open[openQA][repo][error] openQA instance keeps reporting "dubious ownership" error when test run starts
0%
Description
Observation¶
Following errors keep showing up in autoinst-log.txt from each test run on my personal openQA instance.
First the machine on which this openQA instance run has been given a fresh reinstall. It runs new Leap 15.5 system.
Second I installed openQA on this machine by using
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/os-autoinst/openQA/master/script/openqa-bootstrap | bash -x
So I do not think there is environmental issue with this machine and system.
Every time a test run starts, following "dubious ownership" errors reported in autoinst-log.txt:
[2024-01-02T20:43:50.930410+08:00] [debug] [pid:4064] git hash in 'sle-micro': 2732d91d808f8abfc07f1e9d7e571c0ebb3ab1d4
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse
[2024-01-02T20:43:50.932239+08:00] [debug] [pid:4064] git url in 'sle-micro': UNKNOWN (origin remote not found)
[2024-01-02T20:43:51.167389+08:00] [debug] [pid:4064] git hash in 'sle-micro/products/sle-micro/needles': 60aef425dcfc1e2b6214d69869c8bf52ed48ca25
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse/products/sle-micro/needles'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse/products/sle-micro/needles
[2024-01-02T20:43:51.169498+08:00] [debug] [pid:4064] git url in 'sle-micro/products/sle-micro/needles': UNKNOWN (origin remote not found)
The error still persists even after executing
git config --global --add safe.directory xxx
I attached autoinst-log.text at this comment
Steps to reproduce¶
- Every time test run starts
Impact¶
- No sure whether openQA functions as normal because errors start showing up at the very beginning and before loading test modules
- These errors look not trivial because they are related to test engine.
- autoinst-log.text becomes less convincing because.
Problem¶
Looks like some wrong with test engine and repo itself.
Suggestions¶
- What needs to be fixed ?
- What setting needs to be adjusted ?
Workaround¶

The "first kind of error" is actually coming from os-autoinst-distri-opensuse so I suggest you create a separate ticket about that in progress.opensuse.org/projects/openqatests/, for the second kind of error I wonder how one can reproduce but we can try with the "openqa-bootstrap" call that you mentioned.

I found git config --system --add safe.directory '*' can solve the issue. But I am not sure whether this is the only or most suitable way. Replace --system with --global does not solve the issue.

- What user does the /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse directory belong to?
- As which user are you running openQA tests?
- As which user did you run the git config command?
Doing
git config --system --add safe.directory '*'defeats the purpose of that git feature and you might want to undo that. If the git directory does not belong to the user running the test, then the config command should be executed for the user running the test, and with--global, not--system, and ideally only with that directory.

Like I said, if the git repo belongs to geekotest and you run tests as waynechen, then you have to run git config --global --add safe.directory /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse as user waynechen, for each of the directories it complains about. Or, at your own risk, use *. If that doesn't help, then debugging is needed why git isn't seeing that configuration.

How to undo
git config --system --add safe.directory '*'
?

git config --system --unset safe.directory
git config --global still does not solve the problem, see
fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse/products/sle-micro/needles'
To add an exception for this directory, call:
git config --global --add safe.directory /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse/products/sle-micro/needles

Can you do the following as user waynechen?
git config --global --get-all safe.directory cd /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/opensuse/products/sle-micro/needles git status ls -ld
I think I am root in shell and also root when trigge openQA test run using openqa client.
- git config --global --get-all safe.directory
