Git version: 1.8.3.1
Operating system: CentOS v7.6.18.10 (Core)

Description

Trying to execute a daily dump using the cron.daily facility which invokes the following script:

#!/bin/bash
TMP_DIR=/tmp
BACKUP_FILE=gitea-dump_$(date +%a).zip

sudo -u git /usr/local/bin/gitea dump --config /etc/gitea/app.ini --file "${BACKUP_FILE}" --tempdir "${TMP_DIR}"
chmod 644 "${TMP_DIR}/${BACKUP_FILE}"

The script fails to create the dump file with the following output:

$: sudo /etc/cron.daily/gitea

chmod: cannot access ‘/tmp/gitea-dump_Mon.zip’: No such file or directory

FWIW: The script used to work in Gitea v1.8.0 - but stopped to do so since v1.9.0

We're missing any errors that Gitea might be showing. Could you please run the following command by hand and paste its output here?

cd /tmp ; sudo -u git /usr/local/bin/gitea dump --config /etc/gitea/app.ini --file "gitea_test.zip" --tempdir "/tmp" && ls -ls /tmp/gitea_test.zip

Well ... your suggestion works and generates the following output:

2019/08/20 08:49:39 ...dules/setting/git.go:83:newGit() [I] Git Version: 1.8.3.1
2019/08/20 08:49:39 ...dules/setting/log.go:226:newLogService() [I] Gitea v1.9.1 built with GNU Make 4.1, go1.12.8 : bindata, sqlite, sqlite_unlock_notify
4194240 -rw-------. 1 git git 3352169795 Aug 20 08:52 /tmp/gitea_test.zip

For whatever reason my script started to work today too. Only thing that has changed is, that the machine was rebooted.

Anyway, the issue seems not to be Gitea related at all. Closing the issue for now. Thanks for your help!!
