Github Action checkout v3 fails on fetching - git error - The process '/usr/bin/git' failed with exit code 128 #9632

yardensade · 2024-04-04T10:23:22Z

Description

Many actions are all of a sudden failing today on checkout, absolutely nothing changed on my side.

This is the action step which I had for months:

runs:
  using: "composite"
  steps:
    - name: Check out ****-github-actions
      uses: actions/checkout@v3
      with:
        repository: ****-github-action
        ref: main
        path: ./.github/actions/****

Is it regression?

Repro steps

simply use checkout v3 with ubuntu 20:04 runner and it will fail, sporadically

shamil-mubarakshin · 2024-04-04T11:06:11Z

Hello @yardensade, I couldn't reproduce the issue, first job, second job. I would suggest contacting https://github.com/actions/checkout for further troubleshooting

yardensade · 2024-04-04T11:09:35Z

As I said this happens sporadically, the fact you ran it twice does not mean there is no issue.
I am running thousands of actions like that a day, and it happened to me dozens of times today, while most of the time it works.

I would not have taken my time to contact you if it was not very important, unlike the ubuntu version change that started this, checkout was not changed recently.

I am not the only one to experience this, I know for a fact it happens to others as well.

chris-griffin · 2024-04-04T15:58:31Z

We are also seeing this as new behavior. It is also sporadic, and happening about 1/100 runs. The first time I observed it was around the incident GitHub had last night so perhaps that incident is really ongoing?

jmuleiro · 2024-04-05T17:15:38Z

I'm also seeing this error sporadically. It occurred in one out of 25 identical ubuntu-20.04 containers created from a matrix strategy.

Topherhindman · 2024-04-05T17:24:03Z

I'm also seeing this error randomly. It's happening about one in 20 for me on runs created by a job using a matrix.

mikhailkoliada · 2024-04-05T17:35:50Z

I'll check linkage on Monday, some ideas crossed my mind

mikhailkoliada · 2024-04-05T18:23:16Z

@Topherhindman @jmuleiro @chris-griffin @yardensade can someone play around for me and if build does not fail for you, run the following command apt list --installed (output gonna be long), I suspect there might be dependencies change that caused this, and I wanna study its objdump

Just to confirm we are aligned, you mean to apt list prior to the checkout step?

mikhailkoliada · 2024-04-06T10:12:36Z

@yardensade Yep, better even 2 runs to compare, 1 apt list with green checkout and 1 apt list with red checkout (before the actual checkout happens surely), I need to compare some deep dependencies installed in the runner image but I was unable to catch the problem myself.

I will add it and send here once I get the logs from the broken build as well, should not take too long

The contents seem to be identical actually 🤔

mnylensc · 2024-04-08T07:56:37Z

Happens also with actions/checkout@v4 using ubuntu-latest runner.

mnylensc · 2024-04-08T11:00:52Z

Maybe related, but also managed to get invalid ELF header error from Python installed using actions/setup-python@v5 running on ubuntu-latest:

FYI: We're currently unable to deploy due to this.

erik-bershel · 2024-04-09T08:03:25Z

Heads up! @mnylensc @yardensade @chris-griffin @jmuleiro @Topherhindman
May I ask you to check your actions today. New images were rolled out couple hours ago.

yardensade · 2024-04-09T08:04:22Z

So far seems good to me, I will keep monitoring it in the next hours to make sure it is stable. (I moved to ubuntu 22 tho, which had a docker error but since your new version seems to be solved)

mnylensc · 2024-04-09T09:46:30Z

@erik-bershel thank you. Will monitor if this happens. If possible, is there an explanation of what could've caused this, if you think it's now fixed?

erik-bershel · 2024-04-12T09:47:51Z

Heads up!
Seems that the deployment resolved the issue - we see no new cases during last days.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide details of what happened at this time. If and when such an opportunity arises, we will publish this information here with a mention of those interested. We are now focused on developing tests that will allow us to catch similar problems at an earlier stage in the future.
