zipapp virtual environment creation fails if zipapp path is symlinked #1949

andyneff · 2020-09-25T19:57:40Z

Issue

On a fresh new system, trying to use the zipapp to setup a virtualenv when the pyz files is referenced by a symlink, it fails saying KeyError: "There is no item named 'nv/create/via_global_ref/_virtualenv.py' in the archive"

But it works on my machine?

Yes, if you ever used the virtualenv (zipapp?) successfully, it creates files in ~/Library/Application Support/virtualenv (on macOS) or ~/.local/share/virtualenv/ (on Linux) and the existence of these files (unzip and wheel) makes the zipapp work. By deleting that directory, you should be able to reproduce the problem. This was first discovered on travis-ci, where the machine is new every time.

KeyError: "There is no item named 'nv/create/via_global_ref/_virtualenv.py' in the archive"

Note: Notice /virtuale is missing from the KeyError, the exact length /private which is the difference between the TMPDIR and the real path of the TMPDIR on macOS

On Fedora, the last line becomes:

KeyError: "There is no item named '/virtualenv/create/via_global_ref/_virtualenv.py' in the archive"

Steps to reproduce

docker run -it --rm fedora:31
mkdir -p /tmp/foo/bar
ln -s /tmp/foo/bar /tmp/foo/bar2
curl -L -o /tmp/foo/bar/virtualenv.pyz https://bootstrap.pypa.io/virtualenv/3.7/virtualenv.pyz
python3 /tmp/foo/bar2/virtualenv.pyz /tmp/foo/blah

Here are some one-liners to reproduce the error

docker run -it --rm fedora:32 bash -c 'REAL=/tmp/foo/car; SYM=/tmp/foo/bbb2; mkdir -p "${REAL}"; ln -s "${REAL}" "${SYM}"; curl -L -o "${REAL}/virtualenv.pyz" https://bootstrap.pypa.io/virtualenv/3.8/virtualenv.pyz; python3 "${SYM}/virtualenv.pyz" /tmp/blah'

docker run -it --rm fedora:32 bash -c 'REAL=/tmp/foo/car; SYM=/tmp/foo/bbb2; mkdir -p "${REAL}"; ln -s "${REAL}" "${SYM}"; curl -L -o "${REAL}/virtualenv.pyz" https://bootstrap.pypa.io/virtualenv/3.8/virtualenv.pyz; python3 "${SYM}/virtualenv.pyz" /tmp/blah'

Not all values of REAL/SYM fail. It appears if the length of the symlink path and realpath differ, it fails. If they are the exact same length, no error occurs

Fail

REAL	SYM
/tmp/foo/bar	/tmp/bar/bar2
/tmp/foo/bar	/tmp/foo/bc
/tmp/foo/car	/tmp/foo/bb
/tmp/bb	/tmp/aaa

Does not fail

REAL	SYM
/tmp/foo	/tmp/bar
/tmp/foo/bar	/tmp/foo/abc
/tmp/foo/car	/tmp/foo/bbb

Fix for pypa/virtualenv#1949

gaborbernat · 2020-10-08T05:32:24Z

Wouldn't this be fixed if you're using the copy method, instead of the symlink one? The symlink method cannot work if you're deleting the app-data folder from where we symlink. 🤔 ?

andyneff · 2020-10-08T14:50:35Z

@gaborbernat Are you saying that a user should have to add flags when calling the zipapp?

docker run -it --rm fedora:32 bash -c 'REAL=/tmp/foo/car; SYM=/tmp/foo/bbb2; mkdir -p "${REAL}"; ln -s "${REAL}" "${SYM}"; curl -L -o "${REAL}/virtualenv.pyz" https://bootstrap.pypa.io/virtualenv/3.8/virtualenv.pyz; python3 "${SYM}/virtualenv.pyz" --copies /tmp/blah'
docker run -it --rm fedora:32 bash -c 'REAL=/tmp/foo/car; SYM=/tmp/foo/bbb2; mkdir -p "${REAL}"; ln -s "${REAL}" "${SYM}"; curl -L -o "${REAL}/virtualenv.pyz" https://bootstrap.pypa.io/virtualenv/3.8/virtualenv.pyz; python3 "${SYM}/virtualenv.pyz" --symlink-app-data /tmp/blah'

both fail the same

gaborbernat · 2020-10-08T15:11:14Z

I wonder why the copy fails, it should not, but will look into it. If you have free time to do it, and you can do it that would be even better 👍

gaborbernat · 2023-06-27T03:14:38Z

Seems no longer an issue as no one reported it in 3 years.

petamas · 2023-07-19T15:34:10Z

@gaborbernat: please reopen, I have just ran into this issue with virtualenv 20.24.0 on MacOS Catalina. (Why I'm still using Catalina is a long story.)

It seems to me that it's important that the .pyz is referred to through the symlink, i.e. if I cd into the directory, and only pass the name of the .pyz, then it works, but if I use the full path (which contains a symlink), then it fails.

gaborbernat · 2023-07-19T15:35:50Z

Please fill in a PR to fix it, we do not plan to work on this ourselves.

petamas · 2023-07-19T15:37:58Z

Thanks for the quick reply! I have no idea where in the code the problem is, but I'll try to take a look.

(For now, I worked around it by calling os.path.realpath() on the path to the .pyz before calling it in my scripts.)

petamas · 2023-07-19T15:47:43Z

Upon investigation of the code, it seems like addibg os.path.realpath to this line would solve the issue:

virtualenv/src/virtualenv/util/zipapp.py

Line 26 in 328f965

full_path = os.path.abspath(str(full_path))

ROOT has this function called, while full_path does not, so ROOT is not necessarily a prefix of full_path, making sub_file contain something weird. This also explains @andyneff 's observation about path lengths.

I'll try fixing it and PRing the fix later this week or next week.

I'm seeing this issue too when upgrading our vpython client from Python3.8 to Python3.11 (using virtualenv@fdfec65ff031997503fb409f365ee3aeb4c2c89f)

#2613 merged after virtualenv-20.17.1 being released. So backporting those modifications to 20.17.1 can fix the problem. steps:

cd /home/testuser/.cache/.vpython-root/store/virtualenv+8orjkq78m3kenajlbpj4ev6eq4/contents/virtualenv-20.17.1/
mv virtualenv.pyz virtualenv.pyz.bak
unzip virtualenv.pyz.bak -d virtualenv
vi virtualenv/virtualenv/util/zipapp.py

replace contents in zipapp.py

full_path = os.path.abspath(str(full_path))
    sub_file = full_path[len(ROOT) + 1 :]

to

  full_path = os.path.realpath(os.path.abspath(str(full_path)))
  prefix = ROOT + os.sep
  assert full_path.startswith(prefix), f"full_path={full_path} should start with prefix={prefix}"
  sub_file = full_path[len(prefix) :]

python3 -m zipapp virtualenv

Tried #1949 (comment) solution, and re-run gclient sync command, the errors are gone.

Thanks

I just got this error on a fresh download of the chromium dev kit on ubuntu -- this workaround worked for me too but I had to move the virtualenv.pyz.bak file out of the way first... Thank you!!!
