Git executabe over LAN

[knoppys]

All of my development sites are located on our in house development server over LAN. How do I configure the extension to work with remote working directories and not on the local machine.

I have no idea, never worked in such environment. Are your network locations mapped as local drives?

[knoppys]

All our machines are Linux (Ubuntu) machines and we simply connect to the server using the file browsers using the server user login then, open the folder in Brackets. So yes this maps as local network drives. Brackets opens, edits and saves fine.

Well this extension simply executes git commands in current project directory, so it should work. When you turn on debug mode in git settings, what do you see in error console?

![Uploading Untitled.png…]() Commit: Type in a message, hit Ok and get an error saying Git Commit Failed : Aborting due to empty commit mesage. But i did type a message in. Forgive me Im new to Brackets, Ive activated debug mode but where would i find the error console.

Have a look in Debug > Show developer tools > Console

The below is the error, so its looking in the right place but should the commit message not be in between quotes > "message"

brackets-git] cmd-spawn: /run/user/1000/gvfs/ftp:host=192.168.0.40,user=knoppysdev/var/www/servicedcitypads/wp-content/themes/servicedcitypads/ -> git commit -m First commit Utils.js:354 [brackets-git] cmd-spawn-fail (391ms;ID=94): "Aborting commit due to empty commit message."

This keeps popping up every time I try to load a file in the sidebar. It loads but I get this popup.

[zaggino]

Brackets Git updated to version 0.16.6.

can you update and try again? still the same?

[knoppys]

Soz but no, got the same error.

[knoppys]

And this error when adding a commit messgae

[zaggino]

Well, the actual string escaping is done by NodeJs internally, it works on all platforms (I can commit stuff with spaces) but it seems there's something weird about your setup (network drive). This is the code in question https://github.com/zaggino/brackets-git/blob/master/src/domains/cli.js#L57-L59

You can go to extensions folder and try to modify it, maybe you'll come up with a PR to solve your issue.

Something like:

function spawn(directory, command, args, opts, callback) {
        args = args.map(function (arg) {
            if (/\s+/g.test(arg)) {
                return '"' + arg + '"';  
            }
            return arg;
        });

        // https://github.com/creationix/node-git
        var child = crossSpawn(command, args, {
            cwd: directory
        });

could maybe help?
