#7246 closed defect (worksforme)

[git] git_bin doesn't strip # comments and spaces correctly.

Reported by: anonymous Owned by: Herbert Valerio Riedel
Priority: low Component: GitPlugin
Severity: major Keywords: giterror retrieve version synchronize
Cc: Trac Release: 0.12

Description

Trac 0.12, git 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0, tracgit 0.12.0.2dev.

If you have comments and spaces after the filename in git_bin, GitPlugin will report 

Warning: Can't synchronize with repository "(default)" (GIT backend not available). Look in the Trac log for more information.

due to 

Trac[git_fs] ERROR: GitError: Could not retrieve GIT version

For example, this will fail : 

git_bin = path\to\git.exe # Abandon all hope.

Whereas this will succeed 

git_bin = path\to\git.exe
# Sunshine & kittens!

This caused me hours of grief. Hope I help others.

Could I (initial poster) also suggest a more informative error message? Perhaps...

  • The full path- & filename that GitPlugin is attempting to use.
  • The OS response in case of error (if any).
  • The version string or error returned by git.exe which GitPlugin then attempts to parse.

I still get:

ERROR: GitError: Could not retrieve GIT version

and don't get it fixed.

openSUSE 11.1 trac 0.12 git 1.7.1
