Rundeck Version Upgrade to 3.3.9

Question

We have been trying to upgrade Rundeck from 3.2.8 to 3.3.4 and above. We are facing issues with the JDBC connectors since mysql JDBC connectors are no longer bundled with Rundeck distributions. We have followed the Rundeck Recommendations with the jdbc connectors, but still facing some issues on the DB end. Here are a few issues we noticed in the logs, please help

Answer 1

Please check the documentation you need to change the driver class name to org.mariadb.jdbc.Driver, then restart rundeck.

Answer 2

Alternatively to this solution you can download and use the MySQL driver to keep your configuration, take a look at this guide.

Also, make sure that you're defined dataSource.dbCreate = update on your rundeck-config.properties config file.

Answer 3

Seems to be a problem with liquibase migrations. I created a new schema in the database and compared it to my current schema and realized that one column was missing, that worked for me.

ALTER TABLE `rundeck`.`workflow_step` ADD COLUMN `expand_token_in_script_file` BIT(1) NULL DEFAULT NULL AFTER `adhoc_execution`;
