npm run build fails when nmetadata are missing

[wagnbeu0]

Have you read the Contributing Guidelines on issues?

• I have read the Contributing Guidelines on issues.

Prerequisites

• I'm using the latest version of Docusaurus.
• I have tried the npm run clear or yarn clear command.
• I have tried rm -rf node_modules yarn.lock package-lock.json and re-installing packages.
• I have tried creating a repro with https://new.docusaurus.io.
• I have read the console error message carefully (if applicable).

Description

Hi, I have a git repository as source for my webpage. with docusaurus 3.1 I get a warning:

[WARNING] Error: Failed to retrieve the git history for file "/opt/ARTOPS_DOKU/docs/tutorial-extras/translate-your-site.md" with exit code 128: fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /opt)
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

Now I updates to 3.2.1 and the build os now aborting:

[INFO] [en] Creating an optimized production build...
[ERROR] Loading of version failed for version current

[ERROR] Error: Unable to build website for locale en.

...

What can I do to enable the build again? I think problem is caused by the following parameters:

      showLastUpdateAuthor: true,
      showLastUpdateTime: true,

Reproducible demo

No response

Steps to reproduce

Docusaurus is installed under /opt/ARTOPS_DOKU. A git Repo is cloned to /opt/ARTOPS_DOKU/docu/Doku. In /opt/ARTOPS_DOKU/docu the efault files from docusaurus are located.
When running npm run build docusaurus 3.2.1 is aborting.

Expected behavior

Behaviour from all version up to 3.1.1:
All files are searched for last modified user and last modified time. Then the webpages are created. If a file has not git information, a warning is reported, but the webpage is build.

Actual behavior

New behaviour since 3.2.1:
All files are searched for last modified user and last modified time. But the webpages are created, If a file has not git information, because a warning is reported and the buold is aborted.

Your environment

• Public source code: no
• Public site URL: internal
• Docusaurus version used: 3.2.1
• Environment name and version (e.g. Chrome 89, Node.js 16.4): nodejs16
• Operating system and version (e.g. Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS): RedHat 8

Self-service

• I'd be willing to fix this bug myself.

Indeed this is caused by the two options, I'm not sure if we changed the internal behavior in version 3.2.1

      showLastUpdateAuthor: true,
      showLastUpdateTime: true,

Docusaurus is installed under /opt/ARTOPS_DOKU. A git Repo is cloned to /opt/ARTOPS_DOKU/docu/Doku

I'm not sure to understand correctly what you mean by Docusaurus is installed in ARTOPS_DOKU and then a git repo is cloned to ARTOPS_DOKU/docu/Doku

Meanwhile you can disable the two options

[wagnbeu0]

Hi, I installed Docusaurus there:

cd /opt/
npx create-docusaurus@latest ARTOPS_DOKU classic

Later I cloned my documentation repo into a subfolder:

mkdir /opt/ARTOPS_DOKU/docs/Docu
git clone https://my-git-servert/reponame /opt/ARTOPS_DOKU/docs/Docu

[slorber]

These options require Git indeed.

If you don't use Git you should turn them off. If you use Git, double-check your setup.

We run git log on your docs files, so if it already doesn't work outside of Docusaurus by running manual commands, it won't work better inside Docusaurus. Use the Git error messages to troubleshoot that outside Docusaurus.

Also closing because we need a repro to troubleshoot problems, and no repro was provided

we are getting this error when using git

@sibelius are you able to run git log on the file?

Are you manipulating it through other processes at the same time?

Can you try to apply a patch like this locally and see if it solves the problem?
#10354
