fix: fallback to guessing repo root in config.py - #742
Merged
Conversation
We made the repo root detection smarter by using util/vcs.py to search for the `.git` directory. However, this broke a MacOS build task in Gecko CI because no `.git` directory exists. I'm not entirely sure why that happens, as the Taskgraph command still needs to run from the repo root. Ay any rate, this patch re-adds the old logic as a fallback in the event util/vcs.py wasn't able to detect the repo.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This seems like a fine workaround for now...let's make sure we have something on file for investigation later though, considering how annoying it was to debug.
