[Bug] envinfo hang on node:alpine

[gengjiawen]

docker run -it node:alpine /bin/sh
npm i -g envinfo && envinfo

Interestingly, it does output if you hit ^C

$ docker run -it node:alpine npx envinfo
npx: installed 1 in 1.353s
^C
  System:
    OS: Linux 4.9 Alpine Linux undefined
    CPU: (6) x64 Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8750H CPU @ 2.20GHz
    Memory: 316.87 MB / 1.95 GB
    Container: Yes
    Shell: Unknown - /bin/ash
  Binaries:
    Node: 11.6.0 - /usr/local/bin/node
    Yarn: 1.12.3 - /usr/local/bin/yarn
    npm: 6.5.0-next.0 - /usr/local/bin/npm

It does hang up until hitting ^C, though. And running it from /bin/sh within the image doesn't output even after ^C. I have no idea why...

Looking into this now.

using docker run -it -e ENVINFO_DEBUG=trace node:8 npx envinfo I found the issue.

getShellInfo is hanging, possibly because of the type of shell - /bin/ash.

Working on a fix.

@tabrindle This occurred again, can you reopen this ?

[tabrindle]

confirmed.

@tabrindle it looks like the work you did to fix this bug got reverted at some point. I'll work on a PR adding it back soon!

[ryhinchey]

this issue can be closed given #147 got merged

I guess the Alpine Linux tests were removed again in Feb 2024?

• fix: delete old CI #247 (comment)

[karlhorky]

It seems like envinfo is hanging again on Alpine Linux (I could also confirm this myself):

• envinfo command hangs on Alpine Linux  #266

@gengjiawen @tabrindle should this issue (#81) be reopened or should it be continued in #266?
