Make commands fails

Build Environment
1

from a few hour ago, make commands start failing

(cd vagrant; make install)

(cd vagrant; make install) returned exit code 2

make: *** [vagrant_1.8.1_x86_64.deb] Error 1 Action failed: (cd vagrant; make install)

The same repo was working until a few hours ago and if we ssh to the build firm, we can run make command; did something has changed?

It looks like you’ve had a bunch of successful builds since this, were you able to figure this out? If so, can you post the solution here?

I had put

  environment:
    MAKEFLAGS: "-i"

on the circleci.yml to avoid this problem, but make command itself still fails to run internally…

4

Can you try to run this build manually with ssh[1] and see if you can get any additional logging?

strangely, from ssh, make did not fail

Strange, could you describe what this step is doing? :slight_smile: @FelicianoTech I know how much you love Vagrant, any ideas here?

Ok, i have created small example to reproduce this problem see https://circleci.com/gh/k-okada/circleci-make-test/15, and we could not reproduce them on my local machine nor ssh environment.
