[Nix-dev] hydra build fails on unstable localhost

[stewart mackenzie]

Okay I'll update my localhost, the server compiles and tests pass, so
I'll focus on the next issue... being a hydra-create-user issue:

    postgresql = {
       enable = true;
       package = pkgs.postgresql;
       dataDir = "/var/db/postgresql";
       authentication = ''
         # Generated file; do not edit!
         local all all                trust
         host  all all 127.0.0.1/32   trust
       '';
     }

Now I've dropped the db and the user, recreated both:

# createuser hydra -P
# createdb -O hydra hydra
# echo "grant all on database hydra to hydra;" | psql hydra

then issued the below commands

[root at server:~]
$ hydra-create-user sjm --password 123 --role admin
DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::_prepare_sth(): DBI Exception:
DBD::SQLite::db prepare_cached failed: no such table: Users [for

me.username = ? )"] at

Some light on this issue would be great!
