Most egit functionality grayed out... [message #523279]

Obviously, I must be doing something wrong here...

All functionality that modifies a local/cloned repository is grayed out... Also, no label or icon decorators are being shown. I can do compares using Compare WIth->History... But, that's about it.

I'm trying to use a cloned remote repository that I've imported using EGit (using git+ssh). The import works fine. I can use all Git commands from the command line and git-gui on that repository, but not from egit.

Is there some kind of permission issue here? Or are there issues with EGit and CDT?

We just switched over from SVN to Git in our dev environment. It would be nice for our eclipse users to use EGit.

I'm using Eclipse 3.5 with CDT and Egit 0.7.1 using ubuntu 8.0.4.

Same to me, I just updated to 0.7.1 in Zend and most commands are greyed out.

And there is a crash when trying to add a folder to version control. Here I am pasting the stacktrace:

eclipse.buildId=unknown
java.version=1.5.0_11
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_NZ
Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86

Hope you guys can apply a patch asap so that I can continue with my work. Thanks!

Can you point us to such a repository which causes problems? I would suppose
that EGit may have problems with some special features of git.

Permission is not a problem, everything is local on your machine after
cloning. I do not know issues with CDT.

Great!

This line of code (rm.getRepository().getIndex()) indicates that EGit does
not correctly configure the git repository.

Can you point us to such a repository which causes problems? One, we could
clone ourselves to reproduce the issue?

Thank you but I'm afraid I can't reveal the source of the repository because it's a commercial project.

Just tell me what else you need to know and I'll collect the information for you.

Cheers

I had already suspected that...

Lets try:
Does your repo use submodules?
Can you describe the folder structure of your repo: where are the .project
files and where are the .git folders?

Go to the project properties, select git: Is the Git directory path
displayed correctly?
If you unshare your project and share it again, is the correct repo found in
the dialog?

Thanks for you help,
Stefan

Re-Hi Stefan

Here my answers:

Does your repo use submodules?

I don't know what submodules are but I don't think my Project X has any submodules

Can you describe the folder structure of your repo: where are the .project files and where are the .git folders?

In this directory there are all the project files:
D:\Code\Zend Studio Workspace\Project X

And within lies the .git folder:
D:\Code\Zend Studio Workspace\Project X\.git

Go to the project properties, select git: Is the Git directory path
displayed correctly?
Yes, the working directory and git directory are correct.

If you unshare your project and share it again, is the correct repo found in the dialog?
No need, the correct repo is displayed.

By the way, for unknown reasons, the menu items aren't greyed out anymore. I think this happened after I have unshared and shared the project again ...

Cheers

Michael

PS: When is the merging functionality coming? I am waiting for it ... Smile

Hi Michael,

so you had shared/imported your project with an older version of EGit and
after upgrade to 0.7.1 you got the problems?

Do you know which version you had before?

If you newly import the repo and the projects do you still have this
problems? Can you work now without errors?

Thanks and Regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan

Right, previously I used EGit 0.6 and then after upgrading to 0.7.1 through the autoupdate in Zend Studio this problem happened.

I solved it myself by deleting and re-creating the repo. There are no errors anymore and I am able to work again.

When is the merging coming?

Cheers

Michael

We should then test this scenario.

Great!

> When is the merging coming?
We plan for 0.8.0 which may be released in early June to match up with the
Eclipse Helios simultaneous release.
