Error: Command failed with exit code 1: vendor/bin/dep deploy -vvv

[zahhar]

Hi all,

I feel like I tried everything to get Deployer v7 run as a Github Action triggered manually, but it fails with error:
Error: Command failed with exit code 1: vendor/bin/dep deploy -vvv

Locally it works fine.

My action code:

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: Deployment
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    
      - name: Setup PHP
        uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
        with:
          php-version: 8.0
          coverage: none
          tools: composer:v2, deployer:v7

      - name: Install Dependencies
        run: composer install -q --no-ansi --no-interaction --no-scripts --no-progress --prefer-dist

      - name: Deploy
        uses: deployphp/action@master
        with:
          private-key: ${{ secrets.KEY }}
          known-hosts: ${{ secrets.KNOWN_HOSTS }}
          dep: deploy -vvv

What I tried:

• Verbosity does not help: nothing gets printed to output. Seems it dies before it can print anything.
• Downgrading PHP to v7.4 does not help either - same result.
• Removing deployer:v7 from "Setup PHP" action leads to downloading deployer.phar that will be v6.8 and won't fit my deploy.php file.
• My deploy.php is on root level and it has only one host and one task — so nothing to configure.
• Secrets are configured fine - double checked.

What I am missing?

I’ll try to take a look.

@antonmedv - I spent some time analyzing the issue and came to the working solution both for Deployer 6.8 and Deployer 7.0 (beta).

My summary: This is because of randomly appearingcrc32 errors that make the whole process unreliable. For me crc32 error appears in more of 50% cases when I run Deployer 7 no matter where - locally on my MacOS Big Sur, or in Github Action running latest Ubuntu agent. So I had to revert to Deployer 6.8 and PHP 7.4 that work fine everywhere.

Note on ssh-multiplexing: I observed the issue with ssh connection happens in Github Action running ubuntu-latest agent pretty often. So I would propose to set switch it off in default Deployer configuration. It works much more stable then.

Here is my working Github Action workflow that works both for Deployer 7.0 and Deployer 6.8.
You only need to provide deployer_url and you are fine to go.

env:
  host_name: hostname-without-https.example.com
  key_filename: private.key
  deployer_url: https://deployer.org/releases/v7.0.0-beta.24/deployer.phar

jobs:
  deploy:
    name: Deployer Test
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    
    environment:
        name: dev
        url: "https://${{ env.host_name }}"

    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
    
      - name: Setup PHP
        uses: shivammathur/setup-php@v2
        with:
          php-version: 7.4
          coverage: none

      - name: Check dependencies for known vulnerabilities
        uses: symfonycorp/security-checker-action@v2
        
      - name: Add SSH key
        env:
          SSH_AUTH_SOCK: /tmp/ssh_agent.sock
        run: |
          mkdir -p /home/runner/.ssh
          ssh-keyscan ${{ env.host_name }} >> /home/runner/.ssh/known_hosts
          echo "${{ secrets.PRIVATE_KEY }}" > /home/runner/.ssh/${{ env.key_filename }}
          chmod 600 /home/runner/.ssh/${{ env.key_filename }}
          ssh-agent -a $SSH_AUTH_SOCK > /dev/null   
          ssh-add /home/runner/.ssh/${{ env.key_filename }}
      
      - name: Download Deployer
        run: |
          wget -O deployer.phar ${{ env.deployer_url }}
          chmod +x deployer.phar
  
      - name: Deploy to host
        run: |
          php deployer.phar deploy

And here is my deploy.php that also works for both version after you comment/uncomment respective blocks. Now it is configured to deploy Lumen app using Deployer 7.

<?php
namespace Deployer;

require 'recipe/laravel.php';

set('bin/php', function () {
    return '/opt/php74/bin/php';
});

set('bin/composer', function () {
    return '/opt/php74/bin/php /usr/local/bin/composer';
});

// Project name
set('application', 'appname');

// Project repository
set('repository', 'git@github.com:org/repo.git');

// Other config
set('allow_anonymous_stats', false);
set('keep_releases', 1);

// Shared files/dirs between deploys 
set('shared_files', [
    '.env'
]);
add('shared_dirs', []);

set('writable_dirs', [
    'storage'
]);

// Deployer 6.x only
//set('default_stage', 'dev');

//host('example.com')
//    ->stage('dev')
//    ->user('admin')
//    ->identityFile('~/.ssh/private.key')
//    ->set('deploy_path', '/var/www')
//    ->set('dotenv', '{{deploy_path}}/shared/.env')
//    ->multiplexing(false);

// Deployer 7.x only
host('example.com')
    ->set('labels', ['stage' => 'dev'])
    ->set('remote_user','admin')
    ->set('deploy_path', '/var/www')
    ->set('dotenv', '{{deploy_path}}/shared/.env')
    ->set('multiplexing',false)
    ->set('identity_file','~/.ssh/private.key');

//Now define your tasks after this line

Let’s try to investigate crm32 issues.

Issue is solved in v7.0.0-beta.25, this can be closed now.
