ERR_PNPM_FILTER_CHANGED - false positive, breaks ci

[tomdavidson]

pnpm version:

7.12.2

Code to reproduce the issue:

pnpm --filter-prod="...[main]" test:e2e

Expected behavior:

Expected to execute the run script, test:e2e, in each workspace that has has changed compared to a common ancestor node with the main branch, as well as workspace that are dependent on the change.

Actual behavior:

Filtering workspace packages based on what has changed in a GitHub workflow fails:

Run pnpm --filter-prod "...[main]" test:e2e
  pnpm --filter-prod "...[main]" test:e2e
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
  env:
    BRANCH_NAME: chromatic
    TARGET_BRANCH_NAME: main
    PNPM_HOME: /home/runner/setup-pnpm/node_modules/.bin
 ERR_PNPM_FILTER_CHANGED  Filtering by changed packages failed. fatal: bad revision 'main'
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

Additional information:

I can not find docs on  ERR_PNPM_FILTER_CHANGED and opened issue for the website.

But this test case provides a description of what is being tested when that error is expected, 'selection should fail when diffing to a branch that does not exist'

The 'main' branch absolutely does exist.

• node -v prints: v18.8.0
• Windows, macOS, or Linux?: Linux

Here is the source code about the test case. The error comes up while the branch doesn't exist.

Im not sure why I am getting this error from git. Im expecting pnpm --filter-prod="[main]" to give me packages/ui would this no such file or directory bork pnpm ?

$ git diff --name-only main..HEAD 
error: cannot run delta: No such file or directory

I'm having exactly the same problem.

I'm trying to run my pipeline in a monorepo where I just want folders inside packages/** to run command publish if something changed since [origin/master].

pnpm --filter "{packages/**}[origin/master]" publish --publish-branch master --no-git-checks

but it fails with:

ERR_PNPM_FILTER_CHANGED  Filtering by changed packages failed. 
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

I'm also seeing this problem. Same exact situation as @jalbertsr.

I'm also seeing this problem.

ERR_PNPM_FILTER_CHANGED  Filtering by changed packages failed. fatal: bad revision 'origin/main'

PS: This problem only found in Gitlab CI environment. I used this [since] filtering feature in local successfully.

Finally, i solved this problem.

actions/checkout#118 (comment)

Just need to fetch git branch manually at first.

git fetch --no-tags --prune --depth=1 origin +refs/heads/main:refs/remotes/origin/main
pnpm -r --filter "...[origin/main]" run --if-present build

I guess that in the CI environment, the logic of Git's pulling and fetching may be different from local development.
