Error when running wmill sync pull due to temp dir?

I'm trying to run wmill sync pull for the first time (on a macbook) and it's immediately throwing this error:

❯ wmill sync pull

The path changes each time, but doesn't seem to be using any of the common environment variables like TMPDIR. Is there a setting to change where the wmill cli stores temporary files?

I just realized that error is coming from the server, not the client. But I still have the same issue, it keeps trying to use /usr/src/app instead of TMPDIR

The error is coming from the client

sigcoreOP•2y ago

That error was from the wmill cli, but I see it in the windmill server logs too:

I'm a bit confused by that actually

sigcoreOP•2y ago

I'm running the windmill server container as a non-root user. I just checked the example docker-compose file and it doesn't look like it specifies a user, but /usr/src/app is owned by root Is it expected to run as root? Or it might be a bug if it's just only been tested that way I set the work_dir to /tmp for the windmill server container and that made the error go away

rubenf•2y ago

👍 How are you running things btw ? What is this work_dir setting?

sigcoreOP•2y ago

Sorry, it's working_dir for docker-compose.yml. I'm using hashicorp nomad to run it though, and that one is work_dir for the same option. I think you can specify it in the Dockerfile too, but I still think it might be a bug if the app doesn't honor the TMPDIR variable https://github.com/compose-spec/compose-spec/blob/master/spec.md#working_dir

Alper•16mo ago

i have exactly the same problem. i'm using the original docker-compose.yml file: https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill/blob/main/docker-compose.yml client:

rubenf•16mo ago

should be fixed on next commit

Alper•16mo ago

wow, that was fast so whenever there is a new version in https://github.com/windmill-labs/windmill/releases i can update my docker image?

rubenf•16mo ago

it doesn ot require a release should be ready in a few mins

Alper•16mo ago

i stopped docker compose, ran docker compose pull and saw it refetched the "lsp" image restarted the services, but still got the same error when i try to sync. maybe i'm too impatient 😅

rubenf•16mo ago

you can repull now

Alper•16mo ago

it pulled the worker_native image and now the sync works! impressive, thx a lot not sure if this is related, but pushing doesn't work for me error on the client:

rubenf•16mo ago

well is that true ? Does the file not exist ?

Alper•16mo ago

it does not exist locally, yes

rubenf•16mo ago

well then ...

Alper•16mo ago

i pulled from the server, changed two files without deleting any and the pushed again. not sure why they should not be there

rubenf•16mo ago

Are you 100% sure you didn't delete or rename the file ?

Alper•16mo ago

i'll double check if i accidentally deleted them. but pulling again does not restore any files

rubenf•16mo ago

Delete the flow folder and pull again instead

Alper•16mo ago

still no flow.yaml file. i checked my local history, not even with the very first pull there was a yaml file. also not a json file. maybe a bug with the --json flag? i'm using wmill sync pull --json and wmill sync push --json

rubenf•16mo ago

yes looks like a bug with the --json flag indeed can reproduce with --json but noy --yaml

Alper•16mo ago

yep, can confirm it works without the flag
