🔄 Build Failed: Git Checkout Error

FAIL Expected commit 4d7093e1e4eb37e77441dc0f9c83e0af7a9d4180 for v0.0.15, found 2387d5988168d327b3ae2fc176d01648e815437e

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

There's a commit hash mismatch during the git checkout step. The build expects the tag v0.0.15 in the base-images repository to point to commit 4d7093e1e4eb37e77441dc0f9c83e0af7a9d4180, but it actually points to commit 2387d5988168d327b3ae2fc176d01648e815437e. This is likely a configuration error in the YAML file where the expected commit hash for the base-images tag was incorrectly specified.

Analysis

Looking at the similar fixed build failures, there's a consistent pattern: in each case, there was a mismatch between the expected commit hash specified in the expected-commit parameter of the git-checkout step and the actual commit hash for a given tag. The fix in each example was to update the incorrect expected-commit hash to match the actual commit hash that the tag points to. In our current failure, the issue is specifically with the base-images repository at tag v0.0.15 - the build expects commit 4d7093e1e4eb37e77441dc0f9c83e0af7a9d4180 but found 2387d5988168d327b3ae2fc176d01648e815437e instead. The YAML file incorrectly uses the same expected-commit value (4d7093e1e4eb37e77441dc0f9c83e0af7a9d4180) for all three git-checkout operations, which is clearly incorrect.

Explanation

The current build failure is occurring because the YAML file has the wrong expected-commit hash for the base-images repository at v0.0.15. The error message indicates that the build expects the commit 4d7093e1e4eb37e77441dc0f9c83e0af7a9d4180, but the actual commit for v0.0.15 is 2387d5988168d327b3ae2fc176d01648e815437e.

Looking at the YAML file, I can see the issue is that both the base-images and docker-machine git-checkout steps are using a hardcoded commit hash (4d7093e1e4eb37e77441dc0f9c83e0af7a9d4180) instead of using the values defined in the vars section. This is inconsistent with the pattern seen in other successful builds.

The solution is to replace the hardcoded commit hashes with the corresponding variable references:

1. For the base-images checkout, use ${{vars.base-images-commit}} which is already correctly set to 2387d5988168d327b3ae2fc176d01648e815437e at the top of the file.
2. For the docker-machine checkout, use ${{vars.docker-machine-commit}} which is set to cf3838a1fea6e12f8a167f7f76df1f939ef69662.

This approach ensures that the expected commit hash matches the actual commit hash for each repository, preventing the build failure. It also follows the pattern used in other successful builds and makes future updates easier by centralizing these values in the vars section.

Alternative Approaches

• Instead of using variable references, we could directly update the hardcoded commit hashes to match the actual commits. However, this approach is less maintainable as it duplicates values already defined in the vars section and would require changing values in multiple places for future updates.
• We could also consider updating the gitlab-runner package to use a different version of base-images if needed, but this would require verifying compatibility with the current gitlab-runner version and is a more invasive change than simply fixing the commit hash references.
