Git Lock Issue

[Wuser92]

We seem to have an issue with the version control of one of our projects. When saving changes or running recipes we get the following error:

LockFailedException: Cannot lock /home/dataiku/dss/config/projects/PROJECTKEY/.git/index

Is there an easy fix for this?

Try restarting DSS. If it does not fix the issue:

• Stop DSS


• Remove /home/dataiku/dss/config/projects/PROJECTKEY/.git/index


• Start DSS again

Thanks! I had to remove index.lock though.

Can I ask a follow up question?

The solution offered here works, but how can we prevent this from happening? i.e. what is causing this?
