find_commit.dart hardcodes master branch

[cbracken]

When looking up git commits, find_commit.dart uses a git log invocation here:

flutter/dev/tools/bin/find_commit.dart

Lines 68 to 75 in a2233ea

	return git(secondaryRepoDirectory, <String>[
	'log',
	'--format=%H',
	'--until=${anchor.timestamp.toIso8601String()}',
	'--max-count=1',
	secondaryBranch,
	'--',
	]);

This is called from here:

flutter/dev/tools/bin/find_commit.dart

Lines 99 to 105 in a2233ea

	print(findCommit(
	primaryRepoDirectory: primaryRepo,
	primaryBranch: git(primaryRepo, <String>['rev-parse', '--abbrev-ref', 'HEAD']).trim(),
	primaryTrunk: 'master',
	secondaryRepoDirectory: secondaryRepo,
	secondaryBranch: 'master',
	).trim());

Since we hardcode master as both the primary and secondary repo branches, it will fail for repos that have only a main branch and no master, such as flutter/cocoon.

See example failure here:
https://logs.chromium.org/logs/flutter/buildbucket/cr-buildbucket/8797370543676737825/+/u/Customer_testing/customer_testing/test_stderr

Related, but we should probably fail whichever tools are using find_commit.dart if the lookup fails. In the log above it looks like even though the lookup fails, we continue on and run the tests anyway:

git -C ../../bin/cache/pkg/tests checkout
dart --enable-asserts run_tests.dart

Note the lack of SHA in the checkout command, which I presume is meant to be there.

@HansMuller Can you reassign this please?

[HansMuller]

@ricardoamador - not my area

@godofredoc - this issue is preventing us from landing an approved and time-critical PR

[jmagman]

The find_commit logic is old, and hasn't cocoon been missing a master branch for awhile?

Are you sure the real failure isn't the new analysis issues coming from flutter_cocoon?

When I run it locally on this PR I also see these, which definitely look related to #113894 (the PR where this is failing).

Right and thanks for tracking down the root of the problem! The actual problem is a simple one. The original error logs, https://logs.chromium.org/logs/flutter/buildbucket/cr-buildbucket/8797303295761259729/+/u/Customer_testing/customer_testing/test_stdout, completely obscure the problem:

Regarding the git log error in find_commit.dart, we tried fixing it with #119648 . The fix worked in most of the scenarios, but would fail in certain situations (e.g. check runs of #119384) due to possible luci git behavior. The luci git behavior was discussed in https://chat.google.com/room/AAAAc_4rqiI/_k6gi9syHTY and the conclusion was that, we cannot rely on the output of git commands in luci to find out the current branch.

It seems like the root cause of the failure was identified and solved in flutter/cocoon#2313 now?

[ricardoamador]

@XilaiZhang is this still happening?

[XilaiZhang]

Re-reading this thread. It seems like the proposed fix landed in #119648 but it is impossible to handle all scenarios (due to systematic error of luci git)?
