Git info is generated in the dist dir

[marcoow]

The Git info is currently generated in the dist dir which causes problems if that dir is outside of the repo.

In our case we're deploying from a Docker container and mount the host's tmp dir as the tmp dir in the container. As that dir is a volume then and no regular folder any git operations performed in that dir won't work, leading to the error:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /usr/src/app/tmp)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

/usr/src/app/node_modules/ember-cli-deploy-revision-data/lib/scm-data-generators/git.js:16
        var info = log.latest;
                      ^

error Command failed with exit code 1.

The error in git.js being a consequence of the first 2 lines really:

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /usr/src/app/tmp)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

export GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM = 1 actually does fix the problem for us but it seems suspicious that the git info is generated from the dist dir as opposed to the root of the repo or working directory that ember deploy is run from.

[achambers]

I suspect that this line should probably pass the project root (context.project.root() from memory) in as the path as opposed to the dist dir. I can't think of any reason why the root of simpeGit should start at the dist dir

[mcfiredrill]

I'm not sure but maybe I'm running into this same issue trying to use the ember js buildpack on heroku?

Setting GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM to 1 did not seem to fix the error for me. However the message remote: Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set). went away when I did.

[marcoow]

That looks very much like the same issue.

[mcfiredrill]

So looks like I don't need any of the ember-cli-deploy dependencies for heroku, so this seems to be a non issue for me personally now.

FWIW I attempted to implement @achambers ' proposed fix, but the project property wasn't available on the context for me.

I find this strange as you can see that it's put in to the context here -> https://github.com/ember-cli-deploy/ember-cli-deploy/blob/master/lib/tasks/pipeline.js#L64

Weird.

[mcfiredrill]

Did you see my patch? Perhaps I'm doing it wrong.
@achambers
mcfiredrill@975cb56

[achambers]

@mcfiredrill I just saw it then. Are you sure the project is missing?

I got the root prop slightly wrong. It's actually project.getProjectRoot()

Could that have been your issue?

[mcfiredrill]

@achambers I think the error was unknown property 'root' of undefined or such , but I can try again when I have time

[achambers]

Hmmm. That's surprising to me. I'll have a look when I get to work

[thejohnnybot]

I ran into this issue today. Any updates on it?

[melv-n]

Ran into this issue today as well, running on Heroku:

@achambers @marcoow

[achambers]

@mirague Fancy looking in to the suggested fix I mentioned further up and submitting a PR?

[melv-n]

@achambers On Heroku I know for a fact they remove the .git directory when building the slug which is probably why @mcfiredrill and us are seeing these errors.

As for diving into this I'm not currently at capacity to do so, I recently started with Ember and got into the deploying only today.

I'm trying to think of ideas how we can expose the latest git tags inside the Heroku build process.. I know there's an env variable SOURCE_VERSION which contains the related git hash. We could use this for the git-commit strategy. But the tag still remains a question..

Update: I can get the version from package.json in this case, as opposed to using tag. If there's a custom resolver this can be fixed.

[melv-n]

@achambers I'm willing to give it a shot if you can help me out a bit. Any first steps/pointers to get me started?
