Gitlab 7.8 post-recieve custom hook is not working

I was trying get post-receive hook work through custom hooks but it seems like not working. pre-recieve hooks seems to be working just fine.

Here is what i have tried

1. cd /var/opt/gitlab/git-data/repositories/star/champ.git/custom_hooks
2. Added the below lines in post receive file, this is to push any changes to pushed to camp.git repository in gitlab server to a different server vi post-receive #!/usr/bin/env ruby system 'git push -f origin --mirror' 3.Cloned the repository and did a push, but the changes are not getting pushed to the remote server. Anyone has any idea how to get this working ?

PS: same thing if i add in pre-receive hook, it works just fine. but pre-receive hook pushes changes to remote server before the gitlab server accepts the changes. so I can't use this Also, If i remove the soft link between hooks and /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-shell/hooks then put a normal post-receive hook file inside hooks directory, it works just fine.

This is confirmed and was fixed in 7.8.1

Status changed to closed

where can I see the changes?

I was looking at source code at github and compared the diff of 7.8.1 to 7.8.1 https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/compare/v7.8.0...v7.8.1 Couldn't see any change related to the hooks. Am i looking at wrong place ? :(

Yes, this was implemented in gitlab-shell: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell/compare/v2.5.3...v2.5.4
