What does this PR do?
This PR ensures the right value for
HOME
environment is set during Pygit2 remote initialization, otherwise there are chances that it gets a wrong value depending on the execution stack.Upstream PR: saltstack/salt#67186
Previous Behavior
The previous way of setting the HOME value for pygit2 gitfs remotes was done at
_fetch
function, there are chances, i.a. when fetching a non-existing branch, thatHOME
value gets wrongly replaced by/root/
in the corresponding MWorker, leading to errors like:_pygit2.GitError: /var/cache/salt/master/git_pillar/xxxxx/master: failed to stat '/root/.gitconfig'
This error starts happening randomly until all the MWorker processes get the
HOME
value polluted and therefore leading always to get this exception when fetching from the gitfs remote.New Behavior
The right value is set for
HOME
environment:/var/lib/salt/
, and the value gets preserved on the MWorker processes even if there are exceptions fetching non-existing remotes.Merge requirements satisfied?
[NOTICE] Bug fixes or features added to Salt require tests.
