subprocess.Popen issues with pypy actions

[olliemath]

Description:

Calling import venv; venv.create("venv", with_pip=True) fails for the pypy actions, but not for cpython or for manually (via apt) installed pypy binaries.

Specifically the subprocess.Popen step of that command fails (although it succeeds outside of the venv

Action version:
v5

Platform:

• Ubuntu

Runner type:

• Hosted

Tools version:
pypy 3.9 and 3.10

Repro steps:

See the yaml in this repo: https://github.com/olliemath/actions-example/blob/main/.github/workflows/ci.yml

Here is an example of the passing/failing jobs: https://github.com/olliemath/actions-example/actions/runs/7349327941

Expected behavior:

Expected the subprocess.Popen command to work as expected during the "ensurepip" phase of venv creation.

Actual behavior:

The subprocess.Popen exits with status code 127

I think this may be caused by https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/issues/4019 which should be fixed in PyPy 7.3.14 released 3 days ago (your log is still showing 7.3.13). I would guess this will be fixed on GHA when that version is cached in the next ubuntu-latest image.

Ah, thanks - that's helpful - I guess my finding it coincided with the version in apt being newer than the version in the actions. I'll keep this open until 7.3.14 makes it into ubuntu-latest and if that works will close

Hello @olliemath, PyPy version 7.3.14 is updated in the ubuntu-latest PR. It will be available once the PR is merged to main branch.

Hi @olliemath, The issue is resolved with the version PyPy 7.3.14 which is default in the ubuntu-latest. I am closing the issue. Let us know if you still find the issue unresolved.
