gradlew.bat doesn't work for me

WhiteIceSpirit commented 1 month ago

Environment info

1.20.4 extra-sounds-stable-build 3

Description

I think I'm just missing a single step, but when I run the batch, it just shows me an error. It fails with an exception. It says, it cannot find '.git' directory. Is there anything I need to do before running the gradlew.bat file? I saw another post here stating that running the batch makes it work just fine, but unfortunately not for me.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Steps I did:

extract the zip of the build into a folder I created
open the folder and run gradlew.bat (the windows console doesn't know anything about the gradlew build command)

Is this related to other mods or libraries?

I’m assuming you are using the “extract zip” downloaded from the Tags’ archive. It’s not recommended as there are two reasons:

SoundCategories project is included as a git-submodule and is empty when you retrieved as an archive (zipball or tarball).
For local builds, it’s necessary to get the commit hash from Git to generate the build version.

Therefore, this project requires knowledge of Git.

Please see this wiki page: https://github.com/lonefelidae16/extra-sounds/wiki/How-to-build-this-project

If you just want to obtain third-party builds, links are available at GitHub Tags’ commit message.

Ahhh now I get it. I needed to install GIT before doing anything in the tutorial. Now I'm rolling. I got the build to work. Thank you for your response and your help!
