'fatal: Unable to create '.../.git/index.lock': File exists. #103

Closed patricksheehan closed 5 years ago

patricksheehan commented 5 years ago

When running nbstripout via pre-commit I get the following error:

Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g. an editor opened by 'git commit'. Please make sure all processes are terminated then try again. If it still fails, a git process may have crashed in this repository earlier: remove the file manually to continue. fatal: Unable to create 'REPO_PATH/.git/index.lock': File exists.

Has anyone run into this? I've tried wiping my pre-commit installation, wiping the local repo, etc.

One more detail is that the command-line version does work as intended

Ok this seems to have resolved itself while I was doing some other things. Not sure what the state was that caused it, but I'll close this out!

Interestingly, I am getting this error when running nbstripout within pre-commit on GitHub actions:

https://github.com/pymedphys/pymedphys/pull/486/checks?check_run_id=232417630#step:4:64

Based on the following action:

https://github.com/pymedphys/pymedphys/blob/4a9d63ad6859e8d31ee2e3f277932233f8a69fcb/.github/workflows/main.yml#L5-L19

I tried doing a quick and dirty rm -fv .git/index.lock before running pre-commit but it didn't help...

@SimonBiggs have you had a chance to investigate further?
