I'm trying to deploy an app on engine yard. I'm using rails 2.3.5 and ruby 1.8.7

When I try to deploy it, 

~> Deploying revision 481f05e emergency commit
:: running git checkout -q '481f05e42f3e13b5eda7e598a1b797b031c9ca5e'
:: running git submodule sync
Synchronizing submodule url for ''
:: running git submodule update --init

No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'school'
No submodule mapping found in .gitmodules for path 'school'
*** [Error] Git could not checkout (481f05e42f3e13b5eda7e598a1b797b031c9ca5e) ***

Is the git submodule sync causing the problem?

I do not have any submodules in my repository.

I do not have any submodules in my repository.

That means you shouldn't see any .gitmodules file in your repo.
If there is, that means that you have somehow a submodule declared (in which case you might want to remove it).

If there isn't any .gitmodules file, then something within the school path makes the deployment script believe it is a submodules, and tries to access the (non-existent) .gitmodules file of the parent repo.
May be school has a .git directory in it?

  • There isn't any `.gitbmodules` file in my repo. – VivekVarade123 Jul 21 '11 at 09:08
  • @CodeMaster123: so it is the reverse issue: something within the '`school`' path makes Git believe it is a submodules, and it looks for a reference in the (non-existent) `.gitmodules` file. (Btw, it is `.gitmodules`, not `.gitbmodules`: that was a typo) – VonC Jul 21 '11 at 09:14
  • But there is not `.gitmodules` in my repo. Might it be causing the problem? – VivekVarade123 Jul 22 '11 at 05:48
  • @CodeMaster: well if school is actually a git repo (and has a `.git` inside it), then yes, it could be an issue. – VonC Jul 22 '11 at 05:55
  • I created a new repo for a different app and there was this .gitmodules file so it means that my git is working properly. Is there a command which will generate this file or should I create it manually? – VivekVarade123 Jul 22 '11 at 08:01
  • @CodeMaster: this should be the command `git submodule` http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-submodule.html – VonC Jul 22 '11 at 08:41

I was experiencing this as well, but had a different solution. Simply, gemfile was referencing a version on github, but I had failed to push the latest commits online. So once I made sure all my subrepos were up to date, it was able to checkout.
