Error on self-hosted without `sudo`

[Boshen]

I'm experimenting with using self-hosted runner, but the machine doesn't have sudo, so it threw

Prepare environment
  Error: Failed to prepare environment: Error: The process '/usr/bin/sudo' failed with exit code 1

I can prepare the system with updated deps, but I'm not sure if pytest-codspeed is required for Rust :thinking:

We only support Ubuntu 20/22 for now, and it should work with self-hosted runners. What OS are you using? Maybe it wouldn't be a lot on our side to support it 😃

Totally, this is a legacy thing we plan to remove in v2. #83

It seems like checking the two sudos and removing the python stuff should make it work on self-hosted., given I don't have sudo nor python on the machine.

await exec(`sudo apt update`, [], {silent: true}); 
await exec(`sudo apt install ${debFilePath}`, [], {silent: true});

Yes, we can try. The only thing is the deb might not be suited for non-ubuntu distros. I'd like to reproduce, what os would be close to the one you're using?

I'm using ubuntu. It's the only distro that is closest to a github runner I think.

I can test your PR in my repo as well.

You can try it out with the branch feat/no-sudo-pip-support It should work with the following:

      - name: Run benchmarks
        uses: CodSpeedHQ/action@feat/no-sudo-pip-support
        with:
          token: ${{ secrets.CODSPEED_TOKEN }}
          run: pytest tests/ --codspeed
          no-sudo: true
          no-pip-install: true

Let me know if it fixes it :)

As it turns out, apt install requires sudo.

I managed to make this work on self-hosted by installing the .deb file on the machine and removed the prepare stage from this action https://github.com/CodSpeedHQ/action/commit/1d5e461fadb85df1ea95d7c42f66077dea0f72ae.

Successful run: https://github.com/web-infra-dev/oxc/actions/runs/6584112839/job/17888172716

As it turns out running codspeed on self-hosted require more work than I anticipated, let's close this and revisit the possibility of running codspeed on self-hosted in the future.

Sorry for the time wasted on making the change.
