Trying to implement git info as part of a create-react-app where the .git directory is in my profject folder above the client directory:
[project]
- .git
- [client]
- [server]
My start and build commands:
"start": "REACT_APP_GIT_SHORTHASH=`git log -1 --pretty=%h` REACT_APP_BUILD_TIMESTAMP=`date '+%F_%H:%M:%S'` react-scripts start",
"build": "REACT_APP_GIT_SHORTHASH=`git log -1 --pretty=%h` REACT_APP_BUILD_TIMESTAMP=`date '+%F_%H:%M:%S'` react-scripts build",
Locally I am able to issue these commands no problem while I'm in the client directory, however when attempting to deploy with docker using Github Actions I'm getting the following:
> [email protected] build
> REACT_APP_GIT_SHORTHASH=`git log -1 --pretty=%h` REACT_APP_BUILD_TIMESTAMP=`date '+%F_%H:%M:%S'` react-scripts build
fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git
client Dockerfile
FROM tarampampam/node:17-alpine
ARG VERSION
ENV VERSION $VERSION
ARG BUILD_TIMESTAMP
ENV BUILD_TIMESTAMP $BUILD_TIMESTAMP
# Setting working directory. All the path will be relative to WORKDIR
WORKDIR /client
# Copying source files
COPY . .
# Installing dependencies
RUN npm i -g npm@8 && npm i
# Building app
RUN npm run build
EXPOSE 3000
# Running the app
CMD [ "npm", "run", "start" ]
Do I have to clone my git repo (private) and implement ssh just to issue this git command?
Am I missing something?
The REACT_APP_BUILD_TIMESTAMP is working flawlessly.
The
COPY . .instruction will NOT copy dot folders/files at the root level (/foo/.barwill be copied, but not.foo).Just add
COPY .git .and it'll work.
