'buck2 build //tests:' can not find 'sh' when using case 'buck2/examples/remote_execution/buildbarn/tests'

[yaoddao]

• Prerequisite: installed Buildbarn with https://github.com/buildbarn/bb-deployments and use default configuration. I have verified that Buildbarn runs correctly and can build c++ using Bazel+Buildbarn.
• Run command below using default configuration in 'buck2/examples/remote_execution/buildbarn/'

  cd ./buck2/examples/remote_execution/buildbarn; 
  buck2 clean; buck2 build -v 4 //tests:

  But buck2 reports error:

user@./buck2/examples/remote_execution/buildbarn (main)>buck2 clean; buck2 build -v 4 //tests:

• But after I changed ctx.actions.run(["sh", "-c", 'cat "$1" "$1" > "$2"', "--", stage0, stage1.as_output()], category = "stage1") to ctx.actions.run(["/usr/bin/sh", "-c", 'cat "$1" "$1" > "$2"', "--", stage0, stage1.as_output()], category = "stage1")

  I run 'buck2 build -v 4 //tests:', and BUILD SUCCEEDED. So I think the reason of issue above may be Buildbarn worker's container does not search 'sh' in PATH.

• But I entered Buildbarn worker and runner container, I export:

user@../tool/bb-deployments/docker-compose (master)>podman --root=/share exec -it 3e58d0d02f76 sh
# export
export DEBIAN_FRONTEND='noninteractive'
export HOME='/root'
export PATH='/usr/bin/:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin'
export PWD='/tmp'
export TERM='xterm'
export container='podman'

PATH is correct and include /usr/bin;/bin and so on.

And, when I start up Buildbarn using 'podman-compose up', I have added PATH environment in docker-compose.yml

   environment:
   - PATH=/usr/bin/:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:$PATH

Question:

• Why cannot find executable "sh" in search paths "" when I run 'buck2 build //tests:'?

• Excuse me, may I ask you some questions @krallin : do you set special environment for Buck2 or Buildbarn when you run 'buck2/examples/remote_execution/buildbarn/tests'? Thank you very much!
