Error: /etc/*release "no such file or directory"

Error

Run actions/checkout@v2
/usr/bin/docker exec  432276a4e63948fd1ce317e06c553d8b59da3899e0254e9381f32d34cf40b653 sh -c "cat /etc/*release | grep ^ID"
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: container_linux.go:349: starting container process caused "no such file or directory": unknown

Description

checkout is not able to find the /etc/*release file for some reason. A previous issue asserted it had to do with being alpine but i have tested the alpine/git container that worked in the exact same context:

$ docker run -it --rm drewmullen/lambda-build-python:0.1 -c 'cat /etc/*release | grep ^ID'
ID=alpine

$ docker run -it --rm drewmullen/lambda-build-python:0.1 -c '/bin/ls -l /etc/os-release'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 10 Jan  1  1970 /etc/os-release

one thing to note is that this container was built by a nix expression so its quite bare. perhaps there are some other requirements that yall could point to that i could be missing?

Yesterday I stumbled across this error using a BusyBox container and found this issue, today I took some time to debug it.

The reason for this is that GitHub Actions are written in JavaScript, so in order for an action to run inside a container, Node.js must be present, so the runner copies a Node.js build into the container.

The problem is that this build may not be compatible with the container. In my case, BusyBox doesn’t have the required shared libraries.

My armchair suggestion is that the Node.js build should be completely static to avoid these situations, but perhaps this has other disadvantages which make it impractical.

I’ve done a quick experiment that allows the action to run inside BusyBox, but I warn that no one under any circumstances should use it as a workaround.

What is happening: when a docker container is used the action runner adds a volume mount for the /__e/ directory. When running an ‘actions’ task that uses node it will use something like: /__e/node16/bin/node ....

The problem: this only works if the architecture on the host-runner is the same as the architecture in the container. If the host is x86_64 (64-bit) and you try to run a container with i386 (32-bit) then you’re out of luck. The node binaries in /__e are not suitable for that so they fail. A possible similar problem [but I did not fully verify that]: if the container is not using glibc as libc library but another one (for example musl which is used on Alpine) then you might be out of luck. Running an Alpine container should be possible tho since that is special cased in the actions runner.

Relevant code links:

• https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/main/src/Runner.Worker/Handlers/StepHost.cs#L156 - this checks for Alpine
• https://github.com/actions/runner/blob/main/src/Runner.Worker/Handlers/NodeScriptActionHandler.cs#L115 - this sets the path to the node binary

What can be done to check if you’re running into the same issue: extend the workflow and add this as an extra step:

      - name: Test node
        run: |
           echo "Checking for a usable node in /__e/node"
           for f in /__e/node*/bin/node; do
               echo "Testing: $f --version";
               $f --version || echo "$f does not work, exit status: $?"
           done

It will try to call --version on every node binary it can find in /__e/. Very likely none of them are working (if they were working you wouldn’t be reading this…) due to different architecture/different libc.

The bad news: the /__e/ path appears to be hard-coded and impossible to overrule… Installing node in the container is - usually - not a problem but it doesn’t make the problem go away since the runner calls node that is installed in /__e/.

The only way this can ever be fixed is if https://github.com/actions/runner is updated… https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/1011 was linked earlier in this ticket but it’s not 100% related… (~so I will likely create a new issue in that project~ see https://github.com/actions/runner/issues/2115)
