Clone Succeeded, Checkout Failed

[gkgkgkgk]

When using RUN go get -d -v ./... in my docker file, I get the following error:

github.com/google/go-containerregistry (download)
# cd .; git clone https://github.com/google/go-containerregistry /go/src/github.com/google/go-containerregistry
Cloning into '/go/src/github.com/google/go-containerregistry'...
error: unable to create file pkg/v1/mutate/testdata/whiteout/.wh.foo.txt: Operation not permitted
fatal: unable to checkout working tree
warning: Clone succeeded, but checkout failed.
You can inspect what was checked out with 'git status'
and retry the checkout with 'git checkout -f HEAD'

Any Fixes? Thanks.

Oh that's terrible. We use a whiteout file as part of a test and it looks like creating whiteout files is forbidden inside the container, so the git clone fails. A possible fix would be to create that whiteout file as part of the setup for the test so we don't have to check it in. Alternatively, using dep will prune tests (which is why I didn't catch this myself).

@jonjohnsonjr Thanks so much for the response.

I use glide as my package manager for go, an I get the same error when using Glide in the Dockerfile.
How can I prevent the whiteout file from being checked in? Thanks.

@gkgkgkgk this should work now (I think) 👍

@jonjohnsonjr thanks, I'll test it out asap!
