docker build error

[osrf-migration]

Original report (archived issue) by dan (Bitbucket: dan77062).

---

About one out of every three or four builds, docker fails to build with this CMake error. If I just rerun the build command again, with no changes to the Dockerfile or the repo, it then builds OK. A stackoverflow thread gives some hints on what is going on, but not enough to figure it out. This is particularly bad with cloudsim, because with only VPN there is no way to know if the docker image built successfully and whether or not we are ready to start the container.

Which dockerfile is being built when this issue occurs? What is the command being used to build the image?

May I have the output of sudo docker info from the machine that was building the dockerfile that produced the Text file busy error?

If a team is having an intermittent docker build issue that always occurs in the same place, they can try adding sync to the RUN command prior to the command that fails with Text file busy.

I'm assuming this is an issue with building a team's field computer docker image using the src_deploy.bash script in cloudsim-sim. Since @dan77062 reported the issue happens intermittently I added a pull request to retry building the team's docker image up to 5 times in this pull request

Text file busy is probably ETXTBSY which happens when one attempts to write to a file that is being executed. There are reports of this happening in docker files: here where executing file after running chmod, here with mention of an AUFS issue. There's also discussion about chmod in aufs and a race condition leading to ETXTBSY on the aufs mailing list.
