github actions black run suddenly failing

[ThomasWaldmann]

Describe the bug

We suddenly have black fail on a PR that has no related changes.
After merging the PR, black is now also failing on master branch.

https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/actions/runs/4063411463/jobs/6995614199
https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/blob/master/.github/workflows/black.yaml

We pinned black to 22.6.0 there, log says:

Download action repository 'psf/[email protected]' (SHA:f6c139c5215ce04fd3e73a900f1372942d58eca0)

We also use that locally via our requirements.d/codestyle.txt.

If I run black 22.6.0 locally, it says everything is fine and it doesn't want to reformat anything.

Expected behavior

Should behave the same way locally as on github actions if using same black version.

Environment

• Black's version: 22.6.0
• OS and Python version: local: macOS, python 3.10.9. github action: ubuntu 20.04, python 3.8.10(?)

Additional context

It worked fine until about today (2023-02-01).

Here is a black run of yesterday:

https://github.com/borgbackup/borg/actions/runs/4059816119/jobs/6988280083

Master branch, single-line changeset, no complaints.

[ThomasWaldmann]

I locally upgraded to black 23.1.0 (latest version) and the changes it wants look quite the same as what I see on github actions.

So I suspect that @22.6.0 did somehow not work and it installed / used the latest version there.

To actually see the version it really installed on github actions, it would be useful if black told its version before it shows the diff.

[ThomasWaldmann]

A temporary workaround might be to just upgrade / pin to the current version (@23.1.0) and let it reformat the codebase using that.

[JelleZijlstra]

Quite confusingly, the GH Action's version is independent from the version of Black that is used to format the code. #3282 is tracking the fix for this issue.

See https://black.readthedocs.io/en/stable/integrations/github_actions.html for how to format the version of Black used by the action.

@JelleZijlstra the issue you linked is about Jupyter notebooks.

The docs link was helpful, thanks!

Sorry, I meant #3382.
