What gitbash version are you using?

It's defininently a problem with those windows paths being passed to the "rsync" container.

texanator commented 9 months ago

I am using the Git for Windows SDK https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/releases/tag/git-sdk-1.0.8

$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.2.15(1)-release (x86_64-pc-msys)

git-bash.exe shows File version: 2.42.0.2

$ rsync --version

Can you try without --variable MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 @texanator

firecow commented 9 months ago
  • I am running the --variable MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 argument and I have it set as an environment variable.

You have set is as an environment variable, you say?

Please provide a printenv

The artifact is created in the expected .gitlab-ci-local directory when it runs and before the error is thrown.
.gitlab-ci-local\artifacts\hello\tempfile

gitlab-ci-local doesn't have any errors when using caching

Hopefully that's useful information. This is an amazing app that you've built and I've found a lot of value in it even while working around the artifact issue.

We need to get C:/git-sdk-64/gcl-builds to be /c/git-sdk-64/gcl-builds via gitbash terminal somehow.

Still having this issue today. No combination of {Windows CMD, PowerShell, Git Bash} and {gitlab-ci-local, gitlab-ci-local --variable MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1} works on my Windows machine.

Add MSYS_NO_PATHCONV to environment variables instead of using --variable MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1, this fixed the first error for me and created .gitlab-ci-local\artifacts

Add MSYS_NO_PATHCONV to environment variables instead of using --variable MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1, this fixed the first error for me and created .gitlab-ci-local\artifacts

Very confusing, but it works. Thank you! In the Git Bash, the command gitlab-ci-local --variable MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 does not work but MSYS_NO_PATHCONV=1 gitlab-ci-local works 🎉.

It reports an rsync error The source and destination cannot both be remote. at the end of execution, but still creates all expected contents in the .gitlab-ci-local\artifacts subdir.
