## Summary This fixes pull request creation failures on upgraded MSSQL instances where legacy `issue` and `comment` long-text columns are still limited to `nvarchar(4000)`. When a PR is created, Gitea stores a pull request push timeline comment containing JSON with `commit_ids`. For PRs with many commits, that payload can exceed 4000 characters and MSSQL rejects the insert with: > String or binary data would be truncated in table 'comment', column 'content' This change adds a migration that expands the affected legacy MSSQL columns to `NVARCHAR(MAX)`. The previous migration in models/migrations/v1_16/v191.go only applies to MySQL, not MSSQL. migration now skips columns already using NVARCHAR(MAX) / VARCHAR(MAX) Closes #37893 ## Changes - add migration `338` for MSSQL-only long-text expansion - expand: - `issue.content` - `comment.content` - `comment.patch` - add an MSSQL regression test that starts from a legacy `VARCHAR(4000)` schema and verifies inserts larger than 4000 characters succeed after migration ## Why this approach The current model already declares these fields as `LONGTEXT`, so the bug is caused by stale upgraded MSSQL schemas rather than by PR creation logic itself. Fixing the schema is the smallest and safest change, and also prevents similar truncation issues for other long issue/comment content.
Gitea
Purpose
The goal of this project is to make the easiest, fastest, and most painless way of setting up a self-hosted Git service.
As Gitea is written in Go, it works across all the platforms and architectures that are supported by Go, including Linux, macOS, and Windows on x86, amd64, ARM and PowerPC architectures. This project has been forked from Gogs since November of 2016, but a lot has changed.
For online demonstrations, you can visit demo.gitea.com.
For accessing free Gitea service (with a limited number of repositories), you can visit gitea.com.
To quickly deploy your own dedicated Gitea instance on Gitea Cloud, you can start a free trial at cloud.gitea.com.
Documentation
You can find comprehensive documentation on our official documentation website.
It includes installation, administration, usage, development, contributing guides, and more to help you get started and explore all features effectively.
If you have any suggestions or would like to contribute to it, you can visit the documentation repository
Building
From the root of the source tree, run:
TAGS="bindata" make build
The build target is split into two sub-targets:
make backendwhich requires Go Stable, the required version is defined in go.mod.make frontendwhich requires Node.js LTS or greater and pnpm.
Internet connectivity is required to download the go and npm modules. When building from the official source tarballs which include pre-built frontend files, the frontend target will not be triggered, making it possible to build without Node.js.
More info: https://docs.gitea.com/installation/install-from-source
Using
After building, a binary file named gitea will be generated in the root of the source tree by default. To run it, use:
./gitea web
Note
If you're interested in using our APIs, we have experimental support with documentation.
Contributing
Expected workflow is: Fork -> Patch -> Push -> Pull Request
Note
- YOU MUST READ THE CONTRIBUTORS GUIDE BEFORE STARTING TO WORK ON A PULL REQUEST.
- If you have found a vulnerability in the project, please write privately to security@gitea.io. Thanks!
Translating
Translations are done through Crowdin. If you want to translate to a new language, ask one of the managers in the Crowdin project to add a new language there.
You can also just create an issue for adding a language or ask on Discord on the #translation channel. If you need context or find some translation issues, you can leave a comment on the string or ask on Discord. For general translation questions there is a section in the docs. Currently a bit empty, but we hope to fill it as questions pop up.
Get more information from documentation.
Official and Third-Party Projects
We provide an official go-sdk, a CLI tool called tea and an action runner for Gitea Action.
We maintain a list of Gitea-related projects at gitea/awesome-gitea, where you can discover more third-party projects, including SDKs, plugins, themes, and more.
Communication
If you have questions that are not covered by the documentation, you can get in contact with us on our Discord server or create a post in the discourse forum.
