fix: Handle GitHub API rate limiting - #1024
JH-lawliet wants to merge 14 commits into
Conversation
Rate-limited 403 responses were treated as release data: curl lacked -f,
so the paginated lookup burned up to 20 API calls and reported a misleading
not-found error. GitHub empty pages are pretty-printed "[\n\n]", which the
byte-exact "[]" check never matched; pagination now stops on any blank
array. Multi-MB bodies no longer use ${var//[[:space:]]/} (bash pattern
substitution), which hung on real responses; an anchored regex checks for
an empty page instead.
Fixes antonbabenko#1023

Release lookup and download handling tools/install/_common.sh, tests/pytest/terragrunt_installer_test.py |
GitHub API requests now check HTTP status and transport errors. Release lookup handles whitespace in empty pages and reports when no asset matches. Downloads report failures. Tests cover these cases and successful downloads. |

Explanation
[
#1023] Requirements: (1) the pinned-version page loop must stop on an empty page, including GitHub's pretty-printed form; (2) rate-limited responses must abort with a distinct error that names GITHUB_TOKEN; (3) the installer must not spend further API requests after such a failure.Evidence at the reviewed head, tools/install/_common.sh: common::gh_api_get separates the body from the HTTP code written by -w. It exits 1 with a rate-limit diagnostic for HTTP 429, and for HTTP 403 whose lowercased body matches 'rate limit'. That diagnostic names GITHUB_TOKEN. Other non-200 codes exit 1 with an HTTP-status error. curl failures exit 1 with a transport error. common::install_from_gh_release calls gh_api_get once per page. It breaks on the anchored regex ^[[:space:]][[[:space:]]][[:space:]]*$, which matches both '[]' and '[\n\n]'. The not-found diagnostic is reached only after a real empty page or the page limit.
Evidence at the reviewed head, tests/pytest/terragrunt_installer_test.py: API failure cases (403 rate limit in several cases, 429, 403 access denied, 404, 502, transport error) each assert exit 1, one recorded request, the expected diagnostic, and the GITHUB_TOKEN hint only for rate-limit errors. Compact and pretty-printed empty pages each stop pagination after the second request. Pinned and latest installs download the asset from the listed URL.
No concrete unmet coding requirement is established. The author-reported pytest, pre-commit, and live API results are not verified here.

Explanation
Changes reviewed against
#1023:- Logging helper sourcing in tools/install/_common.sh, with the matching Dockerfile copy and .dockerignore unignore entry (per the raw summary). This supplies common::colorify, which gh_api_get uses for its diagnostics. The link is direct.
- common::gh_api_get and the anchored empty-page regex. These implement the
#1023requirements directly. - Download step in common::install_from_gh_release: curl now runs with -f, and a failed download exits 1 with a named error. This is in the same release-install function and addresses error payloads entering the install path. It is adjacent to
#1023but is not a required objective. It is not unrelated. - Unknown DISTRIBUTED_AS message uses common::colorify. This is a small consistency change that uses the same helper.
- tests/pytest/terragrunt_installer_test.py. Tests cover API failures, pagination, and asset download for the changed code.
No unrelated change is established. Dockerfile and .dockerignore were not read in full. Their assessment relies on the one-line change summaries in the raw summary.

CodeRabbit flagged that every 403 was reported as a rate limit, but GitHub also returns 403 for permission and SSO failures, where telling the user to set GITHUB_TOKEN is misleading (they may already have one). Keep 429 and 403s whose body mentions "rate limit" on the rate-limit diagnostic; report any other 403 as a generic access denied HTTP error. Assisted-by: opencode:mimo-v2.6-flash-free opencode

Appreciate the contribution.
Please consider my comments below.
Apply @yermulnik's review on the rate-limit handling: compare HTTP codes numerically (-eq/-ne), fold the 403 rate-limit check into the [[ ]] condition with tr instead of a grep pipeline, reword the GITHUB_TOKEN hint, report Forbidden instead of access denied, drop the redundant empty_page_re variable, and capitalize Failed. Route every touched diagnostic through common::colorify (copied from hooks/_common.sh; install scripts are standalone and cannot source the hooks copy): errors red, the rate-limit hint yellow.

Appreciate your time @JH-lawliet and apologies for the confusion I introduced in previous round of review.
The feature LGTM though.
@MaxymVlasov Would you please join the review when you have a chance? Thanks.
The tools/install is not interactive human-facing output, so the colorify wrapper is reverted to plain echo (stderr preserved). The message wording and -eq/-ne comparisons from the earlier review round are kept. Also applies two more review nits: move '|| true' outside the command substitution, and use '[[ ! $asset_url ]]' instead of -z. Assisted-by: opencode:mimo-v2.6-flash-free opencode

Source common::colorify from hooks/_logging.sh (extracted in antonbabenko#1026) instead of plain echo: errors in red, GITHUB_TOKEN hint in yellow.

What
This section was generated by AI.
common::gh_api_gettotools/install/_common.sh: it reads the HTTP status alongside the body and fails fast instead of feeding error payloads into the release-page loop — HTTP 429, and HTTP 403 whose body confirms rate limiting, get a rate-limit error that points atGITHUB_TOKEN; any other HTTP 403 is reported as a generic access denied failure; remaining non-200 responses and curl failures become explicit HTTP/transport errors.[\n\n]— the byte-exact[]check never fired, so every lookup burned the full 20 pages.${var//[[:space:]]/}full-body whitespace strip (which stalls on multi-MB release pages) with an anchored empty-page regex.Why
Rate-limited 403 responses were treated as release data: curl lacked -f,
so the paginated lookup burned up to 20 API calls and reported a misleading
not-found error. This change handles the GitHub Rate-limited error scenario: fail fast with an error pointing at GITHUB_TOKEN instead of burning the remaining quota and throwing a misleading not-found error.
