git wrapper not finding git excecutable

[samuelfrench]

Ok, so I am getting an exception that git wrapper cannot find the git executable. Here is a screenshot of where the error is occurring in the gitwrapper.php file along with the exception message and http request.

So, git is in my path, and the symphony executable function's (http://api.symfony.com/2.4/Symfony/Component/Process/ExecutableFinder.html) find command I would think should be able to find it if it's in the path.

And here is the function that is calling the gitcommands model, which then accesses the gitwrapper

 public function gitAdd($user, $project)
    {
        $gitCommands = new GitCommands($user, $project);

        $path = Input::get("item");

        try
        {
            $gitCommands->gitAdd($path);
        }
        catch (Exception $e)
        {
            $exceptionMessage = $e->getMessage();
            return Response::json($exceptionMessage, 500);
        }

        return Response::make(null, 200);
    }

I'll give you an update in a few hours.

@samuelfrench, open the windows command line (cmd) and type git and hit enter. Paste the output here.

Like I said in class a quick fix would also be to put the path to the git binary when u create the gitWrapper object in the constructor replace $this->wrapper = new GitWrapper(); with $this->wrapper = new GitWrapper('C:\Git\bin\git.exe'); where C:\Git\bin\git.exe is the location of the git binary. Also, as I said spaces in directories will create problems as well. However, this is merely a work around and not a solution.

[mikeholler]

@samuelfrench, please try as I said above and paste the output. It could be easier than Jordan says.

Oh, actually wait! I do! Check your path variables. Is git in your user's path or in the system path? It should be in the system path. On Mar 14, 2014 4:36 PM, "Samuel French" notifications@github.com wrote:

The variable username is set to system.

Right need to get a start on my 415 project which is due tomorrow, so I am going to try Jordan's fix a little later tonight and I'll report back. I have a hunch it will work.

[samuelfrench]

@jkwendt That worked, thanks friend!
