Error: 'Repository is outside of "RepoFolders"' even though it is listed #45

Closed ianthrive closed 4 years ago

ianthrive commented 5 years ago

Opening a repository folder displays the error message 'Repsitory is outside of "Repo Folders"' even though the folder is listed.

The list of folders in Preferences > Repsitories cannot be changed. There are several folders listed, but attempting to add to or remove from the list has no effect.

Hm, it seems for some reason one of the preferences file got corrupted. I'd like to know what happened, but I guess it's too late now. In any case I'll look in the code to see if I can identify situations when that may happen.

That being said, try the following procedure, it should fix things for you:

  1. Make sure GitFinder is not running.
  2. Delete preferences file: ~/Library/Containers/ag.zigz.GitFinder/Data/Library/Preferences/ag.zigz.GitFinder.plist, or if you want to keep your settings, open that file and delete key GFFoldersURLs.
  3. Delete preferences file: ~/Library/Group Containers/MQ76M469AB.ag.zigz.GitFinder/Library/Preferences/MQ76M469AB.ag.zigz.GitFinder.plist, or again, to keep other preferences open that file and delete key GFFoldersURLs.
  4. Open Terminal.app and execute this from there: "defaults read ag.zigz.GitFinder”.

After executing these steps, relaunch GitFinder, your repo folders list should be empty. Try to add a repository folder (or its parent) to “Repo Folder” preferences list. If it still doesn't work please let me know and we’ll see what further steps we can take to debug/resolve this issue.

Thanks, step 2 was all that was needed, I didn’t do anything else.

Here’s the .plist file in case it’s helpful.
