There are situations where a Zip archive from Sourcegraph causes the directory to be improperly recreated within the container. Using libarchive-tools fixes this.
Example broken output:
creating workspace: preparing local git repo: preparing workspace: Docker output:
+ git init
hint: Using 'master' as the name for the initial branch. This default branch name
hint: is subject to change. To configure the initial branch name to use in all
hint: of your new repositories, which will suppress this warning, call:
hint:
hint: git config --global init.defaultBranch <name>
hint:
hint: Names commonly chosen instead of 'master' are 'main', 'trunk' and
hint: 'development'. The just-created branch can be renamed via this command:
hint:
hint: git branch -m <name>
Initialized empty Git repository in /work/.git/
+ git config user.name 'Sourcegraph Batch Changes'
+ git config user.email batch-changes@sourcegraph.com
+ git add --force --all
error: invalid path 'path-to-dir/.gitmodules'
error: unable to add 'path-to-dir/.gitmodules' to index
fatal: adding files failed: exit status 128I then docker-exec'ed into the container. Unzip was creating .gitmodules as a symlink with the file contents rather than a normal file. Both the Git repository and Sourcegraph show the file correctly:
$ ls -la
total 72
drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 4096 Apr 18 13:01 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Apr 18 13:01 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 47 Apr 18 13:01 .dockerignore
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 85 Apr 18 13:01 .gitignore
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 79 Aug 16 05:36 .gitmodules -> <file content redacted>Unzipping this on my Mac host directly yields the correct directory. This means that the Zip file is fine, the unzip process is broken. Using bsdtar causes the directory to be correctly created.
