Scenario

You are using sourcegraph with colima instead of docker desktop and get an error like below while executing batch changes

Creating workspace: preparing local git repo: preparing workspace: Docker output:

 docker: Error response from daemon: invalid mount config for type "bind": bind source path does not exist: /tmp/src-run-1234.

   See 'docker run --help'.: exit status 125

   Log: /tmp/changeset-gitlab.example.com-go-41245abcd.log

This is due to how Colima mounts temp directory which doesn’t work with batch changes.

Fix

To fix this:

1) Shell into the system you are running batch changes using src and set src_batch_tmp_dir to point to tmp directory for Colima

user$ export SRC_BATCH_TMP_DIR=/tmp/colima/batchchange

2) Run the batch changes again with parameter -“cache” passing SRC_BATCH_TMP_DIR like below

user$ src batch preview -f test.yaml - cache $SRC_BATCH_TMP_DIR

This should fix the mount issue and batch changes should run fine from the command line using src.
