git issue using atlassian/bamboo-agent-base docker image

Dennis Cheung_l01rsu

My goal is to run some git command inside a build using Bamboo YAML spec and atlassian/bamboo-agent-base docker image.

This is the Dockerfile extended from atlassian/bamboo-agent-base (copied from https://hub.docker.com/r/atlassian/bamboo-agent-base)

FROM atlassian/bamboo-agent-base
USER root
RUN apt-get update && \
apt-get install maven -y && \
apt-get install git -y

The image is built as 

atlassian-bamboo-extended:latest

Here is my bamboo yaml spec:

project:
key: COM
  plan:
key: CSP
    name: project CI
dockerImage: atlassian-bamboo-extended:latest
stages:
- jobs:
  - scripts:
    - '#!/bin/bash'
    - echo starting push code task
    - ls -la
    - pwd
    - git status
    - git diff
    - echo finished push code task
interpreter: shell

 

 

When the job runs, "ls -la" does list the source code. Here is the output of the rest of the command:

13-Feb-2019 23:22:29 error: object directory /var/bamboo/xml-data/build-dir/_git-repositories-cache/99b53e1f0d967effa88f7452e5067096c9acf7e1/.git/objects does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates.
13-Feb-2019 23:22:29 fatal: bad object HEAD

When the build is run without using the docker image, it works fine:

13-Feb-2019 23:25:07 On branch feature/SE-1234
13-Feb-2019 23:25:07 Your branch is up-to-date with 'origin/feature/SE-1234.
13-Feb-2019 23:25:07
13-Feb-2019 23:25:07 nothing to commit, working directory clean

Is there any reason why git does not work in the docker image?

Hi Dennis,

I am not an expert on Docker or git, but I will see if I can help.

How does the source code get into the container?

I didn't see any COPY command in your Dockerfile.

Also it looks like the .git folder is missing from the container https://medium.freecodecamp.org/understanding-git-for-real-by-exploring-the-git-directory-1e079c15b807

Also just wondering why you want to do a status and a diff inside a container, what is the higher level task you are trying to achieve?  There may be an alternative way to do what you're trying to do.
