@arthurkok2, could you please share .dvcignore file or try removing certain items of it to see what is causing this?

[arthurkok2]

@arthurkok2, could you please share .dvcignore file or try removing certain items of it to see what is causing this?

my .dvcignore is empty except for some default comments:

# Add patterns of files dvc should ignore, which could improve
# the performance. Learn more at
# https://dvc.org/doc/user-guide/dvcignore

[rlamy]

@arthurkok2 Do you still have the issue if you upgrade dvc?

[eric-seppanen]

I am hitting the same error, note that dvc doctor also fails.

$ dvc pull

$ dvc --version
2.23.0

$ uname -s -r -v -p

[eric-seppanen]

The fact that two different people on very different versions hit this very specific error within a few hours makes me suspect that some dependency just released a broken version.

[eric-seppanen]

This is caused by pathspec 0.10.0, which was released 2022-08-30.

pip install dvc explicitly warns about the incompatibility. I missed the warning because I didn't know that pip ignores errors, and because the output was buried deep in a docker build log.

Downgrading to pathspec 0.9.0 fixes this for me.

[arthurkok2]

@arthurkok2 Do you still have the issue if you upgrade dvc?

For myself, no, issues goes away when upgrading to 2.23.0. However, seems like other are reporting the issue even on this version.

[raychinov]

We were facing the same issue during the dvc-pre-commit hook, executing pre-commit autoupdate before the hooks fixed it for us.

[dtrifiro]

The issue comes down from this change (1c8c980) in pathspec 0.10.0, which starts using a named group ps_d to match directory markers (e.g. /). Since we concatenate regexes here:

dvc/dvc/ignore.py

Lines 42 to 48 in 660c17f

	self.ignore_spec = [
	(ignore, re.compile("|".join(item[0] for item in group)))
	for ignore, group in groupby(
	self.regex_pattern_list, lambda x: x[1]
	)
	if ignore is not None
	]

we end up having multiple groups with the same name, which results in the re.compile error we see.

[dtrifiro]

Also, as @eric-seppanen pointed out, this is explicitly pinned to <0.10 in both dvc and scmrepo.

[skshetry]

Thanks @eric-seppanen, @dtrifiro. I did not notice that. I'm lifting the p0-critical Critical issue. Needs to be fixed ASAP. .

[Varungarg97]

Here I am getting the same error

dvc version : 2.3.0

python version: 3.7.9

please suggest...

[rlamy]

@Varungarg97 The workaround is to downgrade pathspec to 0.9.0.

[Varungarg97]

@rlamy Thank you working now

[semaraugusto]

got the same issue described above with the standard dvc package on nixos too.

Same logs and same dvc version as above.

dvc pull also isn't working with the same error
