lstat /sh: no such file or directory

[shanduur]

While running yoheimuta/protolint:latest in GitLab CI, I am seeing the following issue:

Using docker image sha256:24c5a6b29f508becaf3a39e8c4cc52633d4f3b29e0c209841e3d280a6ba57094 for docker.io/yoheimuta/protolint:latest with digest yoheimuta/protolint@sha256:a5c141bd8c56c2282277da04e80c2842bc531f08cb84c009dac07d1fbf603d91 ...
lstat /sh: no such file or directory
Cleaning up project directory and file based variables
ERROR: Job failed: exit code 2

I can't see why this is a issue, I switched to docker.io/library/golang:alpine and before script I installed it :

protolint:
  before_script:
    - go install github.com/yoheimuta/protolint/cmd/protolint@master
  script:
    - protolint lint ./proto/
  only:
    - main
    - merge_requests

This works fine. There might be an issue with how the image is built.

@shanduur docker build requires the protolint binary in your workplace.

I didn't expect that someone else wanted to build the protolint by themselves.
To use it as a tool, it's enough to run docker pull.

(base) ❯ docker pull yoheimuta/protolint:latest
latest: Pulling from yoheimuta/protolint

Let me know what you think.

No, no. I wanted to run the Protolint in the CI. Unfortunately, when using the docker image that you provided, the CI fails with the message I provided above:

lstat /sh: no such file or directory

When I use golang:alpine and install the protolint through go install ... it works fine.

Thank you for telling me.

I'm not familiar with GitLab CI.
Can you provide more specific information/instruction/steps to reproduce it on my hand?
I guess the excerpt of .gitlab-ci.yml seems helpful to narrow it down.

[shanduur]

You fan create empty repository and add two files:

• .gitlab-ci.yml:

protolint:
  image: docker.io/yoheimuta/protolint:latest
  script:
    - protolint lint .
  only:
    - main
    - merge_requests

• example.proto:

syntax = "proto3";
package component_api;

message Component {
  string name = 1;
  uint32 status = 2;
}

message ComponentResponse {
  Component component = 1;
  string error = 3;
}

This would run on every commit to main branch and on every commit in open merge request (pull request).

@shanduur I reproduced this issue. [1]

The immediate fix is resetting the entrypoint in .gitlab-ci.yml. [2]

protolint:
  image:
    name: docker.io/yoheimuta/protolint:latest
    entrypoint: [""]
  script:
    - ls
    - protolint lint .
  only:
    - main
    - merge_requests

The root cause is that GitLab CI requires images to have sh or bash for Linux. [3]
And the protolint image has not installed any additional shell in an effort to keep it slim. [4]

To show this workaround for GitLab CI, I'm going to add a note at https://github.com/yoheimuta/protolint#ci-integration.
What do you think?

Great! Thank you for your time, I will test that!

The root cause is that GitLab CI requires images to have sh or bash for Linux. [3]
And the protolint image has not installed any additional shell in an effort to keep it slim. [4]

[memo] I found out that the image has /bin/sh.

(base) ❯ docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/ash yoheimuta/protolint
/ # /bin/sh -c "echo 1"
1

Consequently, I presume that running entrypoint by GitLab CI includes something unexpected as many users have reported similar experiences at https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-runner/-/issues/26501.
