[Bug] docker tag gittools/gitversion:5.3.5-linux-alpine.3.10-x64-netcoreapp3.1 was deleted from dockerhub

[mabead]

Describe the bug
It looks like someone deleted some tags for gitversion on dockerhub. We were using gittools/gitversion:5.3.5-linux-alpine.3.10-x64-netcoreapp3.1. Starting this morning, all our builds started to break. With many people on vacations in the holidays, this is a big blocker and source of risk for us.

Note that I tried to upgrade to gittools/gitversion:5.6.1-alpine.3.12-x64-5.0 but it failed like this:

Expected Behavior

Running gittools/gitversion:5.3.5-linux-alpine.3.10-x64-netcoreapp3.1 should work as usual.

Actual Behavior

Image does not exist anymore.

Possible Fix

Bring back the image in docker hub.

Steps to Reproduce

See above.

Context

As said in the introduction, this breaks all our builds that were working correctly last week. It is therefore a pretty big regression.

Your Environment

• Version Used: see above
• Operating System and version (Windows 10, Ubuntu 18.04): linux
• Link to your project:
• Link to your CI build (if appropriate):

[arturcic]

I noticed that as well, I will need to check why was that. For now can you try a different image ?
I run locally these 2 command and both got correct results
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/repo" gittools/gitversion:5.6.1-ubuntu.18.04-x64-5.0 /repo
docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/repo" gittools/gitversion:5.6.1-alpine.3.12-x64-5.0 /repo

[y0m1g]

Same thing on our side, we were using tags 5.0.0-linux-netcoreapp2.1 and now those images are just gone, and so our builds are stuck...

I tried upgrading to 5.6.1-alpine.3.12-x64-3.1 and 5.6.1-alpine.3.12-x64-5.0, but it fails because of #2301.

Also not sure what to do with our Windows builds that were using 5.1.3-windows-netcoreapp2.1, since now there's nothing left tagged for Windows anymore. 😞

[arturcic]

Also not sure what to do with our Windows builds that were using 5.1.3-windows-netcoreapp2.1, since now there's nothing left tagged for Windows anymore.

I would not recommend to use the docker image for windows, better the GitVersion.Tool or the chocolatey package

[mabead]

Also note that the documentation on DockerHub refers to a tag that does not exist anymore:

[arturcic]

The readme on dockerhub is not up to date

[mabead]

@arturcic as already said, gittools/gitversion:5.6.1-alpine.3.12-x64-5.0 does not work for me. I also tried gittools/gitversion:5.6.1-ubuntu.18.04-x64-5.0 and it also fails with the same error:

With like 70% of the team in vacations because of the holidays, it is pretty hard for me to find time to investigate and find why this fails. It would therefore be very appreciated if you could bring back the old tags.

[arturcic]

I will check if I can build older tags. But that might take time

[arturcic]

@mabead can you use
gittools/gitversion:5.3.8-linux-alpine.3.10-x64-netcoreapp3.1 instead of
gittools/gitversion:5.3.5-linux-alpine.3.10-x64-netcoreapp3.1 ?

[arturcic]

I was able to build that one, but it was not possible the exact 5.3.5 as there were some build scripts issues

[mabead]

@arturcic
Unfortunately, I was not able to use gittools/gitversion:5.3.8-linux-alpine.3.10-x64-netcoreapp3.1.

Since all our builds were blocked, I had to find the issue that preventing me to use 5.6.1. It ended up being caused by the fact that the environment variable Git_Branch was not defined in our TeamCity build. Version 5.3.5 was showing this warning message but GitVersion was not failing.

TeamCity doesn't make the current branch available through environmental variables.
Depending on your authentication and transport setup of your git VCS root things may work. In that case, ignore this warning.
In your TeamCity build configuration, add a parameter called `env.Git_Branch` with value %teamcity.build.vcs.branch.<vcsid>%
See https://gitversion.net/docs/build-server-support/build-server/teamcity for more info

With 5.6.1, I had the same warning but it caused GitVersion to fail. Once the root cause was found, I had to:

1. Add a TeamCity environment parameter that contains %teamcity.build.vcs.branch.<vcsid>%
2. Modify our Cake script to forward that environment variable to GitVersion
3. Repeat that for 55 TeamCity build configurations!

So, in the end our code is in a better shape but I must admit that it sent me off my planned tasks for the whole day.

Was there a release note or warning to prevent users that some tags would be deleted from DockerHub? If yes, where can I subscribe to such release notes?

[dbrougham]

Hi @arturcic,

Any chance the gittools/gitversion:5.2.1-netcoreapp2.1 image can be added back into docker hub?

Also just wondering why this happened? Has someone manually gone in and purged these images? Can imagine this is going to have widespread impact on many teams/orgs CI systems.

Cheers,

[arturcic]

@dbrougham @mabead @y0m1g I rebuilt the tags, hope they work as original images. I had to build the images in the format -

gittools/gitversion:$(Tag)-linux-$(Distro)-netcoreapp$(Version) where Tag is the gitversion version tag, Distro is the linux distro and Version is the .net core version (2.1 or 3.1)

see example for version 5.3.7 of gitversion

You can have a look here. I was able to build only for version 5.1.3 - 5.5.1 of GitVersion. So please consider targeting one of the tags from the range, or better the 5.6.x tags if possible.

@y0m1g I will try to use the same approach for windows containers, but we won't build windows containers starting v5.6.0 onwards

[dbrougham]

Thanks @arturcic, we will look to use the new tag format.

Out of interest, how did this occur? It seems a bit odd to have these images disappear? We now have a large number of repos that will require updates.

[arturcic]

@y0m1g I did the same build for nanoserver

Out of interest, how did this occur.
I will check that when I can get some spare time. for now closing this issue

I restored the images in this format
gittools/gitversion:$(Tag)-linux-$(Distro)-netcoreapp$(Version)
gittools/gitversion:$(Tag)-windows-$(Distro)-netcoreapp$(Version)

where Tag is the gitversion version tag, Distro is the linux distro (or nanoserver for windows) and Version is the .net core version (2.1 or 3.1)
