GitLab

Created by: narfbg

I don't know if this is only relevant to omnibus packages (that's what I use, and every other help resource refers to gitlab.yml instead of gitlab.rb), but the LDAP password I have to use happens to contain the single quote character.

I've tried escaping it via a backslash, or using double quotes around the value, but no matter what I put into /etc/gitlab.rb, after running gitlab-ctl reconfigure, the resulting (already parsed) string value is just shoved into /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/config/gitlab.yml with a single quote on each side and nothing else.

For example, if I were to do this:

# /etc/gitlab.rb
gitlab_rails['ldap_password'] = "foo'bar"

I would get this:

# /opt/gitlab/embedded/service/gitlab-rails/config/gitlab.yml
  ldap:
    password: 'foo'bar'

Naturally, that triggers a syntax error ...
