You're getting an error produced by two different issues colliding. (1) you used a feature branch name (2) action/checkout appears to leave a directory where git clone performing the same action does not. (2) is attempting to compensate for (1). I can revert (2) but we'll still have an issue or I can look into whether I can detect the failure to execute the step correctly and perform filesystem cleanup

I'll look into cleanup tonight

I made a PR from my own origin to a feature branch as usual, so I'd like to figure out how to improve that process -- thanks for the quick response, and can address in the coming days!

yeah, a decision a few months ago that would disable the use of feature branches was implemented with error and that error only fixed recently.

upon fixing that, I worked out a way to reinstate them without significant failure to the CI process. put that in earlier today, and we're hitting an edge case I was looking to test.

turns out, not so edge

looks like there's an easy enough fix. will try to get it in within the next hour

Fair enough, just let me know what I need to do at some point in the coming days -- no rush 🙏

of course, gates... so i might have a pr for your repo

you can try the head of pmienk/libbitcoin-build - gotta validate the path's right. otherwise, i'll sync your changes for my own testbed

Either way, can try on my side

got it going here: https://github.com/pmienk/libbitcoin-explorer/actions/runs/35421536174

well, queued. fingers crossed the removal cleanup zeros the directory and the script performs proper clone

🙏 Testing locally currently

locally, should have worked either way - the error was a CI sourcing issue

well... unless there's something else going on as well.

lemme know if something goes wrong with the plain old script

I think I failed already? github.com/libbitcoin/libbitcoin-explorer/…/105840586822?pr=757

thanks, yep - pathing issue - will fix. think i can just strip working-directory as I fully qualified the removal path

github.com/pmienk/libbitcoin-explorer/…/105841490320 Looks like it got past -system clone

so yeah, strike working-directory and it looks like it'll sing

updated pmienk/libbitcoin-build

huh, still pushing into a missing obj dir on cmake

my bad, fixing

now fixed and building system

should be noted - using a feature branch <feature name> will build off thecodefactory/<repo>/<feature name> when available but fallback to libbitcoin/<repo>/master instead of thecodefactory/<repo>/master

Thanks for looking at this -- everything built properly!
