New server, new problems: seed-via-docker.sh fails during `make tests`

[matentzn]

I am building a new server, trying to run make tests:

I am trying now to do everything by the book @gouttegd :D no more root user shenanigans etc.

Unfortuntately I don't get much of an error message here..

Different than https://github.com/INCATools/ontology-development-kit/issues/899, but perhaps related.

Well, we have this:

./seed-via-docker.sh -c -C tests/test-module-mireot.yaml
This script only works with ODK 1.3.2 and later. For ODK 1.3.1 or earlier, use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/INCATools/ontology-development-kit/v1.3.1/seed-via-docker.sh
make[2]: *** [Makefile:55: tests/test-module-mireot.yaml] Error 1

“Error 1” simply means that the command Make was trying to execute exited with a non-zero return code. The command it was trying to execute is the ./seed-via-docker.sh ... just above.

That script in its entirety is:

set -e

echo "This script only works with ODK 1.3.2 and later. For ODK 1.3.1 or earlier, use https://raw.githubusercontent.com/INCATools/ontology-development-kit/v1.3.1/seed-via-docker.sh"

ODK_IMAGE=${ODK_IMAGE:-odkfull}
ODK_TAG=${ODK_TAG:-latest}
ODK_GITNAME=${ODK_GITNAME:-$(git config --get user.name)}
ODK_GITEMAIL=${ODK_GITEMAIL:-$(git config --get user.email)}

docker run -e ODK_USER_ID=$(id -u) -e ODK_GROUP_ID=$(id -g) -v $PWD:/work -w /work --rm obolibrary/$ODK_IMAGE:$ODK_TAG /tools/odk.py seed --gitname "$ODK_GITNAME" --gitemail "$ODK_GITEMAIL" "$@"

The script managed to execute its first instruction (echo ...), since we can see the corresponding message in the output above.

The next two lines can’t possibly cause an error:

ODK_IMAGE=${ODK_IMAGE:-odkfull}
ODK_TAG=${ODK_TAG:-latest}

since they are nothing more than variable assignments, without any command to execute.

So what has failed is any one of the following three commands:

• git config --get user.name
• git config --get user.email
• docker run...

Given that it’s a new machine: have you set up your Git username and email on your account? git config --get user.name does return a non-zero error code if user.name has never been set.

Thank you @gouttegd! I am really thankful for the time you keep pouring into helping me learn to swim :)
