Error when using Action: Pipenv is not intended to work under the root directory, please choose another path

[bengry]

In the past 24 hours or so there's been an error when trying to run the Action:

This of course fails the whole workflow.

Here are the raw logs for both steps that benjefferies/branch-protection-bot@1.0.2 is part of:
2_Build benjefferiesbranch-protection-bot@1.0.2.txt
11_Enable include administrators branch protection.txt

The error seems to be this:

2020-05-28T07:18:48.8729872Z �[91mERROR: Pipenv is not intended to work under the root directory, please choose another path.
2020-05-28T07:18:49.0731624Z The command '/bin/sh -c PIP_USER=1 PIP_IGNORE_INSTALLED=1 pipenv install --system --deploy --ignore-pipfile' returned a non-zero code: 1

Same problem for me too. When I try to build Dockerfile at local, same situation.

Seems to be related to the release of a new version of pipenv a few hours ago. Changing the Dockerfile to install the previous version seems to have fixed worked around it:

diff --git a/Dockerfile b/Dockerfile

     apt-get install -y git

I don't know the Python ecosystem enough to tell if the new version just surfaced an issue that was previously just ignored though. Better if someone could look into changing the problematic line, so this Action can keep using the latest version of pipenv .

Adding WORKDIR to the Dockerfile makes it so it finishes the build, but needs more investigation as these warnings pop up that don't look too healthy

@bengry maybe you can create a pull request for your workaround?

I don't really like my workaround for not using the latest package. Let's see if @benjefferies has anything to say here.

In the meantime I forked the repo (and added the workaround) for my use of it, but I don't think it should be merged back to this repo as-is.

Good work with the investigation. It's a good chance it could have something to do with the latest version of pipenv being pushed. I can pin the pipenv version to unblock you guys for now and look at it this evening

[benjefferies]

That's merged and fixed now guys. I will take a look at what's changed in the latest pipenv that's causing these warnings

I can confirm the workaround is doing it's job! :)

Thanks. Please create a tag for the latest master so we can use it with a pinned version of the repo.

thanks @benjefferies !

Ah, you reminded me of something I meant to do before getting caught up looking at the issue 👍. Done https://github.com/benjefferies/branch-protection-bot/releases/tag/1.0.3

I've raised a PR with these changes and followed up this issue with pipenv. Once it's resolved I'll merge
