🔄 Build Failed: Git Checkout Error

FAIL Expected commit 5a92c190fd381efac7feb4d6790d4b98ea55dce1 for v1.5.0, found 7ebc5560b99549542dcca2ddb1561d7bb5946b09

Build Details

Category	Details
Build System	melange
Failure Point	git checkout with tag v1.5.0 and expected commit hash

Root Cause Analysis 🔍

The build failed during the git checkout step because the commit hash associated with tag v1.5.0 (7ebc5560b99549542dcca2ddb1561d7bb5946b09) doesn't match the expected commit hash specified in the build configuration (5a92c190fd381efac7feb4d6790d4b98ea55dce1). This indicates either the tag was moved to a different commit or the expected commit hash in the build configuration is outdated.

Analysis

The build failures are consistently caused by a mismatch between the expected commit hash specified in the build configuration and the actual commit hash that the git tag points to in the repository. In all three example fixes, the solution was to update the expected-commit field in the git-checkout step to match the actual commit hash that the tag points to. This pattern indicates that when tags are updated or moved to different commits in the upstream repository, the expected-commit hash in the build configuration needs to be updated accordingly. The key insight is that the fix is straightforward: we need to update the expected-commit hash to match the commit that the tag v1.5.0 actually points to, which is 7ebc5560b99549542dcca2ddb1561d7bb5946b09 in this case.

Explanation

The build is failing because the tag v1.5.0 in the k8s_gateway repository now points to commit 7ebc5560b99549542dcca2ddb1561d7bb5946b09, but the melange build configuration is expecting it to point to 5a92c190fd381efac7feb4d6790d4b98ea55dce1. This mismatch causes the git checkout step to fail.

This type of error commonly occurs when:

1. The upstream repository has force-pushed a tag to point to a different commit
2. The build configuration was created with an incorrect commit hash
3. The upstream repository uses annotated tags instead of lightweight tags, which can sometimes cause issues with git hash expectations

By updating the expected-commit field to match the actual commit hash that v1.5.0 currently points to (7ebc5560b99549542dcca2ddb1561d7bb5946b09), we're telling the build system to expect this specific commit when checking out the tag, which will resolve the mismatch and allow the build to proceed.

This approach is consistent with how similar issues were fixed in the past examples, where the expected-commit value was updated to match the actual commit hash for the tag.

Alternative Approaches

• Instead of hardcoding the commit hash, we could modify the build system to allow for a flag that skips commit verification for tags. However, this would reduce security by removing a check that ensures the code being built matches what was intended.
• We could implement a pre-build script that dynamically fetches the current commit hash for a tag and updates the expected-commit field, which would prevent this issue from recurring, but would add complexity to the build process.
• For extremely time-sensitive builds, we could temporarily pin to the specific commit instead of the tag (removing the tag entirely and just using the commit hash), but this would deviate from the normal pattern of using tagged releases.
