Inconsistent modification time for created files

Docker Desktop for Mac
1

Expected behavior

When I run a build in a Docker, I expect the timestamps of the created files to be created consistently and compare cleanly to system time both within and outside the Docker.

Actual behavior

When running a script that contains the following commands:

cmake
make

I get the following output:

...
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /Users/ben/Projects/resu/build

docker run --volumes "$(pwd):$(pwd):rw" --workdir "$(pwd)" docker_name script_name

on a script containing the following lines:

I have the same issue when I run bundle install and the bundler tries to build json gem.

Current Behaviour

Installing json 1.8.3 with native extensions

Have either of you (or anyone else) come up for a workaround for this issue? I’m experiencing the same problem as @benrogers with make.

4

@pmdarrow it seems to be fixed in the Version 1.11.1-beta13.1.

I don’t think it is unfortunately. I just installed 1.11.1-beta13.1 (build: 8193) and have the same problem with make for one of my projects:

make: Warning: File `Makefile' has modification time 0.25 s in the future
make[1]: Warning: File `CMakeFiles/Makefile2' has modification time 0.19 s in the future
make[2]: Warning: File `Common/Messages/CMakeFiles/protobuf_generate.dir/progress.make' has modification time 0.17 s in the future

Interesting. For me, make is not failing anymore.
Does $pinata doctor reports anything wrong? How does $pinata diagnose look like in your machine?

I’m not using pinata, I’m building my own project using make. In your example & @benrogers one make is also what is reporting the clock skew error.
