When I try to run the dev container for core I get the following error:

Any suggestions how I can solve this? Git is installed within my system

Have you tried running this command in the repository and seeing what it tells you? It’s returning error code 128 but it will probably give you more descriptive output on the command line

I had the same issue.

It would seem that when building the container /workspace/core ends up being owned by root, while the git command is being run by the user vscode. Git doesn’t like running commands on repositories owned by another user.

I added the command suggested by git in the error message to the /script/setup file at around line 18:

git config --global --add safe.directory /workspaces/core

I then rebuilt the container and it seemed to complete.

I have the same issue which has appeared in a recentish update.

For me, this:

yields:

An unexpected error has occurred: PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied:
 '.git/hooks/pre-commit'

:frowning:

Unfortunately I have the same issue with the git config command :confused:

I’ve had the same problem and running git config --global --add safe.directory /workspaces/core did not work properly. I added it to the the devcontainer.json postCreateCommand and this seems to work:

  "postCreateCommand": "git config --global --add safe.directory ${containerWorkspaceFolder} && script/setup",

I thought there was something wrong with my setup, but since you have the same problem, maybe I should open a PR, if it works for you too :slight_smile:

Thanks for the hint, but unfortunatly that also causes the same permission error for the pre-commit hook :frowning_face:

I hit the same issues. Ended up deleting the local repo folder entirely and still had the issues. Finally got it working after running the following command:

python3 -m pip install -e . --constraint homeassistant/package_constraints.txt

This was something removed from the bootstrap script run by the devcontainer.json a few months ago

This worked great for me too! Anyone knows why this is not part of the dev container already? Is there something I am doing wrong?

Thanks flabbamann! exactly the same on my side and your suggestion did the trick, while directly editting setup script didn’t do the magic… cool!

7 months later and I’ve come across the same problem. Solved it with this: Git issue when try to build dev container - #6 by flabbamann
