bare repo setup user home directory appears to interfere with rocks update/sync #554

CarbonChauvinist · 2024-10-10T03:40:19Z

Not sure if this is an issue to report to rocks.nvim or if it's from rocks-git.nvim.

It appears that using a bare repo setup for home dir is causing issues with how rocks (or maybe it rocks-git.nvim?) is cloning repos? Not sure what changed (I run nightly) as this used to work without issue prior to a couple of days ago.

See below for log from failed update attempt notice the fatal: working tree '/home/ghost' already exists. which is what clued me in to the potential? issue

Current nvim version:

NVIM v0.11.0-dev-941+gcd8e15e337
Build type: Release
LuaJIT 2.1.1725453128

output of `:Rocks log` when running nvim from home dir

But if I change working directories prior to starting neovim, for instance to /tmp I am then able to run Rocks update without reported errors in the notification ui popup (see log below):

Hey 👋

This looks like it could be related to #312.
I haven't been able to reproduce it yet.
Are you able to reproduce it consistently?

ERROR | 2024-10-09 23:20:15 | ...al/share/hotrocks/rocks/rocks_rtp/lua/rocks/luarocks.lua:64 | fatal: working tree '/home/ghost' already exists.

This definitely looks like it's a rocks-git.nvim issue.
It seems like the bare repo is interfering with the git clone command. Perhaps that can be worked around by setting the cwd of the vim.system call to some other (temporary) directory. 🤔
I'm away from my laptop now, but I'll look into it when I'm near it again.

CarbonChauvinist · 2024-10-12T13:58:01Z

Hmm, somehow missed that, yes, seems related. When I noticed the issue I was also in my nvim's config folder, I first tried changing working directories from within nvim itself (i.e. :cd) and then reran :Rocks update with the same outcome.

However, testing now and yes as long as I'm not in the config directory (~/.config/hotrocks/) when starting nvim the errors don't appear.

Even then though, with successful runs I still get warning/errors in the Rocks log about being unable to parse latest tags and being unable to determine latest version from rocks-git for just a few of my plugins (pasting here just in case it's somehow related, can open separate issue in rocks-git if not).

Other things to note after reading through #312 :

I also am using NVIM_APPNAME as I'm working to transition from lazy to rocks
I also have a bare repo home directory setup
I also am using hotpot.nvim

I am able to reproduce in the sense that it always happens with this current NVIM_APPNAME config. I am not able to reproduce against other attempts at recreating under new NVIM_APPNAME configs yet though.

I'm on arch as well - here's the output of running luarocks path in case it's useful

$ luarocks path

Is there a way to get more verbose logging in rocks log?

mrcjkb · 2024-10-14T20:47:24Z

I've just released a new version of rocks-git.nvim with a potential fix that sets the vim.system's cwd when cloning repositories:

fix: set cwd when cloning repositories rocks-git.nvim#60

Could you please let me know if this solves your issue?

CarbonChauvinist · 2024-10-16T02:35:50Z

Thanks. I've tried "rocks-git.nvim" = "2.3.2" and unfortunately, the same issue still persists (see log below for reference). It's important to highlight that the issue only seems to occur when I start nvim from my config directory. If I change directories from my config and start nvim I'm able to run sync or update.

origin  [email protected]:~carbonchauvinist/dotz (push)

Lastly, just to confirm starting nvim from my config directory and then changing nvim's working directory from within nvim itself (i.e. :cd ~) does not have any effect and still have the same errors when running rock update/sync. I have to change the actual working directory prior to starting nvim.

🤔 This tells me it's actually interfering with luarocks.

I've just pushed a similar fix in which rocks.nvim sets the directory to the rocks_dir when invoking luarocks. Perhaps that will solve it.

fix: run luarocks commands with cwd set to rocks_dir #560

Unfortunately still no dice with rocks.nvim = 2.40.4

rocks log from `:Rocks update` showing same errors

However, I do think I've stumbled on why this is happening perhaps. Seems that when using the NVIM_APPNAME env variable to start nvim AND starting nvim from the config directory, for some reason it adds GIT_WORK_TREE and GIT_DIR to the enviornment in nvim (see below for examples):

`tabnew | r !printenv` when starting with NVIM_APPNAME from home directory

If I then try to unset the work tree using := vim.uv.os_unsetenv("GIT_WORK_TREE") and verify it's no longer set with := vim.uv.os_environ() I run into different errors about being unable to fetch submodules and submodules can't be used without a working tree (see rocks log output below):

I'm not sure how helpful this is at all - I'm inclined to just make a note to not run rocks update/sync from my config directory when using a bare repo.

Seems that when using the NVIM_APPNAME env variable to start nvim AND starting nvim from the config directory, for some reason it adds GIT_WORK_TREE and GIT_DIR to the enviornment in nvim (see below for examples):

That sounds very fishy. I'm pretty sure it's not built-in Neovim behaviour:

Could this be caused by a plugin or your distro/package manager?

Since this affects luarocks, it will be resolved latest when we have migrated to rocks, see

[Feature!] Use rocks instead of luarocks #539

Cloning into 'rocks-edit.nvim'...
fatal: /usr/lib/git-core/git-submodule cannot be used without a working tree.

Error: Failed to fetch submodules.

This also looks quite suspicious. rocks-edit.nvim doesn't have any submodules. And why is luarocks trying to use /usr/lib/git-core/git-submodule? 🤔

@mrcjkb Yes, your suspicions were correct. After taking the time to comb through my config more closely I found some autocmds that I'd been testing and forgot about that automatically configured the GIT_WORK_TREE and GIT_DIR based on CWD. :(

Apologize sincerely for the time sink and noise - closing this issue.

Glad to see it resolved 😄
No need to apologise for asking for help.

rocks update in bare repo with GIT_DIR and GIT_WORK_TREE env vars set can lead to loss of uncomitted local changes nvim-neorocks/rocks-git.nvim#78
