yes | cf delete-route local.pcfdev.io -n github-webhook-prod
    yes | cf delete-route local.pcfdev.io -n github-eureka-prod

You can also execute the `./tools/cf-helper.sh delete-routes`

## 6.9 I’m unauthorized to deploy infrastructure jars

Most likely you’ve forgotten to update your local `settings.xml` with the Artifactory’s setup. Check out this section of the docs and update your `settings.xml`.

## 6.10 `version` resource is broken

When I click on it it looks like this:

    resource script '/opt/resource/check []' failed: exit status 128

    stderr:
    Identity added: /tmp/git-resource-private-key (/tmp/git-resource-private-key)
    Cloning into '/tmp/git-resource-repo-cache'...
    warning: Could not find remote branch version to clone.
    fatal: Remote branch version not found in upstream origin

That means that your repo doesn’t have the `version` branch. Please set it up.
