Problem
The meta tester is broken.
Cause
In #3958 I added
--user
to thepip3 install
, because I thought it would be cleaner than copying/usr/local
from one image to the next. However, when it runs these images, GitHub sets$HOME
to/github/home
, which they map to a folder they control:This takes
/root/.local/lib/python3.10
, which is where all our modules are installed, out of Python's module search path, which breaks everything. (It also makes for a very confusing problem because mydocker run
commands seemed to work fine until I spottedHOME
in that long list of environment variables.)Changes
Now we install to
/usr/local
again and copy it forward. Impact on image size is negligible:
