commitInfo() no longer returns credentials in remote, and on CI it can read a repository that git refuses because another user owns it. Every other value is the same as 1.1.0.

  • remote has no user name or password. A GitLab job token in the remote URL used to reach the Currents API and the DEBUG=commit-info output. removeCredentials is exported.
  • On CI, when git fails with "dubious ownership" (a Docker job running as root on a checkout owned by another user), the read-only git commands run again with -c safe.directory=*. Fetches are never retried. Today such jobs get null message, author and email.
    • CI means CI is set, or a CI provider is detected from build variables. Jenkins counts through JENKINS_URL; GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT, GCP_PROJECT, GCLOUD_PROJECT and JENKINS_HOME alone don't, because developers often have them in their shell.
    • git 2.35.2 to 2.37.x ignore safe.directory on the command line, so the retry does nothing there.
  • git runs without a shell.
  • New exports getCiCommitInfo and detectCiProvider read the commit from CI provider variables. commitInfo() doesn't use them yet; feat!: fill commitInfo from CI variables and release 2.0.0 #13 does.
  • README: the package name is @currents/commit-info.

No version bump here; 2.0.0 is released from #13.

Verification

  • npm test: 105 passing, also on Node 16.20.2 and with CI=true GITHUB_ACTIONS=true. npm run lint, deps and size pass.
  • Compared with master in 12 scenarios (repo, detached, no repo, COMMIT_INFO_*, GitHub/GitLab/Azure variables, dubious ownership with and without CI, git missing): the only differences are credentials removed from remote and repositories read under dubious ownership on CI.
  • Not tested: Windows, Linux git 2.35.2 to 2.37.x.

Same behavior as removeAuthFromGitUrl in the Currents server: keeps the
port and scp-style SSH remotes, handles a password that contains @.

getCiCommitInfo() returns the sha, branch, message, author, email and
remote that the CI provider's variables hold, with the same variables the
Currents Playwright reporter reads. The remote has no credentials:
GitLab's CI_REPOSITORY_URL holds the job token. detectCiProvider() returns
the provider name.

On Semaphore the remote is the clone URL in SEMAPHORE_GIT_URL. The
reporter reads SEMAPHORE_GIT_REPO_SLUG (owner/repo), which the Currents
server cannot build commit links from. On Bamboo the remote is
bamboo_planRepository_repositoryUrl, the variable Bamboo sets; the
reporter reads bamboo_planRepository_repositoryURL, which is never set.

commitInfo() does not use these values yet.

…rship

The remote from git and from COMMIT_INFO_REMOTE has no user name or
password. git's output is cleaned before the debug line that prints it;
with DEBUG=commit-info that line printed GitLab job tokens.

git runs without a shell. On CI, read-only git commands that fail with
"dubious ownership" run again with -c safe.directory=*, and an empty
remote is read again the same way. CI means CI is set or a CI provider
is detected, because Jenkins does not set CI. GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT,
GCP_PROJECT, GCLOUD_PROJECT and JENKINS_HOME do not count: developers
often have them set in their shell. The pull request head fetch is not
retried.

commitInfo() returns the same values as 1.1.0, apart from the remote
credentials and the repositories it can now read on CI.

Baz Summary

Protect commit metadata by redacting credentials from remotes, environment values, debug logs, and Git errors, while replacing shell-based Git execution with argument-safe commands. Add CI provider detection and metadata extraction, and make read-only Git operations recover from dubious repository ownership in CI without retrying fetches.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The package adds CI provider detection and CI-derived commit metadata. It also adds credential redaction and shared Git execution that can retry read-only commands after ownership errors on CI. Git metadata and pull-request fetch paths use the shared execution utilities.

Changes

Commit metadata and Git execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential redaction
src/remove-credentials.js, src/remove-credentials-spec.js
Adds helpers that remove URL credentials or redact credentials in text. Tests cover URL forms, inputs, and messages.
CI provider detection and commit fields
src/ci-provider.js, src/ci.js, src/ci-spec.js
Adds ordered CI provider detection and mappings from provider environment variables to commit fields. Missing fields are null.
Shared Git execution and ownership retry
src/run-git.js, src/run-git-spec.js, README.md
Adds CI detection, Git ownership-error handling, and safe-directory retries for eligible read-only commands. Tests and documentation cover the conditions and Git version limitation.
Git metadata and public API integration
src/git-api.js, src/git-api-spec.js, src/pull-request-head.js, src/pull-request-head-spec.js, src/index.js, src/commit-info-repos-spec.js, src/commit-info-spec.js, __snapshots__/commit-info-spec.js, README.md
Uses shared Git execution for metadata reads and pull-request fetches. Sanitizes remote values and error output, exports the new helpers, and updates API documentation and tests.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0e5c3

The CI test run is failing, and scp-style remotes can still expose usernames in returned metadata. Isolate Git configuration in the ownership tests and correct remote redaction before merging.

Isolate Git config in the ownership-retry test.

If global or system config contains safe.directory=*, this test can pass without exercising the retry. Disable those config sources for this test.

The GitHub Actions runner's global git config marks the test repositories as
safe, so git never reported dubious ownership there and the tests that expect
it failed on CI.
