Not working and not useful error message

[Robert-Ernst]

I'm using Git Blame in VSCode with Windows10 and WSL Ubuntu. I'm using Github.com Repositories with 2FA with SSH remotes in all repos.

I don't have any annotations and if I try to show something per Git Blame: Show quick Info I will get this error:

Since I working almost only with the WSL, it could be that my Git in Windows (CMD, Path, etc) isn't properly configured. But I don't have any clue which Git information Git Blame is using, since it should simply use the SSH credentials.

Hey Ernst.

Thank you for the issue!

There is more debug information available in the Output (View: Toggle Output) under "Extension: gitblame". By default it tries to use the git.path configuration from vscode and if that is null or missing it will try to execute git.

I have confirmed that there is a bug that will still display the template commit if the quick info is displayed using the command.

I have released a fix for the 00000... message.

@Sertion Here is my output

[ 16:40:16 | command ] git rev-parse --show-toplevel
[ 16:40:16 | error ] Error
[ 16:40:16 | info ] File "c:\path\file.md" is not a decendant of a git repository
[ 16:40:16 | info ] File "c:\path\file.md" is not a decendant of a git repository
[ 16:40:27 | info ] Will not try to blame file "\extension-output-#2" as it is outside of the current workspace

But the message is kinda misleading. There is a .git folder next to it and it is a Git Repository. I tested it aswell with Open Folder in the parent directory (spanning several Git Folder) aswell with opening a single project folder

Not sure if your fix is already applied. But the 0000... error is gone indeed

Thank you for getting back to me @BerndErnst!

A fix for the 0000... error did indeed get deployed yesterday. Great to hear that it worked for you.

As for the misleading messages: If the git rev-parse --show-toplevel command can't find a git-folder vscode-gitblame will not press the issue further and accept that there is no git repository available for the file.

When there is an error executing a command vscode-gitblame logs what was outputted to stderr by the command. In this case it was the rather unhelpful Error. Is it possible for you to run git rev-parse --show-toplevel in the folder where file.md is?

P.S. The relevant functions are GitFilePhysical.executeGitRevParseCommand and execute if anyone want's to have a look.

@BerndErnst Could it be that git is missing from the host os? Have you looked in to wslgit?

A version that should resolve this issue was released last week.
