### Manually execute export steps
Exports sometimes fail without giving enough information to troubleshoot. In these cases, it can be
helpful to [execute the export process manually within rails](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/-/blob/master/docs/uncategorized/project-export.md#export-a-project-via-rails-console).
helpful to [open a rails console session](../../../administration/operations/rails_console.md#starting-a-rails-console-session)
and loop through [all the defined exporters](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/b67a5b5a12498d57cd877023b7385f7251e57de8/app/services/projects/import_export/export_service.rb#L65).
Execute each line individually, rather than pasting the entire block at once, so you can see any
errors each command returns.
```shell
# User needs to have permission to export
u = User.find_by_username('someuser')
p = Project.find_by_full_path('some/project')
e = Projects::ImportExport::ExportService.new(p,u)
e.send(:version_saver).send(:save)
e.send(:avatar_saver).send(:save)
e.send(:project_tree_saver).send(:save)
e.send(:uploads_saver).send(:save)
e.send(:wiki_repo_saver).send(:save)
e.send(:lfs_saver).send(:save)
e.send(:snippets_repo_saver).send(:save)
e.send(:design_repo_saver).send(:save)

## continue using `e.send(:exporter_name).send(:save)` going through the list of exporters
