Renovate: [Gradle] Unable to determine develop version as git describe did not return expected value

[LeJeanbono]

What Renovate type are you using?
hosted App with GitLab

Describe the bug

My project datawarehouse have 2 modules (api and e2e) configured in settings.gradle :
include 'api' include 'e2e-test'
I don't know if it's a git configuration problem or a project structure one.

Did you see anything helpful in debug logs?

[viceice]

@LeJeanbono No warn or error message?

@rarkins Can the first error be an old git version?

[rarkins]

Possibly. @LeJeanbono when you say it passed, I assume you also mean it worked and extracted the expected dependencies?

Also can you tell us the two job IDs - working and not-working?

[LeJeanbono]

Thanks for taking care :)

[LeJeanbono]

@viceice You've got the warn in my first message, no errors.
git version 2.17.1

[viceice]

We have a timeout! @rarkins What is the default timeout for the app?

https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/ecd981bf6403723868f37d96b380a8fcdde864a2/lib/manager/gradle/index.ts#L66-L77

[rarkins]

The app doesn't change any of the timeouts. Does that mean it's taking more than 10 minutes to simply extract the dependencies?

[viceice]

can you look at the logs? here are no time stamps

[LeJeanbono]

Can you give me the git describe command please?
Is there other tasks during the init script ?

[rarkins]

Here's timestamped logs of a failure:

The timestamp indicates that it failed about 69 seconds after the previous log message, so doesn't appear to be timer-related.

Here's the timestamped logs of a (very rare) success:

I can confirm it found a lot of deps and updates in those three files.

[viceice]

@LeJeanbono We do not call git directly, we simply call out gradle plugin:
https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/blob/ecd981bf6403723868f37d96b380a8fcdde864a2/lib/manager/gradle/gradle-updates-report.ts#L35-L68

Can you try to run that manually? or provide a minimal public repo to reproduce the issue.
Maybe one of your gradle plugins are the issue here.

[rarkins]

I tried Google searching for the log message in the failures and pretty much only find this issue

[viceice]

Tried that too, nothig found 😅

[LeJeanbono]

No more problem with Git at this moment, did nothing...
A new one with Gradle :
WARN: Gradle extraction failed
{ "errMessage": "Command failed: docker run --rm --name=renovate_gradle --label=renovate_child -v \"/mnt/renovate/gl/csuite/datawarehouse\":\"/mnt/renovate/gl/csuite/datawarehouse\" -v \"/tmp/renovate-cache\":\"/tmp/renovate-cache\" -w \"/mnt/renovate/gl/csuite/datawarehouse/api\" renovate/gradle bash -l -c \"./gradlew --init-script renovate-plugin.gradle renovate\"\nError: Could not find or load main class org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain\nCaused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain\n" }

I regenerated gradle wrapper (Gradle v6.0.1) but same error
Job : https://app.renovatebot.com/dashboard#gitlab/csuite/datawarehouse/155946182
Any clues @rarkins @viceice .
Thanks ! :)

[viceice]

🤔 Does graddle wrapper work locally after git clean -fdx ?

[viceice]

Which java version do you use locally? out docker image uses java11 (default jre on ubuntu 18.04)

[LeJeanbono]

openjdk 11.0.6 2020-01-14
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.6+10-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu118.04.1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 11.0.6+10-post-Ubuntu-1ubuntu118.04.1, mixed mode, sharing)

git clean -fdx => Remove my .gradle folder

[LeJeanbono]

Got /.gradle/ in my .gitignore

[viceice]

ok, did you commit /gradle/wrapper directory? it's required if you have the /gradlew and /gradlew.bat files in repo root.

In /gradle/wrapper dir should be gradle-wrapper.jar and gradle-wrapper.properties

[LeJeanbono]

Yep, I've got /gradle/wrapper with jar and properties
and /gradlew in the repo

[LeJeanbono]

Properties :

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.0.1-bin.zip
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists

[viceice]

Oh, I've goot a warning too

@jGleitz Can you help here?

[viceice]

trying to create a simple repro

[viceice]

https://github.com/viceice/renovate-test

[LeJeanbono]

Not the same error, but yes

[viceice]

Even more strange. locally i get another error

[viceice]

Last known successful run for my selfhosted bot was around 28.2. 🤔

[rarkins]

Do you use renovate/grade ?

[viceice]

yes, using renovate/renovate:19.179.0-slim in gitlab pipeline. Its also failing in renovate app on github

[rarkins]

Did we upgrade the gradle image around that time?

[viceice]

nope, only base digest updates since last year. it worked atleast until 28.2.2020

[rarkins]

Weird. I was sure I had updated renovate/gradle to use gradle v6

[viceice]

last changes to gradle, after this only parent digest changes

[jGleitz]

I had a look at https://github.com/viceice/renovate-test. Here is what I found:

When I first executed renovate on my for of the repo, I also got this error:

 WARN: Gradle extraction failed (repository=jGleitz/renovate-test)
       "errMessage": "Command failed: sh gradlew --init-script renovate-plugin.gradle renovate\ngradlew: 158: Syntax error: \"(\" unexpected\n"

This is caused by renovate using sh instead of bash, see https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate/issues/5799

When trying to execute gradle locally in this repository, it fails. This is because the Gradle setup is missing repositories and dependencies, see https://developer.android.com/studio/build. This leads to the

> Plugin with id 'com.android.application' not found.

that @viceice has found. I have fixed this in my fork, see https://github.com/jGleitz/renovate-test/commit/d6e1507078aec2d8d8b531ceeba7f62d7b52a21b

[jGleitz]

Weird. I was sure I had updated renovate/gradle to use gradle v6

Please be aware that updating gradle in the Docker image would be a breaking change!

While we should have an eye on versions in the Docker image, this is not relevant here, because the repository uses the Gradle Wrapper. That means that the gradle installation from docker should not be used.

[viceice]

@jGleitz sorry, missed to add the root build.gradle to the test repo. Fixed that

[rarkins]

Please be aware that updating gradle in the Docker image would be a breaking change!

I'm not sure we can abide by this. In general, we will continue to support the latest version of each tool in the pre-built image. Anyone who needs different needs to build their own image.

• Should a major update of a third party dependency cause a major version bump to our published Docker image? Highly undesirable as we want to keep Docker image versions matching the published Renovate version.
• Should a major update of a third party dependency within the pre-built Docker image cause a version bump of Renovate itself? I'd also prefer not for that

But it raises an interesting topic. I guess strictly speaking our deliverable is the published npm package and our semver versioning reflects that. If a breaking change is in the Docker image we can try to align it with a major update to Renovate itself, but we can't guarantee it.

[jGleitz]

I agree that this is a difficult topic. However, I also think that updating gradle without a major version change is not okay. It will break people’s builds.

In the case of gradle, we could avoid this issue by stopping to support repositories that don’t use the gradle wrapper. However, this does not solve the issue for other managers.

[viceice]

I think we do not break other peoples builds by updating our (internal) tools. But we can break renovate when the new version is not compatible with the old files in the users repository. That case we always try to fix.

For gradle i think most users use the wrapper now?

[jGleitz]

But we can break renovate when the new version is not compatible with the old files in the users repository.

Yes, this is what I wanted to say.

For gradle i think most users use the wrapper now?

That is also my impression.

[jGleitz]

@LeJeanbono: This issue as developed quite a bit. I, at least, have lost the overview of what has been discussed here. Is there any problem left, now that #5806 is merged?

[LeJeanbono]

Hi @jGleitz Thanks for your commit, but still same error :

[LeJeanbono]

This problem is solved : /mnt/renovate/gl/csuite/datawarehouse/api\" renovate/gradle bash -l -c \"./gradlew --init-script renovate-plugin.gradle => I have 2 modules api and e2e and a gradlew in api which reference gradle wrapper in api not in project root. I deleted it and now It's ok.
But It come back to the first error of this issue :

When I run git describe in root folder and in api => 1.19.3-91-g55ed477b

[LeJeanbono]

@viceice @rarkins @jGleitz
How can I help you on this ?
Same error on an other project.
Structure file :

• .gradle folder
• gradle wrapper folder
• api module folder
  
  
  
  • build.gradle
  
  
• e2e-test module folder
  
  
  
  • build.gradle

When I run against a fork of this locally I get the error first time (Compliance error - Unable to determine develop version as git describe did not return expected value).

Searching these terms on Google still just returns hits related to this issue.

When running git describe in shell :

~/Projets/renovate_gradle (develop)
$ git describe
'annotated-tag'-1-g0f5ce61

For what this command is usefull ?
Maybe --all option is missing or the quote in the middle is not valid

I have no idea where “git describe” is even being called
