I have the same problem as described here: Local Checkout fails using CLI, tar terminates with signal 13

I’m running circleci local execute with a volume pointing to a current directory, which is a git repo (contains .git directory)

version:

    $ circleci version
    0.1.7645+5b80b52 (homebrew)

command:

    $ circleci local execute -v $(pwd):/root/repo --job build

logs:

$ circleci local execute -v $(pwd):/root/repo --job build

Hi Folex,

I tried to reproduce this issue, but couldn’t. I am able to run without any issues. Could you please try removing “-v $(pwd):/root/repo” and see if it is working.

Below is my test result:

$ circleci local execute -v $(pwd):/root/repo --job build

Please let me know how it goes.

Hi! Thanks for a quick response!

Yes, it is working without a volume. I think that’s because without a volume there are no files in the ~/repo directory. The error happens when tar is ran on files in the ~/repo. AFAIU, no volume => no files => no xargs tar => no error.

The reason why I need a volume is to cache node_modules directory.

I will try to repro it again.

Hi,

We have a new version, could you please update the CLI and then try. Also, could you please confirm this used to work earlier for you?
