Error when 'View file contents'

[Mrneet]

Thanks for your excellent work.

There is a problem when I try to view one of the history file contents. It worked before. I am not sure when this problem started because I don't use this command for a long time. My laptop and desktop have the same problem. The output is

git rev-parse --show-toplevel (completed in 0.001s) {"stack":"Error: spawn C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git ENOENT\n\tat exports._errnoException (util.js:1050:11)\n\tat Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit (internal/child_process.js:193:32)\n\tat onErrorNT (internal/child_process.js:367:16)\n\tat _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:80:11)\n\tat process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:104:9)","message":"spawn C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git ENOENT","code":"ENOENT","errno":"ENOENT","syscall":"spawn C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git","path":"C:/Program Files/Git/bin/git","spawnargs":["rev-parse","--show-toplevel"]} git rev-parse --show-toplevel (completed in 0.002s)

Having the same issue, "View file contents" does nothing

[freddyouellette]

Same with me. Actually, when I select any option from the menu - "View File Contents", "Compare against workspace file", "Compare against previous version", "View file history," nothing happens. The output from "Git History" shows no signs of anything happening. It worked earlier this morning, I'm almost sure of it.

Same for me. The "View file contents" does nothing. The other 3 work though ("Compare against workspace", "Compare against previous version", "View file history")

Me too:

• OS: Windows 10
• Git: 2.18.0.windows.1
• VSCode: 1.25.1
• Git History: 0.4.2

For some reason, when trying to open history of any file, it appends the drive letter C:/ to the correct path (I have my project on drive D:) so it ends being C:/d:/path/to/file.ext

I am getting the same error. It seems that when the extension submit the command, it builds wrong the path to the file . In the git log I see the following:

git log --pretty=oneline b0859fbc3bedf5b68bf21af1f071ac614b053206^1 -n 1 -- ......\c:\tomer\projects\CellXM\server\controllers\cm\auditController.js (completed in 0.096s) fatal: ......\c:\tomer\projects\CellXM\server\controllers\cm\auditController.js: '......\c:\tomer\projects\CellXM\server\controllers\cm\auditController.js' is outside repository

git show b0859fbc3bedf5b68bf21af1f071ac614b053206:../../../c:/tomer/projects/CellXM/server/controllers/cm/auditController.js (completed in 0.099s) fatal: '../../../c:/tomer/projects/CellXM/server/controllers/cm/auditController.js' is outside repository

When I am using this plugin in VS Code on a mac it works fine - so I believe it's something to do with how Windows files are addressed...

I have the same problem for some months ... someone has found or has a solution 🤔?

[sonnyandersson]

Same issue here...

Same issue here... MacOS 10.13.5

[liximomo]

I've made a pr for this. Hope @DonJayamanne can merge it soon.

[QuadmanSWE]

I have the same problem. This feature is really important in order to follow code evolution and find errors.

Hi,

I also tried to fix this issue but wasn’t even able to debug the extension. Do you have any “guideline” how to get up and running?

Once you do, I’d be happy to try your PR (also, it seems you are using Mac, I’d be happy to get it to work on Windows)

There are other issues.

Clicking "Compare against workspace file" get error

Clicking "Compare against previous version" and nothing happens.

ver. 5.8.2, Windows 10

[tomercagan]

Windows seems to generally have an issue with the path it's trying to open/compare. Can you check/ensure your getting an error?

Thanks for your reply.

This the Git History output when I clicking "Compare against previous version"

git log --pretty=oneline 748083f3d3130afc80255eb420643668d8533f8c^1 -n 1 -- ................\c:\Users\skywm\Documents\Ph.D\In Mizzou\Papers\Position and DOA Estimation Using TDOA\ClosedForm_TDOA_MPR_IEEEtran\Position_DOA_Estmate_jrnl.tex (completed in 0.073s) fatal: ................\c:\Users\skywm\Documents\Ph.D\In Mizzou\Papers\Position and DOA Estimation Using TDOA\ClosedForm_TDOA_MPR_IEEEtran\Position_DOA_Estmate_jrnl.tex: '................\c:\Users\skywm\Documents\Ph.D\In Mizzou\Papers\Position and DOA Estimation Using TDOA\ClosedForm_TDOA_MPR_IEEEtran\Position_DOA_Estmate_jrnl.tex' is outside repository

Actually, the error does not happen every time. As I know, if I reopen the VS Code, open Git History and chose a record, both the comparing with workspace and previous version work well. But if I switch to another record, the errors happen as I descripted in the recent comment.

I am sorry for my unclear description. I am not familiar with Git.

[strongui]

Same issue here as described above.

[liximomo]

@Mrneet I've made a fix package. You can use it until @DonJayamanne merge my pr.

[Mrneet]

@liximomo Thank you! I have moved to GitLens. I'll back after this problem has been fixed.

[dontry]

Same issue here as described above.

[QuadmanSWE]

@liximomo Thanks a million.

My setup:

Version: 1.26.1 Commit: 493869ee8e8a846b0855873886fc79d480d342de Date: 2018-08-16T18:37:28.532Z Electron: 2.0.5 Chrome: 61.0.3163.100 Node.js: 8.9.3 V8: 6.1.534.41 Architecture: ia32

I'm on Windows 10 and I am experiencing all these issues mentioned above.

In addition, when I click on a specific commit within my File History I get the following message:

git remote get-url origin (completed in 0.262s) fatal: No such remote 'origin'

[ole1986]

May also be fixed with PR #316

[ole1986]

is this still an issue in version 0.4.3?

[QuadmanSWE]

Finally, looks like all the features work when looking at/comparing to old versions of a file.

edit: Just wanted to add a big thank you to whoever fixed this issue and for those that brought it up. This made me in a good mood. =)
