GitGutter isn't working on OSX Sublime Text 3

[gespinha]

Hi there,

I have installed and reinstalled various times GitGutter and it still doesn't work. I have tried verifying if I am using git and it is on. What should I do to diagnose my problem?

Thanks

[jisaacks]

Did you try setting the git path?

Yes, it did it now, but it didn't work. My git path returned as "/usr/bin/git" does this make any sense to you?

[josue]

I also cannot install the package via the Sublime package manager, however it did work when i tried via commandline and git cloning.

Here's my Sublime console output if it helps:

Open your user settings and remove git gutter from the ignored packages.

@jisaacks I have verified my User Settings and GitGutter isn't in the "ignored packages". @josue How do I install this via commandline and git cloning?

[jisaacks]

Have you checked both user and default? Because the output you pasted said it is.

[gespinha]

@jisaacks I have checked both and the values are the same:

"ignored_packages":["Vintage"]

[josue]

I have verified my User Settings and GitGutter isn't in the "ignored packages".

@Gespinha see instructions for Installation > OSX

[jisaacks]

Ahh, I was responding via email and I didn't notice I was talking to 2 different people. It was @josue that had the output about the ignored packages.

[gespinha]

@jisaacks oh, no problem. @josue I have tried installing via commandline and still doesn't work

Any other way I can diagnose the problem? How can I see the output?

[jisaacks]

@Gespinha Have you installed via package control or git clone?

Also, did you check the console ctrl + ` for errors?

[gespinha]

GitGutter is not creating a folder for its files in my packages folder. I guess that is the reason why I am getting an error like this, is it not?

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/GitGutter/view_collection.py'

Because I have checked and I have no folder named "GitGutter"

[jisaacks]

Are you saying that the path:

/Users/myusername/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages/GitGutter

Does not exist for you?

I am a little confused, because if git gutter is not there, then I do not know what would be looking for the view_collection.py file.

[gespinha]

Yes, I install GitGutter and the folder doesn't exist. The folder called "GitGutter".

[jisaacks]

I assuming you have installed via package control? Package control has a command called list packages check it to see if it lists git gutter. If not, make sure you have the latest version of package control and try again. If you have the latest version of package control, and after you install via package control, it does not list git gutter when you ask it to list the installed packages - then install via git clone.

[jisaacks]

Oh you said you have also tried installing via command line and it didn't work. Can you please explain step by step what you did, and what happened.

I am trying to determine if you just do not have it installed (which is sounds like) or if it is just not working.

[gespinha]

I have git and latest version of Package Control installed. I have tried installing vie package control or git cloning.

I'm just installing and restarting sublime text everytime.

[gespinha]

I have tried disabling every package I have besides GitGutter and still doesn't work

[jisaacks]

OK when you tried git cloning, what directory did you do it in? Did the repo actually get cloned?

[gespinha]

Yes, I've cloned it and the repo is there, so it is cloning. The package still doesn't work though

[jisaacks]

You also get no errors?

Try this:

Add the following line just under the run method in git_gutter.py:

sublime.message_dialog("git gutter is running")

Then on your sublime text console (hit keys ctrl+` to open it) enter the command:

window.run_command("git_gutter")

Do you get a message dialog?

[gespinha]

Strange, I just noticed the package is working for the git_gutter.py file. And as I inserted the first line in under the run, the alert sign just popped out.

What now?

[jisaacks]

So when you are editing the GitGutter package, GitGutter works as normal?

If so, is it just the 1 repo that git gutter is not working in? Have you tried other repos?

[gespinha]

Yes, I am using other packages and I tried to edit them too, but realised it only works for GitGutter's repo

[jmromer]

I'm having this same issue, oddly enough. it works fine on one user account, but on this new one that I set up, GitGutter won't start and doesn't respond to window.run_command("git_gutter"). I have a fresh install of Sublime Text on this account...I'll poke around and see if I can find what might be going on.

[jmromer]

When I uninstall and reinstall GitGutter, it shows in when I List Packages in the command palette, yet there's no GitGutter directory under Packages, only a settings file for GitGutter under Installed Packages. And the console has the following from the installation:

Not sure why GitGutter's showing up under "ignored packages" but it's not there after installation—neither in User or Default preferences.

[jmromer]

Tried it again after uninstalling the Soda Dark theme:

It looks like Package Manager temporarily adds and then removes any package it's installing/uninstalling to the ignored packages list.

Installing manually didn't help, but for some reason this fork works: https://github.com/bradsokol/VcsGutter

[lucasmezencio]

I have the same issue. I have already installed and reinstalled (via Package Control only) several times. And it still does not working. No errors and no folder called GitGutter under Packages folder.

I just do not know what to do.

If I install via repo cloning, the plugin works, but I want to install via Package Control as well. Can anyone help us?

Thanks!

[scherichel]

@lucasmezencio If you're on mac there's a package called SublimeFixMacPath

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/
git clone git://github.com/int3h/SublimeFixMacPath.git

After using this package GitGutter was back to normal.

[aaaronic]

I can offer a +1 for SublimeFixMacPath fixing my issue with GitGutter not working.

[daniisco]

Can someone help me. I installed sublime text 3 yesterday and I have installer Gitgutter and the Fix path but it doesnt work. What do I do?

[Pictor13]

I would add that I thought to have the same issue. Then I checked better and I found a problem with PHPCS not correctly running. After fixing PHPCS there were no other errors in the console, and GitGutter seemed to be correctly installed (as in this Issue).

After a little I realised that simply PHPCS was hiding the GitGutter's icons cause of some problems in the code.

I suggest you to press CMD+SHIFT+P and execute the "PHP Code Sniffer: Turn Execute On Save Off". This way you should see correctly the icons!

If it IS installed and you DO NOT SEE any error, then everything is working ok. Just there is something else "covering" the icons. So mainly check for other extensions that could provoke the problem!

[daniisco]

Pictor13. When I press CMD+SHIFT+P do you want me to install the plugin PHPCs? What do you mean by execute the "PHP Code Sniffer: Turn Execute On Save Off". Sorry for the stupid question.

[Pictor13]

daniisco, CMD+SHIFT+P (on OSX) is opening the "Command Palette"; the same you are getting going to the menu "Tools -> Command Palette...". That is one of the main features of Sublime, it allows you to execute whatever command you need and that is supported by Sublime. Over there you have to write "PHP Code Sniffer: Turn Execute On Save Off", or even just the starting letters or part of the words (but in sequence). You can type:

• pcsteoff
• PHP Code Sniffer: Turn Execute On Save Off
• phpcs off they are equivalent. Press ENTER. Then you should get the extension PHPCS to not overriding (graphically) the GitGutter icons.

[daniisco]

@Pictor13 It doesn't work to click enter, nothing happens :/

[Pictor13]

When you press enter you just execute the command, that makes what it says: disables the sniffing of the code. After that the other Sublime extension, "PHP Code Sniffer", doesn't interfere with "GitGutter" and should show the icons for the changes.

• Has the file you are testing been committed in a Git repository?
• Do you have on it any change in the code, respect to you last Gig commit?
• Do you have the PHP-CS (SublimeLinter-phpcs) extension?
  • is it working?
  • did you try to put some invalid code into the file, then save, to see if PHP-CS is raising any notice? (so that you are sure it is working)
  • did you disable the PHP-CS behaviour with the command I was telling you? ("Turn execute on save off")

My suggestion is relative to my case. There could be a possibility that in your case the problem is not a conflict with PHP-CS.

[plicjo]

SublimeFixMacPath fixed this issue for me too.

[rajankur]

This solved for me:

1. Added GitGutter in ignored_packages
2. Restarted Sublime Text
3. Removed GitGutter from ignored_packages

[jisaacks]

Is this still an issue?

[trantorLiu]

SublimeFixMacPath fixed this issue for me too.

[amerikan]

My GitGutter had stopped working after I did a Mac OSX update. The problem was being caused by Xcode, since it updated too I had to open it and agree to its terms and conditions. After that GitGutter started working again. I guess Xcode was locking up my git.

[dansterrett]

@amerikan's solution worked for me.

[giovannibonetti]

Thanks, @amerikan! :+1:

[amerikan]

@dansterrett @giovannibonetti Great!

I found this out after running the git in my command-line. So if your GitGutter is not working first run git in your command-line and go from there.

[bfcoder]

:+1: Thanks @amerikan!

[eko3alpha]

I just updated to El Capitan and found that GitGutter was no longer working on ST3, I manually ran

git clone https://github.com/int3h/SublimeFixMacPath.git ~/Library/Application\ Support/Sublime\ Text\ 3/Packages/FixMacPath

SublimeFixMacPath https://github.com/int3h/SublimeFixMacPath

Now its working again. It appears this happens on OSX updates. I had to do this once before.

[richkuo]

@amerikan BRILLIANT! THANK YOU!!

[achilles-tee]

@amerikan's solution alternative way execute xcode-select --install in terminal will update the xcode as well.

[StewartDouglas]

@amerikan :+1: thanks!
