build-push-action: GAR error "cannot reuse body, request must be retried"

Hi, I’ve been struggling with this problem and the only solution I’ve found is to add a label in docker buildx command. Example:

docker --context $DOCKER_CONTEXT buildx build  --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 -t $CONTAINER_BASE_IMAGE --push --label "git-commit=$CI_COMMIT_SHA" .

In my case I was having the problem in 2 different pipelines that didn’t touch the docker build context. (first one worked and second one failed)

Maybe you’ll need to change CI_COMMIT_SHA to something like a timestamp.

Hope this helps!

Happened just now, “Re run all jobs” is good enough

I also see this with Gituhub container archive, so it’s not just google; also on about 50% of runs. We are adding labels with the docker/metadata-action@v3 and it’s no help; I made sure to craft a label that guarantees uniqueness in case it’s some sort of collision.

Another workaround for this is adding labels with timestamps using docker’s metadata-action https://github.com/docker/metadata-action
