Rancher Desktop UNIX_PATH_MAX Error

in

When trying to start Rancher Desktop on a Mac, I was running into this error:

must be less than UNIX_PATH_MAX=1XX characers, but is 1XX

As my machine was a managed device I couldn’t update any of the account / path information. I did however find the following workaround. You’ll need to move and link the lima home directory to ~/.rdlima:

$ mv ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima ~/.rdlima
$ ln -s ~/.rdlima ~/Library/Application\ Support/rancher-desktop/lima

I was having this issue with a Rancher Desktop version as recent as 1.16.0 (1.16.0). I’m hoping the good folks at SUSE get this to automatically adjust in future releases.

GitLab CI Warning: "git": executable file not found in $PATH

in 
WARNING: current commit information was not captured by the build: git was not found in the system: exec: "git": executable file not found in $PATH

I saw this WARNING sail by while I was watching a Docker build process run on my GitLab CI pipeline. The build wasn’t failing but wasn’t completing cleanly. The GitLab runner image being used for this pipeline was:

image: python:3.9-slim

The solve came after a bit of experimentation and found that I needed to edit my .gitlab-ci.yml file to include the following:

before_script:
  - apk add --update --no-cache git

That edit solved the Warning and cleaned up the pipeline. Noted.

GoLand: File is not `goimports`-ed (goimports)

in

Had a bit of a head scratcher when I was linting my Go code with golangci-lint. I was getting the following error:

File is not `goimports`-ed (goimports)

After checking for formatting errors (tabs v spaces) and running fmt I found this setting in GoLand which solved the issue (it reorganizes your import section).

All you need to do is set the Sorting type to goimports and you’ll be golden.
