Inconsistent behavior of dart pub global activate on Desktop and GitLab

[Stargator]

Environment

• pub version: Pub 2.15.1
• OS version: N/A, I think Linux. It's the environment of a GitLab job
• Are you using the Chinese community mirror or a corporate firewall? No

Problem

Please describe the problem in detail, including the specific command that is
failing.
I'm running dart pub global activate junitreport --verbose

But the executable tojunit is support to run bin/tojunit.dart which does not exist in the .pub-cache/global_packages/junitreport/. In face, junitreport does not have a bin directory.

WARN: Warning: Executable "tojunit" runs "bin/tojunit.dart", which was not found in junitreport

Was the problem with a specific package you were trying to fetch? junitreport

If relevant, what does the pubspec.yaml file for your project look like: pubspec.yaml

environment:
  sdk: '>=2.15.0 <3.0.0'

executables:
  repomod: 0.0.1-alpha

dependencies:
  args: ^2.3.0
  dart_style: ^2.2.0
  logging: ^1.0.2
  path: ^1.8.1
  yaml: ^3.1.0

dev_dependencies:
  test: '<2.0.0'

Expected behavior

I expected .pub-cache/global_packages/junitreport would have a bin directory and all other necessary files to allow the tojunit command to work properly.

I tested this locally on my MacOS and it works fine. As far as I can tell in the logs, running the above locally has only one section that does not exist in the GitLab job:

MSG : Building package executables...
IO : Deleting directory /Users/Stargator/Workspace/GitLab/repomod/.pub_cache/global_packages/junitreport/bin.
MSG : Built junitreport:tojunit.
FINE: Building package executables finished (1.014s).

So I would expect to see the above output when running the command in a GitLab job

Actual behavior

The .pub-cache/global_packages/junitreport directory is missing its bin directory and unable to allow the tojunit executable to run properly.

Perhaps your cache has been corrupted somehow?

Try removing the folder: file:///builds/mcmahonjohn/repomod/.pub-cache/hosted/pub.dartlang.org/junitreport-2.0.2/ and activate again.

[Stargator]

@sigurdm I removed any caching so that folder no longer exists before the job executes.

The same result occurs. Could it be that it's related to the detect platform?

[sigurdm]

Is your /builds/mcmahonjohn/repomod/ inside a git repo?

Maybe our file-listing is doing tricks here...

[Stargator]

@sigurdm repomod is the git repository directory's root.

I can't reproduce this locally, but I can inside a GitLab job.

[sigurdm]

Does repomod have any '.gitignore' or '.pubignore' files?

[Stargator]

@sigurdm Yes just a .gitignore file:

# Files and directories created by dart pub
.dart_tool/
.idea/
.pub-cache/
.packages
build/
coverage/

# Directory created by dartdoc
doc/api/

I was able to resolve the issue. The issue was related to how I was using .gitlab-ci.yaml

I had a variable defined as:

PUB_VARS: "--platform vm --coverage=./coverage --reporter json" | tojunit -o ./report.xml

And using it as such:

dart test $PUB_VARS

But I shouldn't have embed the tojunit command in the variable.

However, I am still getting this error/warning notice:

Warning: Executable "tojunit" runs "bin/tojunit.dart", which was not found in junitreport.

But the report seems to still be able to be parsed into the proper format

I have the same problem when i run my test on Bitbar... Did u find any solution?

@appAutoTesting As I mentioned "But I shouldn't have embed the tojunit command in the variable"

I had the tojunit as part of a variable command line argument. For me the fix was to separate them like this:

TEST_VARS: "--platform vm --coverage=./coverage --reporter json""
JUNIT_VARS: "tojunit -o ./report.xml

That way I would run it in my .gitlab-ci.yaml like this:

script: dart test $TEST_VARS | $JUNIT_VARS

I do still get

Warning: Executable "tojunit" runs "bin/tojunit.dart", which was not found in junitreport.

But that isn't breaking the functionality for me, I still get the converted report.
