Error: Failed to open repository at path: /home/runner/work/repo_name/repo_name

Hi there,

I'm trying to use CodSpeedHQ/action@v4.3.3 on the Ubuntu 24.04 runner, but with a custom docker container (ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-small-3.11.5 based on Ubuntu 24.04) like so:

jobs:
  rust:
    runs-on: ubuntu-24.04
    container:
      image: ghcr.io/osgeo/gdal:ubuntu-small-3.11.5
      options: --privileged

The benchmarks were able to run successfully, but an error showed up during upload (full logs here):

  ...
  Finished running 1 benchmark suite(s)
Uploading performance data
  Error: Error: Failed to open repository at path: /home/runner/work/repo_name/repo_name/
  Error: Error: failed to resolve path '/home/runner/work/repo_name/repo_name/': No such file or directory; class=Os (2); code=NotFound (-3)
  Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Had a look around and it might be due to this line: https://github.com/CodSpeedHQ/runner/blob/7bae2d436a775f16a2bf5227c91e27f470ca63cc/src/run/run_environment/github_actions/provider.rs#L93, which hardcodes to use /home/runner/work/{repository}/{repository} based on the default GitHub Actions runner.

I've tried setting a working-directory in this commit, but that didn't seem to work. Just wondering if there's any other solution to get this to work with custom containers that are still Ubuntu-based?

Hello, thanks for the report.

Thanks to your detailed report, and a fix is implemented in CodSpeedHQ/codspeed#151
It will be available as soon as we merge then release a new version of the action.

Please note that in most basic docker images, including the one you're using, git is not installed, and actions/checkout falls back to a tarball.
Because we do not want to re-implement github's merge commit logic on our end, we rely on git being present in the path for the checkout action so that we can have access to the .git during the runner's runtime.

An easy solution for this is to add this to your workflow file

      - name: Install git
        run: |
          apt update
          apt install -y git
          # Necessary for libgit, otherwise it will trigger a file system permission error
          git config --global --add safe.directory $GITHUB_WORKSPACE

      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

We have updated our documentation on github actions to include this information.

With this + the runner fixes to display a clearer error message when the issue occurs, it should hopefully help out in the future.

Thanks for the quick turnaround! I can confirm that the uploading performance data error is gone now with CodSpeedHq/action@v4.3.4 plus the install git commands 🥳
