Hi,

@6543

Thank you so much !

To try it I need to build the Woodpecker server image with this patch using https://woodpecker-ci.org/docs/development/getting-started
is that it?

As a reminder, we are not devs but infrastructure people

[pat-s]

You can use the tag pull_4286.

@cduchenoy that's what build_pr_image lable is for :)

server image
agent image

@cduchenoy did you had time to test it?

[cduchenoy]

Hi,

Sorry but I haven't been able to test yet

It is in production at our customer and testing is complicated

We are in the process of migrating our old gitea/drone stack to the forgejo/woodpecker couple

Once the infrastructure is finalized (well advanced :)) we will be able to test because our infrastructure and no longer that of a customer

We are also preparing the expected PRs and a teams notification plugin

[cduchenoy]

Hi,

I was finally able to test it works!

I had to create the agent for Windows with the patch because I had a grpc version mismatch error

The Windows docker image windows-agent can be found on docker-hub:

docker pull gecoit84/woodpecker-agent:pull_4286

Do you think you can apply the same fix for the steps command?

Indeed, for the pipeline to work you must add the parameter

...
workspace:
  base: C:\tmp

Without that

[6543]

I just had an idea witch would not require an heuristic: why not prepend C:\ directly in the docker backend if the backend itselve detects windows as an host ... 🤔 (and no letter was already added...)

[cduchenoy]

Yes it's the solution 👍

[6543]

@cduchenoy ok you might have a look at #4381 ... through I have windows container now running and might do actual testing with woodpecker on my end too now :)
