fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/github/workspace'

I run into an issue when using the axel-op/dart-package-analyzer@v3 recently, the error log

Running pana

here's the failed job
https://github.com/AgoraIO-Extensions/Agora-Flutter-SDK/actions/runs/8075870137/job/22154729575?pr=1585

After some search, actions/runner-images#6775, I tried to add this as a workaround in my step, but it's no luck.

git config --global --add safe.directory '/github/workspace'

I'm not very sure if it should be added inside the Dockerfile, I think it can easily reproduce this issue with the following workflow config

jobs:
  flutter_codestyle_check:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: subosito/flutter-action@v2
        with:
          channel: 'stable'
      - uses: axel-op/dart-package-analyzer@v3
        id: analysis
        with:
          githubToken: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

Hello,

Thanks for reporting this issue.

After some search, actions/runner-images#6775, I tried to add this as a workaround in my step, but it's no luck.

The problem is that pana runs Git in a way that prevents any custom config to be used, this is why your workaround didn't work.

I fixed the issue by assigning the ownership of the Git directory to the user set in the container.

Btw, this issue failed my automated tests recently so it shouldn't have made its way to you, but I thought it was a bug in my tests and I changed the tests instead of the code... I'll be more careful next time.

Thanks @axel-op :) no worries about the small break

[littleGnAl]

@axel-op It works now, thanks for your work.

[buenaflor]

it's still failing for us, anything we're doing wrong? getsentry/sentry-dart#1918

[axel-op]

@buenaflor Thanks for notifying it. Here's what I did:

• The process changing the ownership of the Git directory is now awaited to ensure it has completed before running the analysis.
• Logs have been added in case the process returns an error.

Can you please retry the workflow?

[buenaflor]

Still failing unfortunately :(

[axel-op]

I think I found the root cause and definitely fixed the issue. Your package is located in a subdirectory. My initial fix acquires the ownership of this subdirectory only but not of the root repository. The problem is that Git commands are run from the root.

I implemented a fix and added a new test to prevent any regression. Tell me if this solves your issue :)

[buenaflor]

works now, thx!
