Something is not right. No fractals, no islands. I had to do a cd /InfiniteGlass; make run manually.

Caught this strange error while building the docker...

[redhog]

Wow! That sounds liuke PyGObject changed and is broken in the latest version?

[IanTrudel]

Exactly!

[IanTrudel]

It's like a chain of events leading Cairo to fail also and finally glass-action.

[redhog]

yeah, if any of the dependencies fails install, everything comes down on your head...

[redhog]

Maybe try to hard-code an earlier version number for that library?

[IanTrudel]

Can't we just move back to the previous version?

[redhog]

Yeah, but you'd probably have to hard code that - right now I haven't pinned any versions - everything just uses latest...

[IanTrudel]

Would it be possible that the redhogorg/glass docker image is broken? I tried a couple Ubuntu images, one python image, several ways to install the proper Python requirements, etc. Nothing would work. Then running redhogorg/glass container will go directly to a bash prompt.

[redhog]

Things to try:

Remove the docker image and any cached non-tagged images. Rebuild the image locally.

If this still doesn't work, check out a really old InfiniteGlass version and retry the same. If this works, work your way forward using "git bisect" to find the faulty version. If this does not work, there are only two possibilities:

• Build fails due to changes in upstream versions
• Your docker install is somehow broken

I'll try to build this myself too ASAP and see if it works for me

[IanTrudel]

Rebuild didn't work but git checkout 14030eba7614589eab5489b6eac7ac418cc79958 et make run-in-docker work.

Take also note that python 2 is deprecated and caused some troubles in the newer docker container. Thus, it is necessary to remove RUN apt install -y python from the Dockerfile.

[redhog]

Hm, the RUN apt install -y python is to make the alternatives work, so that writing "python" will start python3, not just "python3"...

[redhog]

Thanks btw, that should be enough to debug this. I must have added some dependency somewhere after that that's broken.

[IanTrudel]

The absolute strangest thing is that only one Python file was modified in this commit. The code itself doesn't seem to be problematic.

Line 37 has hidden characters!

[IanTrudel]

False alarm. They are just spaces. :(
