Octopus project broken after delete of channel

[TomasUnverdorben]

Hello,

we delete a channel from one of our deployment processes and unfortunately, the whole project becomes unreachable - we are not even able to open that project.

Could you please help us to make that project available again?

There is an error log:

Hi @TomasUnverdorben,

Thanks for reaching out! I’ll do my best to assist you here.
It looks like you’re encountering a permutation of this issue: GitHub Issue.

Can you please find out the Projects-Id of the project in question?
You should be able to find this in either a task log of a deployment of the project or the audit log where a project change has taken place.

This issue is usually caused by release versioning rules in the project settings or the channels not lining up with what exists in the project process steps.

If you’re able to get the project ID, you can reset the versioning strategy of the project using the below script; please note the variables entered MUST be correct for the script to work.

$spaceId must be the ID of the space containing the broken project.
$projectGroupName must be a currently existing project group inside the space $spaceId.
$lifecycleName must be a currently existing lifecycle name inside the space $spaceId.
$brokenProjectId must be a valid project ID (This is the project that you cannot open).

# Create Script Variables
$octopusUrl = "https://OctopusURL"
$octopusAPIKey = "API-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
$header = @{ "X-Octopus-ApiKey" = $octopusAPIKey }

# Case Specific Variables | Customise Lifecycle Name and Project Group if necessary.
$spaceId = "Spaces-1"
$newProjectName = "Project_For_Template"
$newProjectDescription = "Project created for version template to fix broken references. Will be deleted after."
$projectGroupName = "Default Project Group"
$lifecycleName = "Default lifecycle"

# BROKEN PROJECT ID
$brokenProjectId = "Projects-XX"

# Get Project Group Id
$projectGroup = (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get "$octopusURL/api/$($spaceId)/projectgroups/all" -Headers $header) | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $projectGroupName}

# Get Lifecycle Id
$lifeCycle = (Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get "$octopusURL/api/$($spaceId)/lifecycles/all" -Headers $header) | Where-Object {$_.Name -eq $lifecycleName}

# JSON Payload for template project
$jsonPayload = @{
    Name = $newProjectName
    ProjectGroupId = $projectGroup.Id
    LifeCycleId = $lifeCycle.Id
}

# Create new project
$newProject = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Post -Uri "$octopusURL/api/$($spaceId)/projects" -Body ($jsonPayload | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10) -Headers $header

# Gather deployment settings template
$depTemplate = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri "$octopusURL$($newProject.Links.DeploymentSettings)" -Headers $header

# Copy and modify template to match broken project
$newDepSettings = $depTemplate
$newDepSettings.Id = $newDepSettings.Id.replace($newProject.Id, $brokenProjectId)
$newDepSettings.ProjectId = $newDepSettings.ProjectId.replace($newProject.Id, $brokenProjectId)

# Determine deployment settings URL for broken project
$newUrl = $newProject.Links.DeploymentSettings.replace($newProject.Id, $brokenProjectId)

# Upload newly created default deployment settings to broken project
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri "$octopusURL$($newUrl)" -Headers $header -Body ($newDepSettings | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10)

# Delete Template Project
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Delete -Uri "$octopusURL/api/$($spaceId)/projects/$($newProject.Id)" -Headers $header

Running this script should at least gain you access to the project, if not completely resolve your issue.

Please let me know how it goes or if you run into any issues whilst running this script, and I’ll do my best to help!

Kind Regards,
Adam

Works like a charm! Thanks a lot
