Using Revisr to sync database between dev and staging, error on pull

    Hello,
    I’m a big fan of this plugin and I’m trying to integrate it more closely into my development process.

    One problem I’m having is that I can’t seem to push a database backup from my development environment and pull (and import) it on my staging environment.

    I think this is because the staging copy of Revisr makes a commit of its own database backup before pulling changes, and this causes a conflict.

    Pulling manually via command line produces these errors which seem to back up this thought:

    Auto-merging wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups/revisr_wp_revisr.sql
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups/revisr_wp_revisr.sql
Auto-merging wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups/revisr_wp_posts.sql
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups/revisr_wp_posts.sql
Auto-merging wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups/revisr_wp_postmeta.sql
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups/revisr_wp_postmeta.sql
Auto-merging wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups/revisr_wp_options.sql
CONFLICT (content): Merge conflict in wp-content/uploads/revisr-backups/revisr_wp_options.sql
Automatic merge failed; fix conflicts and then commit the result.

    I’m sort of at a loss. I’d like to use Revisr to pull database changes between environments but it seems that Revisr itself is thwarting me. Am I missing something?

    Thanks for any help you can give.

    Alright, it worked when I cloned to a different web server and tried database backup and import process (make change->backup database->push->pull).

    This inspired me to delete my “Staging” install and re-clone it from GitHub.

    And miraculously everything seems to be working correctly after doing that.

    This is great news because it’s working, but terrible news because I have no idea what was wrong or why it’s “fixed” now.

    I’m going to keep playing with it to see if I can find any more problems or inconsistencies. I really appreciate your attention on this issue. Revisr is integral to the development workflow I’m proposing to my team and I know how much time support issues like this (especially weird ones with no obvious cause or resolution!) can take. Thank you.

    Thanks for the update. I’m marking this as resolved as things seem to be working for you, but please don’t hesitate to open a new thread if you run into any further issues or track down the cause of the problem.
