Astro deploy crashes - `panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference`

Astro CLI

Hello, just installed astronomer and wanted to try to deploy my first DAG to airflow(almost example from ‘astro dev init’ files). Image works locally (with astro dev start).
And I got:

$ astro deploy
Authenticated to xxx.yyy.astronomer.io 

Select which airflow deployment you want to deploy to:
 #     LABEL                DEPLOYMENT NAME           WORKSPACE       DEPLOYMENT ID                   
 1     MyLabel     elementary-xxx     Workspace     xxxxxxxxxxx

What could be wrong?

Hi @Nikolay-Kha! I noticed you ended up reaching out to our support team to get this issue resolved, but I did want to post back here for anyone else who hits this issue.

We’ve since identified that the root of the deploy error (panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference) is related to the image in your Dockerfile: FROM quay.io/astronomer/ap-airflow:latest-onbuild.

To resolve it:

  1. Change your Dockerfile to specify a particular Airflow version + image. e.g:
    FROM quay.io/astronomer/ap-airflow:1.10.12-1-buster-onbuild

  2. Then, run $ astro deploy again

For a full list of supported Astronomer Certified (AC) images, refer to “Manage Airflow Versions.”. We’ve recorded this as a bug internally and will work with our engineering team to resolve it.

In terms of the issue with Brew install - we’re still investigating! Will relay back an update here or create a new post - I’m glad you were able to install with cURL in the meantime. Appreciate your patience, @Nikolay-Kha! Excited to have you onboard with us.

@Nikolay-Kha Just to follow up here, our CLI team has fixed the issue that caused the Brew Install error and it was just merged in (PR here).

You should be able to try to install the Astro CLI again via Brew with:
$ brew install astronomer/tap/astro

If you do try this, let us know if you run into any issues! Thanks again for reporting this.

Hi @paola, thank you very much for quick fixes. I can confirm - both issues are fixed and everything works for me.
