git commands are failed when used as github action in node:lts-hydrogen container

[DKurilo]

Bug report

We have such an error when running as github action in node:lts-hydrogen container:

    → Command failed with exit code 128: git --no-pager log -n 1 --format="%H ## %ct ## %ae ## %an"
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/__w/*****/*****'
To add an exception for this directory, call:

	git config --global --add safe.directory /__w/*****/*****

✖ Failed to retrieve git information

To avoid this chromaui/action just should do what git asked for, for example in actions/checkout there is parameter in input settings that is running this: https://github.com/actions/checkout/blob/96f53100ba2a5449eb71d2e6604bbcd94b9449b5/action.yml#L80
that is doing this:
https://github.com/actions/checkout/blob/96f53100ba2a5449eb71d2e6604bbcd94b9449b5/src/git-source-provider.ts#L43

Can we add the same into chromaui/action, please?

Upd:
Main issue here is docker uses not the same user id and group id as underlying host. So solution is here:
actions/runner#691
I'm closing it.

Hi @DKurilo,

Could you explains the steps you took to solve this issue. I'm not well verse in GitHub actions and I couldn't make the workaround work.

My base Chromatic job

jobs:
  Code-quality:
    ...
  Tests:
    ...
  Chromatic:
    needs: [Code-quality, Tests]
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: node:20
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/cache@v4
        with:
          path: node_modules/
          key: "${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('package-lock.json') }}"
      - name: Run Chromatic
        uses: chromaui/action@latest
        with:
          projectToken: ${{ secrets.CHROMATIC_PROJECT_TOKEN }}
          onlyChanged: true
          exitOnceUploaded: true

Hi @GMartigny ,
It was long time ago. I really even don't remember I wrote this. But it looks like I didn't left it without answer. Just read my Upd. :)
So I think in your case something like this can help:

jobs:
  Code-quality:
    ...
  Tests:
    ...
  configure:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    outputs:
      uid_gid: ${{ steps.get-user.outputs.uid_gid }}
    steps:
      - id: get-user
        run: echo "::set-output name=uid_gid::$(id -u):$(id -g)"
  Chromatic:
    needs: [Code-quality, Tests, configure]
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    container:
      image: node:20
      options: --user ${{ needs.configure.outputs.uid_gid }}
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: actions/cache@v4
        with:
          path: node_modules/
          key: "${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('package-lock.json') }}"
      - name: Run Chromatic
        uses: chromaui/action@latest
        with:
          projectToken: ${{ secrets.CHROMATIC_PROJECT_TOKEN }}
          onlyChanged: true
          exitOnceUploaded: true

I hope it helped. :)
