Shipshape error causing deployment failures
Resolved - This incident has been resolved.
Apr 17, 13:36 AEST
Update - GovCMS is applying a fix to the commands to run the shipshape audits for all master and secondary environments for all SaaS projects.

PaaS customers, if you have updated to the latest lagoon image (10.3.6) - you will need to apply this fix: https://github.com/govCMS/scaffold/pull/120/files
Apr 16, 17:21 AEST
Identified - An update to Shipshape requires a fix to be applied to the scaffold. Until this happens, Lagoon deployments will fail with the following error:

"Executing task 'Perform GovCMS platform validations' in pod [POD-NAME]
Error: unknown flag: --error-code
Usage:
shipshape [command]
..."

SaaS customers will need to raise a ticket so the service desk can do this for them.

PaaS customers can apply the fix themselves:

Scheduled - Advice

- Who is affected: GovCMS Drupal 10 (D10) community.

- Distribution was updated on Monday 14 April 2025

- No modules were added/removed from the distribution

- No outages are expected to websites during the deployment process.

- The D10 distribution will continue to be supported after this update. - If you have any concerns, raise a ticket at https://www.govcms.support

Deployment schedule plan:

- Deployment to commence from 6am Tuesday 15 April 2025 and will be conducted throughout the daytime.

- Production environments completed by 10am Wednesday 16 April March 2025

- Once production environments are completed, status page will be updated and Non-Production environments will kick off

- Non-Production environments completed by 10am Thursday 14 April 2025

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 1: Deployments during maintenance window

- During the scheduled maintenance window, ALL D10 SaaS deployments will be blocked while we deploy to the D10 Production environments.

- While the production block is on, you will still be able to develop and deploy to non-production feature branches.

- PaaS deployments schedules are not impacted.

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 2: Update local environments

- Ensure you update your local environments to the latest release. Not rebasing your codebase results in mismatched database configuration causing errors in forklifts and deployments.

❗ IMPORTANT NOTICE 3: For customers with configuration management enabled

- The latest configuration from your production database has been created for you in GitLab in a branch called action-required/latest-config-export.

- You need to review and test the changes in the merge request. Once you are satisfied, please check the “Delete source branch” box and click “Merge”.

- This MUST be done before any new commits.

- All subsequent deployments will be blocked in the CI pipeline until this merge request branch is deleted

- Not merging the latest configuration provided could result in your new database configuration reverting to an older version when you next deploy, potentially causing issues for your website.

- If no merge request is lodged after a release then no configuration has changed and no further action is required.
