How about starting the whole subroutine with
git fetch --tags origin
instead? This will ensure tags locally and not trigger a HTTP request to GitHub.There was a problem hiding this comment.

The problem is not that tags are locally missing, but that the fork repo in fact does not have any tags, also not online. I could rephrase the log to "local/origin", to make that clear. It just makes sense for anyone who contributes to the project, forking the repo to make an edit, then open a PR upstream: forks do not contain any tags, unless they are created at the fork.

I see. But is it really necessary to have the correct tag output in the build unless it is a release build? What is the value of having this tag?

The tags are used for the version string or the DEB packages. Originally, without a tag, "unknown" is used, which is no valid version for DEB, as it strictly requires version strings to start with an integer. Of course we could "echo 1" or so, but I see no reason for DEB packages built on forks to have no proper version string, which compares well to upstream/distro/installed versions of the package, even if it is used for testing purposes only.

Very well, however I fear it will potentially silently ignore tags from a (faulty) local copy.
I want the checked out copy to be the source of truth for the version tag, not the upstream.

Hi again.
How about a guard before L163 that checks whether the locally checked-out copy's origin is
dtcooper/raspotify
? This way we can have the best of both worlds.There was a problem hiding this comment.

Sounds good. I'll implement this in a few hours.

Not so trivial to know whether the local repo is supposed to be
dtcooper/raspotify
or not. Git itself has no concept for owner or repo name, this is all a GitHub-only thing. Best I could find is checking theorigin
remote URL, which is by default matching the repository that was originally cloned. GitHub allows some variations for this URL, and even that they are all redirected to a canonical,git remote
still returns the variant that was entered when cloning the repo.... okay and it does not work for the pull request triggered runs: On my fork, the push triggered builds were successful, but here not. Reason is that the origin indeed is
https://github.com/dtcooper/raspotify
, and the "branch"/"ref" reflects the code from my fork instead. So we would need to check the ref as well, whether it is a pull request (should be possible to see from the name scheme). But this is becoming quite complicated and error-prone/not failsafe, worth the hassle?EDIT: If this requires some more thoughts, we can leave the build script untouched for now, and only replace the "unknown" with e.g. a static "0.1" from within the workflow, for tests to succeed as well on forks. In the workflow we can derive from variables, who the repo/head owner is, hence whether we can count on tags or not. I mean this PR was originally about adding a build test, not about making the build script itself compatible with forks. That can be done any time later, if there is a demand.

Screw it then -- it was worth a shot, but I prefer simplicity.
I'll try merging this PR as-is and see where that gets us :)
In the future I want to implement nightly builds, i.e. the latest commit on
main
should produce a GitHub pre-release where users always can download the latest debs, for testing.There was a problem hiding this comment.

I'll merge through the GitHub clickops after you revert that last commit then.
