fix: pin silicos-it Jobs to the only tag that exists - #31
Merged
Conversation
Both Jobs in the silicos-it collection pinned '3dechem/silicos-it:stable'.
That tag has never existed:
3dechem/silicos-it:latest -> HTTP 200
3dechem/silicos-it:stable -> HTTP 404
The repository has published exactly one tag, 'latest', last pushed on
2017-08-15. So neither Job could ever pull its image, and
'manifest-silicos-it.yaml' is a deployed manifest - this is live breakage,
not a latent problem.
Pin 'latest' and bump both Jobs 1.0.0 -> 1.0.1.
'latest' is a dynamic tag, which production Job Definitions should not
normally use. This image is the documented exception: it is third-party,
we cannot republish it, and it is the only tag on offer. Pinning a digest
would be the usual way to get immutability without the upstream's
cooperation, but the Job Definition schema caps 'image.tag' at 24
characters and a sha256 digest needs 71, so that is not currently
representable. In practice the image has not moved in nine years.
Note both Jobs have no tests, which is why this went unnoticed: jote
reports 'found=0' for this manifest, so nothing ever attempted a pull.

The bug
Both Jobs in the
silicos-itcollection pinned3dechem/silicos-it:stable.That tag has never existed. Queried against the registry just now:
The repository has published exactly one tag —
latest, last pushed2017-08-15. So neither
shape-it-searchnoralign-it-searchcould everpull its image.
manifest-silicos-it.yamlis a deployed manifest (it is listed on the DataManager wiki's Day 1 Jobs page), so this is live breakage rather than a latent
problem.
The fix
Pin
latest, and bump both Jobs1.0.0→1.0.1.On using a dynamic tag here
latestis a dynamic tag, which production Job Definitions should not normallyuse. This image is the documented exception: it is third-party, we cannot
republish it, and it is the only tag on offer.
Pinning a digest would be the usual way to get immutability without the
upstream's cooperation — but it is not currently representable: the Job
Definition schema caps
image.tagat 24 characters, and asha256:digestneeds 71. Worth knowing, because "pin a digest" is one of the candidate answers
to the third-party image question in
squonk2-jobs#43,
and it would need a schema change first.
In practice the image has not moved in nine years, so the dynamic-tag risk here
is close to theoretical.
Why it went unnoticed
Both Jobs have no tests. jote reports
found=0for this manifest, so nothinghas ever attempted a pull — a dry-run validates the definition and a full run
finds nothing to execute. Adding even a minimal test for each would have caught
this. Not done here, to keep the fix to the breakage.
Verification
jote 0.14.0 with decoder 2.7.0, all six manifests:
