Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes involve modifying the --workdir option in the docker run command within the src/model/docker.ts file. The original implementation used a hardcoded Windows-specific path prefix (c:) for the dockerWorkspacePath. The updated code removes this prefix, enabling the path to be utilized directly, thereby enhancing compatibility across different environments.

Poem

In a world where paths may roam,
A rabbit hops to find a home.
With docker now more free to play,
No c: to bind, just hop away!
Flexibility in every stride,
A workspace path, our joyful guide! 🐇✨

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

• Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
  • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>.
  • Generate unit testing code for this file.
  • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
• Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
  • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
• PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
  • @coderabbitai generate interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table.
  • @coderabbitai show all the console.log statements in this repository.
  • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
  • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
  • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

What seems a little odd about this is in v2, it was hardcoded to c:/github/workspace which nobody seemed to have any issues with. We currently have a Windows 11 runner building successfully on V4 without touching the workdir variable, so maybe there's another variable at play?

Here's the v3 commit with the changes for reference: 3032a4a

Hey @AndrewKahr, I agree.
It does seem weird but as I understand, the path should be relative as opposed to absolute for the --workDir argument.

Unless I'm missing something, even in the action items you've written, I believe we're on the same page that it should definitely be omitted from the command.

[AndrewKahr]

It was instructed to leave out the drive letter because the variable was shared between Linux and Windows, so the Windows function would prepend the c: portion while the Linux one doesn't prepend the c:. So at the action level, it is still technically absolute pathing with an assumption of a c drive in the container for Windows containers. And at the docker level, it is supposed to be absolute.

This sounds like you could be hitting a path conversion error based on the shell that's being used: docker/cli#2204
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/40213524/using-absolute-path-with-docker-run-command-not-working

This makes the fix tricky since people with self-hosted runners may be using different ENV vars/shell types on their runners.

@AndrewKahr thanks for pointing me in the right direction with this!

Happy to report that I managed to find the fix to the issue. If anyone runs into this issue, the solution is quite simple.
I noticed that on Dockers Desktop there's an option to utilize both Linux Containers and Windows Containers.

By default, my machine was set to Linux Containers which is not which causes the following error:

When you switch it to Windows Containers:

The docker service should spin up without any errors:

Thanks again for your help @AndrewKahr , can happily close this ticket! 😄
