Problems with FPM and updating a PR

[wclodius2]

I have submitted a PR for hash functions and pushed my initial code a couple of weeks ago with no problems. I then found some problems with a module and pushed the correction. This led to a message with the header "[wclodius2/stdlib] Run failed: fpm-deployment - hash_functions (7be16f3)". The error report is for
Install fpm latest release

with the detailed message

Error: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received type undefined

It looks like FPM has become required since the initial push. I can see three issues in the error report:

1. It is unable to find the specified version of fpm at the specified path.
2. The specified version is for Linux while I do development in MacOSX.
3. The path argument is not specified to be a string (although it seems to show a path in the report)

What can I do to fix it on my end? Is there something that needs to be fixed in the use of fpm by the repository?

You can fix it for now by pinning to a specific version (fpm-version: v0.4.0), which I would recommend rather than relying on the latest.

Where do I look to find out how to pin to a specific version?

[awvwgk]

I opened #558 to pin fpm to version 0.4.0 in the testing.

[wclodius2]

Will that automatically start testing for my PR or is there something else I have to do?

You would have to cherry-pick the commit, merge back the default branch or rebase your branch once the patch is merged.
