Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The expected commit hash for tag v12.0.3 in the package definition doesn't match the actual commit hash in the Git repository. The package definition expected commit 76ea754dbb0bfb3e157981ec73ba4ef1efae4207, but the Git repository has commit b6513f5273c2f3cdab958d47c57789a0c5d03def for that tag.

Analysis

The pattern across all three similar fixed build failures is consistent: when there's a mismatch between the expected Git commit hash in the package definition and the actual commit hash for a specific tag in the repository, the fix always involves updating the expected-commit hash to match what's actually in the Git repository. This typically happens when:

1. A tag is moved or updated in the upstream repository
2. The package version is updated, but the expected-commit hash wasn't updated accordingly
3. Git tags point to tag objects instead of directly to commits, requiring the commit hash to be updated

In all examples, the solution was to update the expected-commit hash in the YAML file to match the actual commit that the tag points to in the repository. This is a straightforward fix that doesn't require complex changes to the build configuration.

Explanation

This fix addresses the root cause of the build failure by updating the expected-commit hash in the git-checkout section to match the actual commit hash that tag v12.0.3 points to in the Grafana repository.

The error message clearly indicates that the build system expected commit 76ea754dbb0bfb3e157981ec73ba4ef1efae4207 for v12.0.3, but found b6513f5273c2f3cdab958d47c57789a0c5d03def instead. This mismatch is causing the build to fail because the git-checkout step is designed to verify that the expected commit matches the actual commit for security and reproducibility reasons.

When the git-checkout pipeline step runs, it fetches the specified tag (v12.0.3) from the repository and then verifies that the commit it points to matches the expected-commit value. Since these don't match, the build fails.

This mismatch could have occurred for several reasons:

1. The upstream repository might have moved the tag to point to a different commit
2. The tag might point to a tag object rather than directly to a commit (similar to Fix Example #0)
3. The expected-commit value might have been incorrectly entered when the package was initially created

By updating the expected-commit hash to b6513f5273c2f3cdab958d47c57789a0c5d03def, we're telling the build system to expect the current commit that the v12.0.3 tag points to, which will allow the build to proceed successfully.

Alternative Approaches

• Verify if there's a newer version of Grafana (e.g., v12.0.4) that could be used instead, which would involve updating both the package version and the expected-commit hash
• If the version discrepancy is due to a Git tag that points to a tag object rather than a commit, we could modify the git-checkout step to add '--dereference-tags' option, though this would be a more invasive change to the build system
• Check if the upstream repository has been rebased or if the tag has been moved intentionally, and consider reaching out to upstream maintainers to understand why the tag points to a different commit than expected
