Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The Git tag '0.18.0' in the sql_exporter repository points to commit 3f2726f3eb3d7ee74cfc0f0065aae7d57876c17d, but the build specification expected it to point to commit 298417071533eb9e092db50c8f49067edd643773. This mismatch caused the build to fail during the git-checkout step.

Update the expected-commit hash to match the actual commit hash for tag 0.18.0

Analysis

After analyzing the similar fixed build failures, I observe a consistent pattern: in all cases, the expected commit hash in the git-checkout step doesn't match the actual commit hash that the tag points to in the repository. The fix in each case was to update the expected-commit parameter to match the actual commit hash for the specified tag.

This mismatch occurs because:

1. Git tags can be moved or re-created, pointing to different commits than originally expected
2. The build system verifies that tags point to specific commits for integrity/security reasons
3. When the expected and actual commits don't match, the build fails with a specific error message indicating the commit mismatch

The solution pattern is consistent across all examples: update the expected-commit value in the git-checkout step to match the actual commit that the tag points to.

Explanation

The build is failing because the git-checkout step expects the tag '0.18.0' to point to commit 298417071533eb9e092db50c8f49067edd643773, but in the repository, this tag actually points to commit 3f2726f3eb3d7ee74cfc0f0065aae7d57876c17d.

This specific error message: "FAIL Expected commit 298417071533eb9e092db50c8f49067edd643773 for 0.18.0, found 3f2726f3eb3d7ee74cfc0f0065aae7d57876c17d" tells us exactly what's wrong - the expected commit hash doesn't match the actual commit hash for the given tag.

The fix is straightforward - update the expected-commit parameter in the git-checkout step to match the actual commit hash (3f2726f3eb3d7ee74cfc0f0065aae7d57876c17d) that the '0.18.0' tag points to in the repository.

Looking at the upstream changelog for SQL Exporter v0.18.0, we can see there were legitimate changes made for this release, including adding a new feature (--config.check flag) and updating dependencies. This confirms that the tag is valid and should be used, but we need to update our expectation of which commit it points to.

After making this change, the git-checkout step will successfully validate that the tag points to the expected commit and the build should proceed successfully.

Alternative Approaches

• Instead of updating the expected-commit value, you could pin to a specific commit rather than a tag. However, this would make future updates more difficult and is not recommended for the Wolfi workflow.
• You could temporarily disable commit verification by removing the expected-commit parameter entirely, but this would reduce security by not verifying the integrity of the source code being built.
