They say it’s always a good idea to pin your dependency versions to specific versions and not use things like “:latest<\/code>” as base docker image or just a major version in your Python’s requirements.txt<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But why is that exactly? And what happens if you don’t do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If you have a Python project, this seems a pretty harmless definition in your requirements.txt<\/code>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

django==4.0.3<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only harmless, it even looks like a bright idea. After all, your going to get all minor releases with bug fixes from the Django 4.* release line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, until that project introduces breakable changes. Most of the type that is not intentional, but still will break your build and maybe even your customer deployments, depending how you deploy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance at this very moment, if you have a docker image definition that derives from ubuntu:latest your image won’t work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

docker run -it --rm ubuntu:latest bas<\/code>h

I’m sure Ubuntu will fix this pretty quickly, but until they do, your Gitlab pipe jobs will fail with a mysterious shell not found<\/code>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just pin your dependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
