What's going on? Reinitializing it doesn't work. I seemed to have followed the docs. The way I run the command is:
esrally --pipeline=benchmark-only --track-repository=custom --track=/root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom/mytrack ... host arguments

Hi,

our docs explain under which circumstances it makes sense to use track repositories. So if you really want a track repository, can you ensure that you actually committed your changes? (this would be the next error otherwise).

You should do the following:

cd /root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom
rm -rf .git
git init
git add .
git commit -m "Initial commit"

Then everything should work.

Also, if you use a track repository, you just specify the name of the track, not the actual path to it.

So you can either use --track-path:

esrally --pipeline=benchmark-only --track-path=/root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom/mytrack ...

or --track-repository and --track:

So you can either use --track-path:

esrally --pipeline=benchmark-only --track-repository=custom --track=mytrack ...

@danielmitterdorfer

Yes, I have tried reinitializing multiple times according to the doc before starting the thread. Just to confirm:

~/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom# git status
On branch master
nothing to commit, working tree clean

In custom:

~/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom# ls
mytrack

Running

esrally --pipeline=benchmark-only --track-repository=custom --track=mytrack ...

Still gives:

[ERROR] Cannot race. Error in track preparator
	[/root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom] must be a git repository.

Please run:
git -C /root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom init

Neither the steps you've mentioned, nor the command in the error message seem to work.

Trying to get it working with:

esrally --pipeline=benchmark-only --track-path=/root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom/mytrack ...

Yields:

[ERROR] Cannot race. Error in track preparator
	Track path /root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom/mytrack does not exist

Same result even when I point to /root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom/mytrack/track.json

~/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom/mytrack# ls
challenges  files.txt  index.json  node_modules  operations  __pycache__  README.md  report.csv  terms.txt  track.json	track.py
~/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom/mytrack# echo $PWD
/root/.rally/benchmarks/tracks/custom/mytrack

So weird. I had it all working at some point.

Ok, @danielmitterdorfer I have found the issue. The key was in something that I've omitted as I've thought it to be useless information. I actually ran the command with --load-driver-hosts. Naturally, if the track is absent on the driver hosts it won't work, and truth be told it is mentioned in the docs. However, I believe it could be a little friendlier in the error message to say "make sure you have the track on the driver hosts if you utilize them" or a similar pointer. Between setting things up and running them you just forget what is what and git error message comes off as truly bizarre.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

thanks for your feedback; we really appreciate it. We'll see that we can improve the error message in that case.
