I was testing out the new approach to build harbor-cli from source, which uses dagger commands, and they were not working out for me.

Error faced

I picked up the dagger command from the README:

• This got fixed quickly by adding the source flag in the command, after which I got the following error :

• As visible in the screenshot, The dagger command did not return any binary, and was neither giving any error as to why it was failing.

• This is because of the following portion in the code :

The build-dev command does not return any error log, when the init function is not working.
After making the relevant changes, I found out that my downstream had not cloned any of the tags, because of which the command:

git describe --tags --abbrev=0

was failing and hence everything was failing. On fixing this the build command was working successfully.
