Error: When building cache: file tree has path errors

[SuperJC710e]

Hi, thanks for the project. I just built the latest git from source (needed to do so to overcome another issue) and I'm still getting another error. Like this:

Building cache...

I recently added more aggressive error checking witch is probably why you are seeing this. Do you have a public docker image or a dockerfile to reproduce this?

Hi @wagoodman sorry for the delay.

I do not have a public image of my lightly modified version, but I was working on a image based on this: binhex/arch-delugevpn. I was trying to see why the image was turning out so large. (I was adding a python application called flexget to the image.)

That said, I do have a private repo of it hosted on gitlab, I could give you an invite should you wish.

It appears that 2793e4c1aab8b47968fa43c136926f1efd32e1cea4c690d4e8f3493949dec99d/layer.tar attempts to remove a file that doesn't exist in lower layers (.dockerenv) by providing a whiteout file (.wh..dockerenv). It seems that there may be something wrong with the tar as well:

❯ tar -xvf layer.tar
...
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors.

I'll add a --ignore-errors option to dive such that it will do a "best effort" in trying to show the UI and analysis results even if problems like these arise.

i'm experiencing the same thing

The --ignore-errors CLI option and config setting has been merged, once v0.10.0 is release you should be able to get around images with parse issues.

no v0.10.0 yet?
