Failed to publish feature to ghcr.io

[tiwaojo]

Hello, I was presented with the following error message while trying to publish a minor update of my feature to ghcr.io repository through the devcontainer/action. My logs for my run can be found here. Moreover, the same behaviour was observed while running the following commands in the terminal.

devcontainer features publish -r ghcr.io -n tiwaojo/features ./src

I could confirm the output exists by navigating to the path. I also tried changing the feature version but received the same error message nonetheless.

Currently using @devcontainers/cli 0.58.0. Node.js v18.19.1. through a dev container on WSL.

Hi 👋

@tiwaojo By looking at https://github.com/tiwaojo/features/blob/main/src/mcap/devcontainer-feature.json#L3, it doesn't look correct. The Feature id should match with the folder name. Can you update and retest?

I agree this mismatch here is likely the issue. The implementation will traverse the 'src' folder in this instance and is probably still using that identifier in place of the devcontainer-feature.json's id. We can likely harden that in the implementation to provide a better error

Hey @samruddhikhandale @joshspicer,

Thanks for catching my error. My release action now passes. And yes, a better error message will certainly be helpful.

[joshspicer]

Glad that helped! Agreed, i'll put up a PR to add a more helpful error. Reworking the commands to have a single source of truth is potentially more work than its worth, but i'll take a look there too.

I've put up #797 to report this better in the future. Thanks for raising!
